Pfalz-Veldenz was a principality of the Holy Roman Empire , which was split off from Pfalz-Zweibrücken in 1543 in the Marburg Treaty . In addition to the eponymous office Veldenz on the Moselle , the initial equipment included properties in the Glantal. In 1559/66 half of the Guttenberg lordship and the Lützelstein county in the northern Vosges were added from the Palatinate inheritance . In 1694 the line expired and after 40 years of dispute in 1733 the possessions were contractually divided between the Palatinate, Palatinate-Sulzbach and Palatinate-Birkenfeld .
history
In 1543 it was regulated by the Marburg Treaty that the uncle and guardian Palatine Wolfgangs von Zweibrücken , Ruprecht , should have his own territory for himself and his descendants. Ruprecht died in the following year, 1544; his son Georg Hans took office when he came of age. Its territory included the namesake office Veldenz, the offices of Lauterecken , the Jettenbach court and the provost office Remigiusberg near Kusel , where the hereditary burial of the Count Palatinate of Pfalz-Veldenz is located.
In 1553, Wolfgang achieved in the Heidelberg succession treaty, which regulated the mutual inheritance claims of all Wittelsbach lines, that Pfalz-Veldenz was expanded to include the county of Lützelstein , half of Guttenberg and two thirds of Alsenz .
Palatinate-Veldenz, like all the Wittelsbach-Palatinate branch lines, was not part of the Kurrheinische Reichskreis (where the Heidelberg electors had a seat and vote), but to the Upper Rhine Empire.
The Pfalz-Veldenz line went out in 1694; After a long dispute between the heirs, the territory was contractually divided between the other Palatinate lines in 1733. The former possessions are now in Rhineland-Palatinate and in the two French departments of Moselle and Bas-Rhin .
