history
The core of the organization of the Archbishopric Trier in the High Middle Ages were the state castles , including Grimburg Castle . They secured the power of the archbishopric and were directed by burgraves . In the 14th century an organization of offices was established. Elector Baldwin of Luxembourg formed an administrative office based on the French model. At the head of the offices there was now a bailiff . This formation of offices was not a single act, but was carried out in a multitude of individual steps, taking into account the local characteristics. As the third oldest office of Kurtrier, the Grimburg office was first mentioned in a document in 1328.
Until 1748, the Eberswald dominion , which consisted of the villages of Sötern , Schwarzenbach , Braunshausen and Otzenhausen, was a condominium between Kurtrier and the Lords of Dürkheim zu Soetern. In 1748 the community was dissolved by real division: Trier renounced all rights to Soetern and Schwarzenbach and was given unrestricted ownership of Braunshausen and Otzenhausen. These two places were assigned to the Grimburg Office and the Reinsfeld Care.
With the capture of the Left Bank of the Rhine by French revolutionary troops , the office was dissolved after 1794. In the French times the area belonged to the canton Hermeskeil .
