"... The first signs of a settlement can be traced back to Roman times. The discovery of gold coins, potsherds and tool parts suggests that a settlement existed as early as the 3rd century. The first documentary evidence of the village dates back to 1171, In which the knight Ludwig von Deudesfeld is mentioned by name as a witness. Among other things, the founding of the nunnery St. Thomas an der Kyll can be attributed to him, combined with an extensive donation, which meant centuries of dependence for Deudesfeld under French rule (from 1794) brought a detachment from the ecclesiastical order.

In the course of the centuries, Deudesfeld was not spared from the unrest and turmoil of world events. The witch hunts and the plague did not leave the village untouched. In particular, however, secular and ecclesiastical responsibilities led to exploitation and oppression. Looting and atrocities of the medieval wars meant a further aggravation of the suffering in the overall existing poverty. Thus, during the wars of the 17th century, the village was deserted for more than 7 years; the population had hidden in the surrounding forests to survive. But even the invasion of Napoleon's troops brought no real improvement. This resulted in taxes being paid to the French state and young men being drafted into the revolutionary army.

Another momentous event took place on September 12, 1888, when a blaze reduced 21 houses (out of a total of 80 apartments in the village) and 24 barns and stables, the entire south-western part of the village, to rubble within a few hours. ..."
