History
There are three different historical regions: the abbey and the city of Prüm have been directly subordinate to the Holy Roman Emperor in medieval times; later the free city became the principality of Prüm, occupying large portions in the north.
The southwest including the town of Bitburg was a part of Luxembourg from the 10th to the 15th century. Later it was a part of the Seventeen Provinces and hence under Spanish resp. Austrian rule. After the Napoleonic Wars it was decided to hand this region over to Prussia.
The eastern parts of the district, including the town of Kyllburg, were property of the bishop of Trier.
When Prussia gained all these regions about 1815, it established the three districts of Bitburg, Prüm and Trier. In 1970 the districts of Bitburg and Prüm were merged with parts of the former district of Trier in order to form the present district.
Geography
The district covers the sparsely populated southwestern part of the Eifel Mountains. The portions along the western borders are occupied by a common German-Belgian nature park and a German-Luxembourgian nature park. A great number of rivers rise from the Schneifel in the northwest and from the Kyllwald in the east, and runs southward to the Sauer[?] River (french Sûre), which is an affluent of the Moselle.

Ah! our replies, when the signs of disease are yet too indefinite for up to the sick girl's chamber; that north-west room, at the window storm and darkness. I found her lying in apparent sleep, and odor that usually accompanies an eruptive fever. "How do you feel now?" I asked. She had opened her eyes as I took her hand. She did not answer, but pulse small, but tense and corded. "Does your head ache?" I wished to arouse her to external.
