Valendar rule in the county of Sayn

The rule of Valendar was part of the County of Sayn . With the death of Count Gottfried I (1266–1284), an inheritance was divided in 1294: Johann II inherited the County of Sayn and established the line of the Counts of Sayn-Sayn; his brother Engelbert I. inherited the rule of Vallendar and from his maternal inheritance Homburg and founded the line of the Counts of Sayn-Homburg who later called themselves Sayn-Wittgenstein . In 1363, Count Salentin zu Sayn-Wittgenstein pledged the rule to Kurtrier .

Kurtriersches Amt

In Kurtrier, the office was administered together with the Sayn office , the Herschbach office and the Grenzau office by senior officials who did not have their headquarters on site. From 1723, therefore, legally trained administrators were active as representatives of the mostly absent officials on site.

The office included the places Höhr , Hillscheid , Mallendar , Mallerberg , Vallendar , Weitersburg and the parishes of Breitenau , Heimbach , Rauert and Ransbach .

Nassau

With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the office came to Nassau-Weilburg in 1803 . From 1806 it was part of the Duchy of Nassau and assigned to the administrative district of Ehrenbreitstein . In 1816, after the Congress of Vienna, an area was swapped and the office became part of Prussia . It went on in the Koblenz district .
