history
The core of the Electorate of Trier in the area was the Reichsburg Cochem . Cochem Castle was pledged to the Archbishop of Trier Bohemond I von Warnesberg in 1294 by King Adolf von Nassau Castle and City of Cochem, together with a surrounding area that included fifty towns . Adolf's successor Albrecht I could not redeem the pledge. This office, connected with the lucrative Moselle toll and the jurisdiction , was confirmed as hereditary by the king in 1298. In 1328 the Archbishop of Trier Baldwin of Luxembourg had to pledge the castle to Countess Loretta von Sponheim , but was able to redeem it a year later.
In a list commissioned by Elector Johann II of Baden in 1498, the office of Cochem is mentioned as one of 59 offices in the Electorate of Trier.
At the end of the HRR , the office consisted of Alflen , Bertrich , Beuren , Clotten , Cochem , Cond , Dohr , Driesch , Ellenz , Enders Mühlen , Ernst , Faid , Fankel , Georgweiler , Gevenich , Gillenbeuren , Greimersburg , Hambuch , Illerich , Kaye, Kayfenheim , Kenfus , Kliding , Landkern , Lech (Hof) , Lutzerath , Mesenich , Nehren , Poltersdorf , Pommeren , Prachtendorf , Priden , Pruttig , Schmitt , Strotzbüsch , Sehl , Urschmitt , Valwig , Wagenhausen , Weiler , Wirfus , Wolmerath and Zeltingen . In addition there was the office of elms and its places.
It had an area of 256.77 km² and 8278 inhabitants.
With the capture of the Left Bank of the Rhine by French revolutionary troops , the office was dissolved after 1794. In the French era , the area belonged to the Arrondissement de Coblence .
