Salm-Salm
Salm-Salm is a German noble family and forms one of the numerous lines of the counts and later princes of Salm .
history
The rule of Obersalm was in the Vosges around Salm Castle in La Broque near Schirmeck . The line Obersalm the house Salm died out in the 15th century, one half of the estate went to the 1475 game and Rhinegrave to Dhaun and Kyrburg , which now also to Count Salm called.
In 1623 Count Philipp Otto zu Salm , Wild and Rheingraf, was raised to the hereditary imperial prince status. The line was based in Badonviller (previously the Pierre-Percée Castle there ). The inheritance of the princely line passed through the marriage of the heiress Dorothée in 1719 to the Flemish branch line, the descendants of Karl Florentin (1638–1676), who had married the Duchy of Hoogstraten near Antwerp in 1657. In the Peace of Vienna (1738) , the cession of Badonviller and Fénétrange to Lorraine was agreed, in 1739 the line was also granted the imperial princehood and in 1751 the Principality of Salm-Salm ( Principauté Salm-Salm ) was formed. The residence was the Senones Castle in the Vosges , built in 1754 by Prince Nikolaus Leopold zu Salm-Salm . After the Duchy of Lorraine passed to France in 1766, the principality formed an exclave of the Holy Roman Empire in France. After the French Revolution, it was annexed by France in 1791.
The princes of Salm-Salm then moved their residence to Anholt Castle in Westphalia, which they and the Anholt lordship had owned since 1647 as a result of inheritance. This rule was elevated to the Principality of Salm in 1802 with the addition of the former prince-bishop's offices in Bocholt and Ahaus as well as the rule of Gemen , which formed a state in the far west of Westphalia until February 28, 1811 (100 months) and was under the joint rule of the Princely House of Salm-Salm and the Princely House of Salm-Kyrburg (also expropriated from France) (as a condominium ). Its national territory coincided roughly with today's Borken district (Westmünsterland), the joint government was based in Bocholt , while the castles Anholt (Salm-Salm) and Ahaus (until 1829 owned by Salm-Kyrburg) were residences . The independent territory was dissolved by Napoleon and annexed by France. It was no longer to be restored, because efforts to restore it at the Congress of Vienna failed; the small principality was assigned to Prussia and was henceforth part of the Prussian province of Westphalia .
The princely main line is still based at Anholt Castle and, since 1860, at Rhede Castle , side branches inhabit and manage the Haus Loburg estate, which was acquired in 1912, and the Wallhausen Castle and Winery, which was inherited in 1940 (near Bad Kreuznach) .
