history

In 1384 the Archbishop of Trier acquired the rights to Schönecken Castle from King Wenzel for 30,000 guilders, subject to repurchase. In 1442 King Friedrich renounced the right of repurchase. In a list commissioned by Elector Johann II of Baden in 1498, the office Schönecken is mentioned as one of the 59 offices in Trier. It included the hamlet of Schönecken, the Dingdorf , Plütscheid and Weinsheim dairies , the Langenfeld dairy and the farms (administrative units) Pronsfeld and Eilscheid .

In 1784 the office consisted of the following localities:

In addition there was the Pronsfeld court (also known as the Pronsfeld office ). It consisted of Pronsfeld, Euscheid , Kinzenburg , Lichtenborn , Lierfeld , Lünebach , Masthorn , Matzerath , Ober- and Niederhabscheid , Oberüttfeld , Pittenbach , Stalbach , Strickscheid , Watzerath and Hollnich . The Pronsfeld court was a condominium between the Electorate of Trier and the Duchy of Luxembourg , so that every sovereign exercised command and prohibition separately over his subjects.

In the 18th century the office was subordinate to the regional office of Prüm . With the capture of the Left Bank of the Rhine by French revolutionary troops , the office was dissolved after 1794. In the French era , the area belonged to the Arrondissement de Prüm in the Département de la Sarre . As a result of the Congress of Vienna , the official territory came to Prussia in 1815 . The district of Prüm was formed from the arrondissement of Prüm .
