The Amt Weiden (also Herrschaft Wartenstein ) was an administrative and judicial district that existed from the 14th century to the end of the 18th century . The sovereignty of the Electorate of Trier was last disputed.
history
In 1359 Wartenstein Castle became a triersches fief . When Ludwig von Schwarzenberg died in 1583, the Kurtrier castle and office moved in as a settled fief. However, Johann von Warsberg, who had married Ursula, Ludwig von Schwarzenberg's heir, demanded that he be enfeoffed with office and castle, as the original fief agreement also provided for inheritance in the case of extinction in the male line. On May 4, 1585, Johann von Schönenberg gave this loan . Kurtrier retained the sovereignty, i.e. the right to pay homage, the right to open, the military sovereignty, the travel agent and the appraisal (property tax).
Königsau , at that time only a farm and a mill, and Niederhosenbach were given by Trier Thielmann von der Stein as a fiefdom in 1355. These places also came to the Warsberg family through inheritance . In addition to the castle, the Wartenstein rule also included the villages of Weiden , Herborn , Hahnenbach, Königsau and Niederhosenbach.
In the 18th century, the barons of Warsberg rejected the suzerainty of Fulda and viewed Königsau and Niederhosenbach as an allod . In 1745 the Trier Elector paid homage there for the last time, and taxation for the ore monastery was also no longer carried out. However, Trier law continued to apply and the higher courts in Trier were also used to appeal. The background to the conflict was also that the Trier monastery was a Catholic denomination, while the residents of the office belonged to the Augsburg denomination .
In the 18th century the office was subordinate to the Oberamt Bernkastel . 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 Simmern .
