History

Prehistoric

If, as can be expected, the first part of the name Manderscheid from the Celtic word " mantara " = jaw is derived, so should be considered as the proof that the Manderscheider area was inhabited in very early times. Near Schwarzenborn several Stone Age settlements have been found. It is also known that a large number of graves of the Hallstatt period have been discovered with many decorative objects and equipment on the road from Steineberg by Demerath ( near Mehren ), so that one almost speaks of a Mehrener culture. In Wallscheid graves of the La Tène period and the Hallstatt period have also been found, as well (1916 ) in Laufeld. In Wallscheid there were two iron arrowheads, emerging from this period, and a bronze vessel.

More numerous are the finds from the Roman period. Next to the villa of Manderscheid, which was uncovered in 1863 at the foot of Moses Mountain, occur Roman finds in almost all places in the neighborhood for days. In Dierfeld and Wallscheid were found remains of such houses, graves and urns in Laufeld, Manderscheid, Öfflingen, Pantenburg, Wallscheid, Großlittgen, Oberkail and Karl, sporadically coins. Special attention should be paid in addition to the four gods of stone Großlittgen two altars that were found in 1920 in Pantenburg. They were dedicated to the god and goddesses Voroius Boudina and Alauna and probably belonged to a Gallo-Roman source sanctuary. This may show that has already existed in Roman times, a large number of settlements in the area of Manderscheid. Are rarer - as almost everywhere - finds from the Frankish period. In Pantenburg you found a lance, a spear and a shield, a sword and a corner square in the visor plate.

Despite these sparse findings for this time but we may assume a significant compression of the settlement, and the majority of today's villages will be developed at that time, as the place names suggest, with the endings- distinguishable, - field, -ingen. Thus, 794 and 895 " Officinus Villa " mentioned (today Öfflingen ), 973 Manderscheid and " Eckiveld " ( corner square ), 1161 " Louvenvelt " ( Laufeld ).

History

Manderscheid (medieval name: Manderschiet ) was first mentioned in 973. Since the mid-12th century it belonged to the Electorate of Trier. Baldwin of Luxembourg gave Manderscheid 1332 city rights. It was the capital of a kurtrierischen Office and at the same time the Counts of Manderscheid. Beginning in 1794, all Manderscheid under French rule, 1815, the place on the Congress of Vienna was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia. Since 1946 he is part of Rhineland- Palatinate then newly founded. The building of the once electoral Kellnerei now houses the seat of the municipal administration Manderscheid.

The Luziakirche, also named Lucia chapel ( probably the first church in the village ) was in the Middle Ages in the northern outskirts of Manderscheid. 1386 there was Lucia of Manderscheid, wife of Heinrich von Manderscheid, buried. To 1794, the chapel was burned down by French troops. The former site is now a deserted village, that is, there are no remains of the chapel longer visible. Only a street name recalled. From Luziakapelle that comes today in the parish church of St. Hubertus established image of Our Lady of Sorrows. The Pietà comes from the period around 1600; in the restoration in the 1960s, traces of fire were still being discovered.
