Wallerfangen County
The county of Wallerfangen (lat. Comitatus Walderfinga ) extended in the 10th century over what is now German, French and Luxembourgish areas. The county is named after the central town Wallerfangen on the central Saar .
The county of Wallerfangen appears by name in three private documents from the second half of the 10th century (962, 995 and 996). After the year 1000 the name went out of use. As counts are attested:
- Egilolf, 962–963 Count in the County of Wallerfangen with the Rizzigau
- Giselbert , 996 Count in the County of Wallerfangen with the Moselgau , † 1004, son of Count Siegfried I (Luxembourg)
A fortress of the counts can be assumed in the Düren Humburg .
