history
In order to secure the power of the Electorate of Trier, construction of the Genoveva Castle began in 1280 . The castle was initially the seat of the Kurtrier burgraves and then the bailiffs.
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 Mayen office there were then 655 subjects in the following places:
