Talling is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

The municipality lies some 20 km east of Trier and 8 km from the Mehring interchange on the Autobahn A 1. The municipality lies in the middle of the Hunsrück, whose highest elevation is the nearby Erbeskopf at 816 m above sea level. Talling belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Thalfang am Erbeskopf, whose seat is in the municipality of Thalfang.

Beginning in 1112, Talling belonged to the Mark Thalfang, a territory roughly corresponding to today’s Verbandsgemeinde. After the French Revolution, the Rhine’s left bank, and thereby Talling too, were ceded to France in 1794 and 1795. Through a law from 26 March 1798, the French abolished feudal rights in their zone of occupation. To the Mayoralty (Mairie) of Talling belonged the villages of Berglicht, Gielert, Lückenburg, Neunkirchen and Schönberg. After French rule ended, the village passed in 1814 to the Kingdom of Prussia and shortly thereafter was assigned to the Amt of Thalfang. Since 1947, it has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
