Location of Wetteldorf in Rhineland-Palatinate

Wetteldorf is a part of the community Schönecken in the Rhineland-Palatinate Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm . Wetteldorf was an independent municipality until 1960.

geography

Wetteldorf is located in the Eastern Eifel on the southern edge of the Prümer Kalkmulde . The residential areas Auf dem Bellert, Hauenborn, Herchenbach and Irsfelderhof also belong to the Wetteldorf district . Geography is important because the 1937 Wetteldorfer directional cut opened up the geological stratification that determines the Eifelium , the stratum that separates the Middle Devon from the Lower Devon. The boundary identified by fossil conodonts was declared the reference line by the International Commission on Stratigraphy in 1981. The cut is protected by the Ludwig-Happel-Hütte, which was built in the 1990s, and is occasionally the scene of geological research.

history

Wetteldorf was first mentioned in a document on August 13, 762 as "Wathilendorp in pago Carosco" ( Karosgau ), when King Pippin of the Prüm Abbey confirmed their possessions. In the Prümer Urbar from the year 893 the place was named "Wettellendorpht". In 1222 Caesarius remarked that the whole place with all its accessories had already been assigned to the hospital by the abbey's founders. The rights of the hospital were confirmed again in a division agreement from 1291.

One of the administrative and judicial districts of the Principality of Prüm, which had existed since 1222 and later (after 1576) of the Electorate of Trier, was named after Wetteldorf . The places Reuland , Schweißthal and Seiwerath also belonged to the “Hof Wetteldorf” . Wetteldorf belonged to the Electorate of Trier until the end of the 18th century, the court Wetteldorf was one of 16 court districts that belonged to the Electorate of Trier Prüm .

After the annexation of the Left Bank of the Rhine by French revolutionary troops , Wetteldorf belonged to the canton of Prüm in the Saar department from 1798 to 1814 . The municipality of Wetteldorf belonged to the Mairie Schönecken. In 1815 the region was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna . From 1816 to Wetteldorf belonged to the mayor Schönecken in county Prüm the administrative district of Trier , who from 1822 to part of the Rhine province was. Wetteldorf later belonged to the Prussian (after 1927) and the Rhineland-Palatinate (after 1946) office of Schönecken .

In 1960, the two previously independent communities Schönecken and Wetteldorf were merged under the name Schönecken-Wetteldorf. On June 1, 1967, the community "Schönecken-Wetteldorf" was renamed "Schönecken".
