Reuth is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Vulkaneifel district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Gerolstein, whose seat is in the municipality of Gerolstein. The municipality lies in the Vulkaneifel, a part of the Eifel known for its volcanic history, geographical and geological features, and even ongoing activity today, including gases that sometimes well up from the earth. In 1335, the Counts of Blankenheim transferred the town of Kyle (which included Reuth) to King John of Bohemia, whereupon they were promptly enfeoffed with it. Less than a century later, however, Reuth found itself in the hands of the Counts of Loen, in 1423. In 1469, all the Blankenheims’ holdings fell under the administration of the Counts of Manderscheid. These they held for more than three centuries, until in 1780, the Count of Sternberg took over all the Manderscheids’ holdings. He did not enjoy them for very long, for in 1794, the French took over this part of Germany in the wake of the French Revolution, incorporating Reuth and the rest of the region into the French Republic. It is believed that the outlying centre of Neureuth was founded in 1814. Two years later, Reuth found itself under Prussian administration. In 1859, the village's first school was built.
