history
The area of the Nassau office of Friedewald was part of the County of Sayn-Altenkirchen until the beginning of the 19th century . After the Peace of Lunéville (1801) and the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss (1803), the area was assigned to the Principality of Nassau-Usingen . The name "Friedewald" existed here as early as the Saynian period and was taken over from the Saynian period and is derived from the town of Friedewald, which was elevated to a town in the 14th century .
The accession of the Prince of Nassau-Usingen to the Rhine Confederation (1806) had no direct impact on the area of the Friedewald office, now part of the Duchy of Nassau . Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna (1815), the area was ceded to the Kingdom of Prussia and the Friedewald office was dissolved. Under the Prussian administration in 1816 from the places of the Kirchspiels Daaden the Bürgermeisterei Daaden formed the Altenkirchen in Koblenz has been assigned.
