Geography



Location


The municipality lies in the Eifel about 1.5 km east of Illerich and roughly 6 km north of the river Moselle.



History


Barrow groups point to early settlement of what is now Wirfus. In 1056, the municipality had its first documentary mention.


With the occupation of the Rhine’s left bank by French Revolutionary troops in 1794, the Electorate of Trier, for centuries the local overlord, fell. In 1814 Wirfus was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna. Since 1946, it has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.



Politics



Municipal council


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



Mayor


Wirfus’s mayor is Herbert Thönnes, and his deputies are Resi Henzgen and Reiner Geyermann.[3]



Coat of arms


The German blazon reads: Wappen durch goldenen Stabsparren geteilt, oben rechts in Rot goldene Pflugschar, oben links in Rot goldene Rose, unten in Grün silberne Urne.


The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Gules a pile transposed Or surmounted by a pile transposed vert charged with an urn argent, in dexter chief a ploughshare affronty and in sinister chief a rose of the second.


The arms were designed by A. Friderichs and J. Junglas.[4]
