history
Lenningen farm
The Trier cathedral chapter was the landlord of the former Lenningen court. The villages of Beyren, Ehnen, Gostingen, Greiweldingen, Kanach, Lenningen and several bailiwicks in Wormeldingen belonged to the Lenningen farm at that time. Administration and jurisdiction were in the hands of a mayor and eleven lay judges. For many years, the Wellenstein family, who resided in Ehnen, provided the mayor at Hof Lenningen. The Wellenstein family had its origins in Bech-Kleinmacher. Engelbert Wellenstein is probably the builder of the so-called Wellenstein House in Ehnen. He was also the high court lay judge of the Grevenmacher district judge . His son Johann Wilhelm Wellenstein (* 1661; † January 5, 1736 in Ehnen) was mayor of the Trier cathedral chapter for the courts of Lenningen (L) and Wawern (D). He was married to a Margaretha de Loen. There is a Scheffenweise of the Hof Lenningen from May 23, 1485, then a homage, a renewal of the wisdom, as well as a determination of the weights and measures on July 5, 1663. At that time a Peter Greiffeldingen from Ehenen (= Ehnen) was mayor. Mathias Lose, Johannes Beckius, Peter Brick, Hilgert Greiffeldingen are also mentioned from the village of Ehnen. After Peter Greiffeldingen, Johann Wilhelm Wellenstein followed and his son Nikolaus Wellenstein (called Beau Soleil), who was mayor of several farms, followed. These were the farms Lenningen, Wawern, Perl, Mandern and Faha, each with the villages and bailiwicks that belonged to these farms at that time. According to Jahrgeding from the year 1751, several villages with their "Gehöber" belonged to the Lenningen farm, namely Kanach 66; Beuren (Beyren) 17; Gostingen 37; Greiweldingen 38; Lenningen 31; from today's municipality of Wormeldingen, but at that time belonging to Hof Lenningen, Ehnen 85 and Wormeldingen 6.
Before the Thirty Years War, Lenningen and Canach belonged to the Grevenmacher district judge.
Before the Thirty Years' War the village of Lenningen had 24 households, in 1656 there was only the mayor and the village pastor. However, the mayor did not have any personal property in the village of Lenningen, he is only managed there as a leaseholder of the property belonging to the Trier cathedral chapter. He had 4 horses and 7 horned cattle in the village of Lenningen and paid 35 pattagons to Diedenhofen for himself (à son particulier). The community of Lenningen had a community forest of approximately 50 acres and a debt of 600 guilders.
