Altenwied Office (Nassau)
The Nassau Office of Altenwied was an administrative unit that existed in the Duchy of Nassau from 1806 to 1815 . The administrative seat was in Asbach in the Westerwald , it was initially an "Administration Commission" in Wiesbaden and from 1809 subordinated to the Ehrenbreitstein administrative district. The office comprised the parishes of Asbach, Neustadt and Windhagen and was divided into twelve monies , to which about 140 villages and hamlets belonged.
history
The area of the Nassau office of Altenwied was part of the Electorate of Cologne until the beginning of the 19th century and was initially awarded to Prince zu Wied-Runkel in 1803 due to the main Imperial Deputation. After the establishment of the Rhine Confederation , the area went to the Duchy of Nassau . Nassau essentially took over the previous administrative structures of the Electorate of Cologne for the offices of Altenwied, Linz and Neuerburg . The lordship of Burglahr ( Lahrer Herrlichkeit ), which originally belonged to the Altenwied district, was assigned to Nassau-Usingen and the Linz district as early as 1803 .
Since the originally Electoral Cologne office of Altenwied last belonged (1803–1806) to the Prince of Wied-Runkel , it was part of the noble "sovereign lands" within the Duchy of Nassau, and a separate "administration commission" was set up in Wiesbaden to manage these sovereign lands. On November 1, 1809, the Altenwied office was assigned to the Ehrenbreitstein administrative district as part of a reorganization of the administration . With regard to communal matters, the Altenwied office was subordinate to the Princely-Wied-Runkel government in Dierdorf .
After the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna (1815), the area was ceded to the Kingdom of Prussia and the Altenwied office was dissolved. Under the Prussian administration were 1816 from the Kirchspielen the Asbach and Windhagen Bürgermeisterei Asbach and from Parish Neustadt the Bürgermeisterei Altenwied formed the prior beautiful area of the circle Neuwied in Koblenz were assigned.
The parish of Neustadt originally belonged to the Archdiocese of Trier , during the Nassau government to the Trier Vicariate General of Limburg, which later became the Diocese of Limburg . In 1821 the parish of Neustadt was reassigned to the newly established diocese of Trier. The parishes of Asbach and Windhagen belonged to the Archdiocese of Cologne . The assignment of the localities to the dioceses of Trier and Cologne still exists today.
