History

The Verbandsgemeinde Schweich was created by the state law amending municipal constitutional regulations and preparing the reorganization of the municipalities of July 16, 1968, which determined the reorganization of the previous offices into Verbandsgemeinden. The Verbandsgemeinde Klüsserath was dissolved in the course of the territorial reform carried out by the State of Rhineland-Palatinate in 1969/1970 and the local municipalities of Klüsserath, Leiwen, Köwerich, Detzem, Thörnich, Ensch, Schleich, Pölich and Bekond became part of the Verbandsgemeinde Schweich. The officially awarded additional designation "an der Römischen Weinstraße" has been used since January 1, 1989.[2] On January 1, 2012, the municipality of Trittenheim was incorporated. It was previously part of the Verbandsgemeinde Neumagen-Dhron in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district.
