history

Lichtenberg

Around 1330 there was a first division of the country between Johann II. Von Lichtenberg , from the older line of the House of Lichtenberg , and Ludwig III. from Lichtenberg . This division of the country was the occasion for a new internal organization of the Lichtenberg rule, in which, among other things, the Willstätt office was created. It essentially summarized the rulership on the right bank of the Rhine that fell to the older line. The places on the right bank of the Rhine, which - after a second division of the country in 1335 - ultimately remained with the younger line of the House of Lichtenberg, were combined in the Amt Lichtenau .

Hanau-Lichtenberg

Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), one of two heir daughters and daughter of Ludwig V. von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474) married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417; † 1480) in 1458 who had received a small secondary school from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to marry her. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage. After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Anna, Philipp I. d. Ä. In 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule , the other half went to his brother-in-law, Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Willstätt office became a condominium in which the two rulers shared property and power.

Under the government of Count Philip III. from Hanau-Lichtenberg there was then a real division: Willstätt came completely to Hanau-Lichtenberg. In contrast, the Brumath office , which also came from the Lichtenberg inheritance and was a condominium between the two houses, went entirely to Zweibrücken-Bitsch.

Hessen-Darmstadt

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, the inheritance - and with it the office of Willstätt - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte von Hanau-Lichtenberg , Landgrave Ludwig (IX) of Hesse-Darmstadt . With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the office was assigned to the newly formed Electorate of Baden in 1803 . The new rule of Elector Karl Friedrich von Baden also established a new administrative structure.
