History

The history of the district of Trier goes back to the year 1816. At that time the Kingdom of Prussia after the Congress of Vienna divided its provinces in a total of 25 administrative districts of a, including thus was also the Trier region within the province of the Grand Duchy of the Lower Rhine, from 1822 Rhine Province. After the Second World War, the Region of Trier in 1946 part of Rhineland- Palatinate. Here he was one of the first five administrative districts. The others were Koblenz, Montabaur, Rheinhessen ( based in Mainz) and Pfalz ( based in Neustadt on the Wine Route ). He first covered the urban district of Trier, and the counties of Bernkastel (today district Bernkastel -Wittlich ), Bitburg (now the district of Bitburg -Prüm ), down (today Eifel ), Prüm (now the district of Bitburg -Prüm ), Saar castle (now Trier -Saar castle ) Trier (now Trier -Saar castle ) and Wittlich (today district Bernkastel -Wittlich ).

Before the First World War and the present-day Saarland belonged (except for the Saar Pfalz-Kreis and parts of the district of Sankt Wendel ) to the Trier region. After the Treaty of Versailles, the Saar was separated and placed under League of Nations mandate in 1920. For Saar et al included the vast majority of the circle Merzig ( later called the root Merzig ). In Prussia and therefore the Trier region remained only the so-called residual Merzig -Wadern, who now had his seat in Wadern. After the Second World War, ordinary and residual Merzig were reunited in 1946 and since then are the Saarland, where he has been operational since 1964 under the name of the district Merzig- Wadern. In the same way in 1920 from the given to the Saar district of Sankt Wendel St. Wendel, the rest circuit - Baumholder was separated, which remained in the Trier region. This radical group was, however, incorporated in 1937 in the Region of Koblenz belonging to the district of Birkenfeld.

In the district reform, which was completed in Rhineland -Palatinate between 1969 and 1974, the districts were merged into larger administrative units. From 1974 until its dissolution in 2000, the Trier region thus included the county-level city of Trier and the above four counties.

The term Trier region is also used on the resolution of the administrative district of various non-governmental organizations ( Chamber of Commerce, transport network, media) for this exact area.
