Linzer Eintracht

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Linzer Eintracht (also Linzer Union ) was an alliance that was founded around 1472. The alliance included Linz , Unkel , Erpel , Honnef , Königswinter , Oberkassel , Leutesdorf , Ober- and Niederhammerstein as well as Hönningen and Remagen and Mehlem on the right bank of the Rhine . In addition, Nieder- and Oberdollendorf and other villages along the Rhine are said to have belonged to the alliance as founding members. The city of Linz was in charge of Eintracht, which is why it was their regular meeting place.

The content of the Linz Agreement included mutual aid if a location belonging to the alliance were to be attacked, mutual reimbursement of costs incurred through attacks, disaster relief (fires) and mutual recognition of court judgments . In the mid-1590s, the alliance was at its peak. After the Thirty Years War , the Linzer Eintracht dissolved without a formal resolution.
