Strict judgment
The Strimmiger court , also Vogtei Strimmig , was a condominium that was part of the "Dreiherrischen area on the Hunsrück" and existed until 1780. It was a high court and was last under the joint rule of Kurtrier , the Duke of Pfalz-Zweibrücken (this until 1776 in community with the Margrave of Baden , both as Count of Sponheim ) and the baron, later Count of Metternich-Winneburg-Beilstein .
The administrative district reached from the northeastern Moselhunsrück to the Moselle and was located in what is now the district of Cochem-Zell in Rhineland-Palatinate .

history
Conditions in the Strimmig court were similar to those in the Beltheim court, which was also part of the tri-lordly area . Strimmig had a "feudal lord", the Elector of Trier , and two "Vogtherren", the Count of Sponheim and the Count of Metternich-Winneburg (as heirs to the Lords of Braunshorn ). The latter also had the office of “Vordingers” of the court, i. H. first or presiding judge, and the “container” of the court, d. that is, he had to keep a prisoner in custody until the next court day.
The court had 14 lay judges , a Trier mayor and two bailiffs as representatives of the bailiffs . The main and court place was Mittelstrimmig.
The ownership structure was the same as at the Beltheim court, the elector of Trier received half, Winneburg and Sponheim each a quarter of the court income.
On December 15, 1780, the tri-lordly area was divided. In addition to various locations from the previous Beltheim court, Count von Metternich-Winneburg-Beilstein received the entire Strimmiger court.
After the Left Bank of the Rhine was taken by French revolutionary troops (1794), the area became part of France , and then became part of the Kingdom of Prussia based on the agreements reached at the Congress of Vienna (1815) . Today the four villages belong to the Rhineland-Palatinate district of Cochem-Zell .
