During the time of French rule, Strohn was the seat of a "mairie" ("mayoralty") in the Canton of Manderscheid and the Arrondissement of Prüm, and even into Prussian times, this was still a "Bürgermeisterei" (also "mayoralty"). On 22 August 1841, with ministerial permission, the "Bürgermeisterei" of Strohn was amalgamated with that of Gillenfeld. The "Bürgermeisterei" of Strohn included until 1841 Brockscheid, Immerath, mit dem Heckenhofe, Mückeln mit Schutzalf, Niederwinkel, Oberwinkel, Sprink, Trautzberg and Strotzbüsch. On the road from Strohn to Mückeln lies the "Herrenbüsch" where graves from Roman times can still be found. Some officers who were here on manoeuvres in 1875 had one such grave right at the roadside opened. Inside, they found jugs still filled with ashes, old coins, swords, amulets and lance heads.
