Geography

Location

The municipality lies in mixed woodland in the western Vulkaneifel not far from Spangdahlem Air Base. The municipal area is 71.2% wooded. Schwarzenborn belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde Wittlich-Land.

History

Schwarzenborn belonged from the Late Middle Ages to the County of Manderscheid and until the line died out in 1762, the village was ruled by the Manderscheid-Kail branch of the noble family, who owned a castle in nearby Oberkail. Thereafter, the lordship passed to the Manderscheid-Blankenheim line, which held it until the lands on the Rhine’s left bank became French. In 1814, Schwarzenborn passed to Prussia, which administered the village through the Mayoralty (Bürgermeisterei) of Oberkail. The Oberkail church also served the Schwarzenborners as their parish church, but Himmerod Abbey, too, about 3 km to the southeast, characterized the area. Since 1947, Schwarzenborn has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Politics

Municipal council

The council is made up of 6 council members, who were elected by majority vote at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.[2]

gollark: Like the old AMD bulldozer CPUs and how they were marketed as 8-core but did not actually work that well.
gollark: I mean, not entirely *meaningless*, but given that this mineputer probably runs on architectures weirder than our own it's unlikely to actually be quad-core in the same way.
gollark: "Quad core" is meaningless.
