from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pays réservé, wedged between Nassau and the departments on the left bank of the Rhine, is marked with GK

The Pays réservé de Catzenellenbogen was a territory that was formed in 1806 in connection with the formation of the Rhine Confederation by Emperor Napoleon from parts of the Niedergrafschaft Katzenelnbogen on the right bank of the Rhine . The annexed area was previously under the sovereignty of the Landgraves of Hessen-Kassel and has been ruled as a partially independent territory by their branch line Hessen-Rotenburg since the 17th century . The French administration of the area ended in 1813. The territory comprised parts of today's districts Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis in Hesse and Rhein-Lahn-Kreis in Rhineland-Palatinate .

history

In 1806, the Niedergrafschaft Katzenelnbogen only consisted of the part on the right bank of the Rhine, which was under the sovereignty of Hessen-Kassel and the co-rulership of Hessen-Rotenburg . The area on the left bank of the Lower Counties was occupied in the First Coalition War in 1794 and was assigned to the French Rhine-Moselle department from 1798 to 1814 . When the French advanced on the Rhine, the central Hessian authorities of the Lower Counties were relocated from Sankt Goar to Langenschwalbach . The Hesse-Darmstadt urban parts of the low county was in 1803 in Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of Nassau-Usingen ceded Service.

Napoleon wanted to be able to dispose of the territory freely at any time, had it militarily occupied on November 20, 1806 and sovereignly administered by the Imperial Prefectural Council Balthasar Pietsch in Langenschwalbach . The Landgrave of Hessen-Rotenburg only had the use of his allodial possessions, for which he had to pay taxes like all citizens. Pietsch left a lot of things with a sense of proportion in administration and administration of justice. As an innovation, however, he introduced progressive school regulations.

The special status of the Pays Réservé ended on November 1, 1813 with the withdrawal of Napoleonic troops from the areas on the right bank of the Rhine. On November 6, 1813, the administration in the previous Pays Réservé was assigned to the Generalgouvernement of Frankfurt as a provisional interim administration. As early as December 2, 1813, Elector Wilhelm I of Hesse regained his rights through a treaty with Austria and its allies.

After the Congress of Vienna (1815), the area initially remained with Hesse. In a contract dated May 31, 1815, Prussia declared to Nassau that if a planned exchange of territory between Hesse and Prussia came about, it would then cede this area to the Duchy of Nassau . On October 16, 1815, it was ceded to the Kingdom of Prussia and on October 17, 1816, the Duchy of Nassau took possession of it .
