The Dalberg Lordship describes two territorial units in the Old Kingdom , both of which derive their names from Dalberg Castle .

Dominion Dalberg - in the narrower sense

Dalberg Castle

Older Dalberger Hof in Mainz

Wallhausen (Nahe) with Wallhausen Castle

Herrnsheim Castle in Worms-Herrnsheim

Dalberghaus Mannheim, today part of the Mannheim City Library

Dalberger Hof , today: Aschaffenburg City Theater

Geographical location

The Dalberg lordship - in the narrower sense - was a territory immediately around Dalberg Castle. It was later also referred to as "Herrschaft Wallhausen". These included:

• Dalberg (village),
• the Dalberg Castle.
• Münchwald , a new establishment around 1700, sold to the Margrave of Baden for 16,000 guilders in 1789
• Sommerloch , pledged for 16,000 guilders in 1784, but the Dalbergers still owned land there in the 19th century.
• Spa bridges and
• Wallhausen ,

history

The area was originally Salian . In the 12th century it belonged to the Speyer Monastery and the Bishop of Speyer had given it as a fief to the Weyerbach family , who also called themselves the "Lords of Dalberg".

In the 14th century, Johann III. Chamberlain of Worms , who married into the family of the Lords of Dalberg through his first wife, Juliane, held 5% of the castle and half of the Dalberg estate. The family of the first Dalbergers died out in the 14th century. Johann XI. During this time, Kämmerer von Worms took possession of the entire castle and lordship and from then on added the addition "zu Dalberg" to his family name Kämmerer von Worms . In 1390 or 1400 the family had acquired sole ownership of the rule.

When the part of the German Empire on the left bank of the Rhine was finally dissolved after the Peace of Lunéville , the Dalberg rule - in the narrower sense - was added to the Département de Rhin-et-Moselle .

Dominion Dalberg - in the broader sense

Geographical location

Over time, the economically powerful von Dalberg family succeeded in acquiring an extensive but widely scattered property, which also included the Dalberg lordship, but which expanded far beyond that and was named after the Dalberg family - the lordship Dalberg in the broader sense. In the 19th century the administration of the property in Germany was in Aschaffenburg . The administration of the Bohemian goods was in Datschitz .

Components

The Dalberg rule in the broader sense included - sometimes only temporarily, as property was repeatedly sold, exchanged or acquired:

history

In the course of time the family acquired a considerable number of possessions, of a territorial nature, but also rights. This “territory” was small and fragmented, but it was an imperial direct rule of its own . It finally extended between Koblenz in the north, Neuweiler in the south, the Odenwald in the east and Landstuhl in the west and formally existed until the end of the Old Empire. The largest part was already lost with the French occupation of the left bank of the Rhine in 1793. The best known of the rights was the protection of Jews in the city of Worms. He referred to the protection of Jews when they left the ghetto, especially at weddings and funerals. Then the Dalbergs provided escorts. This was paid through a levy by the Jews and amounted to 80 Malter grain at the end of the 15th century .

During the Reformation , the von Dalberg family remained predominantly and ultimately permanently Roman Catholic and, according to the principle of cuius regio, eius religio , their subjects also had to follow them. A number of witch trials took place in the Dalberg reign at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries .

From 1513 there were court orders in individual lordships. In 1531 the Dalberg family received a Privilege de non appellando for their territory. In 1559, a Dalberg court order was introduced based on the model of the County of Leiningen-Hardenburg for the entire territory of the Dalberg dominion, a procedural order for the appeal body . The court court was established in Herrnsheim . In contrast to court courts in neighboring territories, such as the Electoral Palatinate or Kurmainz, the senior of the ruling family acted personally as court judge in the Dalberg lordship, which was certainly also due to the small size of the territory.

Police regulations were issued from 1615 onwards. In 1730, the Palatinate State Regulations were introduced as generally applicable law, but in 1752 the old Dalberg customary law was reinstated.

Remarks

1. ↑ The administration had since 1857 based in the Stiftgasse 9 in Aschaffenburg (Bisová: The Treasurer , S. 303 and Note. 53).
2. ^ According to Kraft: Ortverzeichnis , p. 3, the place belonged to the Electoral Palatinate.
3. ^ According to Kraft: Ortverzeichnis , p. 12, the place belonged to the Electoral Palatinate.
4. ^ According to Kraft: Ortverzeichnis , p. 14, the place belonged to the Electoral Palatinate.
5. ↑ See here (article in Wikipedia in Luxembourgish ); Bollinger, p. 49, on the other hand, mentions "Schauenburg" here.
6. ↑ The fact that a document from 1392 speaks of a “Jewish court” has inappropriately led to speculations about a corresponding judicial organ, for which, however, no other evidence has been handed down. Battenberg: The imperial knighthood rule , p. 167, assumes that the well-known protection of Jews held by the chamberlain of Worms is meant here.
