Later, the Roman road led past Noswendel. Noswendel was first mentioned in 1335 as "Noiswie" in books of Mettlach Abbey. The name of the place, which meant something like "wet meadow", changed via "Nooßwendel" (1649) to its current name. In the Middle Ages up to the French Revolution, Noswendel was part of the Dagstuhl dominion. The town of Batschweiler was first mentioned in a document in 1647.
Until the end of the First World War, Noswendel belonged to the district of Merzig, which was part of the Prussian regional council in Trier. In 1920, according to the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, this district was assigned to the Saar area, which was under the administration of the League of Nations - with the exception of the Hochwald communities (districts of Wadern, Losheim and Weiskirchen), including Noswendel, which remained with the Trier regional council under the name "Restkreis Merzig". The district administration of the "rest of the district" was located in Wadern. After the Second World War, France decreed that the "residual district" belonged to the newly formed Saarland, which was under French influence. On January 1, 1957, Saarland and with it Noswendel became part of the German state again. However, the economic connection to the Federal Republic did not take place until July 6, 1959. As part of the Saarland regional and administrative reform, the previously independent municipality of Noswendel was dissolved on January 1, 1974 and assigned to the municipality of Wadern, which in turn was elevated to the status of a town in 1978 Source: Text Wikipedia.org
