history
In 1488 the older, dynastic line of the bailiffs of Hunolstein died out in the male line and Kurtrier took their property as a fief that had fallen home. This property formed the Hunolstein office.
Archbishop Johann VI. (1556–1567) ordered a four-year land tax on November 26, 1556 with the consent of the state estates in Koblenz. The tax amounted to 3.5 guilders per 1000 guilders of wealth. On July 20, 1563, he requested reports from all offices that should provide information about the places and the taxpayers there. In the Hunolstein office there were 187 fireplaces in the following places:
