Office Cleeberg
The Cleeberg office was a Hesse-Darmstadt and Nassau office . The seat of the office was Cleeberg .
The noble family of the Counts of Cleeberg died out in the male line in 1219. The Cleeberg rule became inheritance of the lords of Nassau, Limburg, Eppstein and Westerburg. Later the Counts von Katzenelnbogen and the Counts von Solms also acquired shares. The Thirty Years War led to another change in ownership. Now Hessen-Darmstadt owned 2/3 of the rule and Nassau-Weilburg a third.
Since the beginning of modern times, the rule was led as Amt Cleeberg jointly owned by Hessen-Darmstadt and Nassau-Weilburg. In 1794 it consisted of Cleeberg, Brandoberndorf , Ebersgöns and Obercleen
In 1803 Nassau received the Hessian parts of the office as part of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss .
In 1810 the offices in the Duchy of Nassau were reorganized . Ebersgöns and Oberkleen were separated from the Cleeberg office and incorporated into the Atzbach office (Ebersgöns and Oberkleen came to Prussia in 1815 ). In return, the Wehrheim Office and the Kransberg Office were incorporated into the Cleeberg Office. The seat of the new Cleeberg office was moved to Usingen .
In March 1814 the Cleeberg and the Usingen were merged and now formed the Usingen.
