List of communities in the Principality of Lichtenberg
The list of communities in the Principality of Lichtenberg names all communities in the former Principality of Lichtenberg, broken down according to their administrative affiliation. The structure existed from 1817 to 1834.
Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 , the Duke of Saxony-Coburg-Saalfeld was awarded "an area with 20,000 inhabitants" from the previous Saar department . On September 11, 1816 the formal occupation took place. On January 11, 1817 the Herzogl issued . Saxon State Commission for St. Wendel issued an ordinance according to which the territory called "Herrschaft Baumholder" at the time was divided into three cantons and 15 mayor's offices. The cantonal districts were also district courts of justice . By decree of the Duke of March 6, 1819, the area was renamed the Principality of Lichtenberg . In order to “reduce local administration costs”, the number of mayor's offices was reduced to seven in 1823 and the communities distributed accordingly. The city district of St. Wendel was now administered by a lord mayor's office. In 1834 the principality was sold to Prussia and the St. Wendel district was formed, which was incorporated into the Trier administrative district in the Rhine province . The cantons were dissolved, the number of mayorships and their administrative districts remained essentially unchanged under the Prussian administration, but on January 1, 1836, a separate mayor's office based in Oberkirchen was restored for the locations of the mayorries of Namborn and Oberkirchen, which were repealed in 1823, which also included the Municipality of Urweiler was assigned from the mayor's office of Sankt Wendel.
