Grenzau office
The Grenzau office was an administrative and judicial district with its seat in Grenzau, which existed from the 13th century to 1816 . It initially belonged to the county of Nieder-Isenburg , then to the Electorate of Trier , Nassau-Weilburg and finally to the Duchy of Nassau .
history
The core of the office was Grenzau Castle . In 1346 Archbishop Balduin von Trier captured the castle in the Grenzau feud . Philip I of Isenburg had to recognize Kurtrier's feudal rule in 1347 despite his victory at Gumschlag over the Koblenz vigilante. In 1460 Gerlach II received the castle from Kurtrier back as a fief. After the death of Count Ernst von Isenburg-Grenzau , the office fell back to Kurtrier as a settled fiefdom.
At the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the Grenzau office consisted of the parishes of Ransbach, Nauort and Breitenau and the following locations:
