Niederbronn Office
The Niederbronn office , also: Reichshofen office , was an office of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt .
history
After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , in 1736 the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , Landgrave Ludwig (IX.) of Hesse-Darmstadt. The office was formed at a later point in time by hiving off localities from other offices in the former county of Hanau-Lichtenberg and other villages.
Even before that, France's reunification policy had brought the area under French sovereignty since King Louis XIV . With the upheaval started by the French Revolution , the office became part of France and dissolved in the subsequent administrative reforms.
