history

Emperor Otto III. donated to the diocese of Trier under Bishop Eb. Theoderich von Trier 973 the Kyllwald at the end of which Manderscheid lies. During his almost six-year feud (1141–1147) against the Count of Luxembourg for the Trier Imperial Abbey of St. Maximin , Bishop Albero von Montreuil captured Manderscheid Castle in 1145 . In 1160 it finally became the property of Trier.

The core of the organization of the Archbishopric Trier in the High Middle Ages were these state castles . 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 . During Baldwin's tenure, the Manderscheid office was one of the 30 officially mentioned offices.

In the 15th century the office was pledged together with the Hillesheim office to Johann Hurt von Schönecken, called Dietrich Lontzen. Roben, Hermann Boos von Waldeck and Count Palatine Philipp and could only be redeemed in 1504.

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 Manderscheid office there were the following locations: Manderscheid , Bleckhausen , Forellenhof, Niederstadtfeld , Schutz , Hof Hahn, Mehren , Neunkirchen , Pützborn , Gillenfeld , Deudesfeld , Landscheid , Burg , Binsfeld , Hof Hütt, Hof Mulbach , Niederkail , Raskopp , Himmerod , Altenhof , Bergweiler , Arenrath , Minderlittgen , Plein , Gipperath , Niederöfflingen , Greimerath , Reitzenrath farm, Hasborn , Willwerscheid , Diefenbach , Niederscheidweiler .
