Life

Philipp Dietrich received Kinzweiler , Engeldorf , Frechen and Bachem in the Eifel from his mother's inheritance claim . He made various trips to France and Italy and was in the Dutch military for a while.

In 1639 Count Florence von Pallandt , the owner of the dominions of Culemborg, Werth, Wittem and Pallant, died. Philipp Dietrich inherited these properties through his mother. In 1640 he also took control of the county of Waldeck-Eisenberg. He resided partly at Eisenberg Castle , partly in Cuylenburg. Lengthy legal disputes arose over parts of the possessions in the Eifel.
