history
From 1157 to 1577 the rule of Esch existed by the noble family Esch. It consisted of the places Esch, Sehlem, Dörbach, Salmrohr and Krames and the bailiffs in Dreis, Platten, Piesport and Neumagen and other goods and rights in more than 70 places on the Moselle and in the Hunsrück. After 1250, power was divided between Kurtrier and Esch. The Trier part became the Udenesch (Alten-Esch) office. In 1577 the noble Esch family died out in the male line. The childless widow of the last Escher gentleman sold the manor for 1,800 gold guilders to Kurtrier, with which the office reached its greatest extent.
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 Udenesch office there were 149 fire places in the following places:
| Locality | Fire pits |
|---|---|
| Esch | 8th |
| Sehlem | 18th |
| Salmrohr | 33 |
| New stomach | 43 |
| plates | 47 |
In 1684 the Udenesch office was incorporated into the Wittlich office and ceased to exist as an independent unit.
