history
In a list commissioned by Elector Johann II of Baden in 1498, the office of Ulmen is mentioned as one of 59 offices in the Electorate of Trier.
At the end of the HRR, the office of elm consisted of Auderath , Brück , Filz , Hochpochen , Meiserich , Ulmen , Wagenhausen , Wollmerath and Hof Furth.
Ulmen and Meiserich were a condominium between Trier and the Count of Goldstein and the Baron von Wiltberg. The court there consisted of the (Trier) mayor, six lay judges and a clerk. Among the six lay judges there were a Goldstein and a Wiltberg court schultheiß, who thus exercised their co-jurisdiction. The other four lay judges and the clerk were named by Kurtrier. Auderath was subordinate to the Alflen court. Brück was geographically far removed from Ulmen and Cochem. A Trier mayor of his own officiated here. Kurtrier had little real estate there. The largest landowner was the Duke of Kerpen-Arenberg . This resulted in conflicts between the Trier and Arenberg officials, which led to legal proceedings. In Brück, too, Baron von Veyder asserted rights to patrimonial jurisdiction on his Wormerich farm that were not accepted by Kurtrier. Hochpochen paid the umbrella guilders to Ulmen and was otherwise subordinate to the Office of Cochem. In Filz, Wagenhausen and Wollmerath, Trier had sovereignty as a high counts Neuwied fiefdom. The lower jurisdiction, however, lay with the barons of Landenberg .
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 Coblence .
