Lordship of Kempenich
The rule Kempenich was initially a territory of noble family Kempenich and then a kurtrierscher administrative and judicial district based in Kempenich .
Since 1277 the rule of Kempenich was an Electorate of Trier fiefdom. In 1424 the extinction of the von Kempenich family led to armed conflicts over the inheritance. Peter von Schöneck was married to the heir's daughter and claimed the castle and lordship as an inheritance against Kurtrier. After various pledges, Kempenich came into the possession of Anton von Eltz , a nephew of the Archbishop of Trier, Johann Jakob von Eltz , in 1581 . When Hans Jacob, Anton's son, the oldest line of those at Eltz of the golden lion died out, Kempenich came to Johann Jakob Schenk von Schmittburg . His daughter, Maria Antoinetta Juliana, gave the pledge to Kempenich in 1663 to her husband, Hans Jacob zu Eltz, who founded the line to Eltz-Kempenich. The Trier court chamber canceled the pledge in 1776. The Kempenich dominion became an Electoral Trier office that was subordinate to the Mayen Upper Office .
The core of the office was Kempenich Castle . At the end of the HRR, it also consisted of the places Blasweiler , Engelen , Hausten , Kirchesch , Leimbach , Lederbach , Kempenich, Spessart and Waberen .
In 1794 the Left Bank of the Rhine was occupied by the French and later annexed. The Kempenich rule ended and became part of the canton of Wehr in the Arrondissement of Bonn .
