Having been founded as a Frankish settlement, Trittenheim had its first documentary mention in 893 in the Prümer Urbar, a catalogue of Prüm Abbey’s holdings, and for a long time was Electoral-Trier domain. Beginning in 1794, Trittenheim lay under French rule. In 1814 it was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna. Since 1947, it has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
