Schutz is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Vulkaneifel district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Daun, whose seat is in the like-named town.
The municipality lies in the Vulkaneifel, a part of the Eifel known for its volcanic history, geographical and geological features, and even ongoing activity today, including gases that sometimes well up from the earth.
Schutz lies on the Burberg, whose elevation is 528.5 m above sea level.
Schutz’s neighbours are Wallenborn (5 km), Weidenbach (3.5 km), Bleckhausen (1.3 km) and Deudesfeld (3.5 km).
In 1238, Schutz had its first documentary mention. Dietrich von Hanster (or Hanxler) was enfeoffed by Heinrich, Lord of Manderscheid and Kerpen with a castle at Manderscheid, a house in the dale and the estate and the mill “zu Schutze” (“at Schutz”).
In 1570, the chapel, consecrated to Saint Wendelin, was mentioned.
In 1723, there was a dispute among Schutz, Manderscheid, Bleckhausen and Niederstadtfeld over how the woodlands of Idler and Ruckbein should be divided. It led to a court case. In 1794, the village had 94 inhabitants. In 1803, Schutz became a branch of the Parish of Bleckhausen.
