Reifferscheid () is a municipality in the district of Ahrweiler, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde Adenau and is one of the highest points in the High Eifel.
==History== The oldest traces of settlement are finds from the early Celtic Protohistory. Reifferscheid was first mentioned in a document from St. Maximin's Abbey in Trier in 975. From 1276, the place belonged to the county of Nürburg and thus to the Electorate of Cologne. A Schultheiß belonging to the electoral office of Nürburg had its seat in Reifferscheid until the end of the 18th century.
