Herrschaft Breisig

 

This page covers Herrschaft Breisig on the west bank of the Rhein between Bonn and Coblenz. It spent time as a quasi-country and a condominium, but was never independent. Because it was not subdivided, I present the list of places contained therein on this page.

 

Imperial Abbacy of Essen (adm. Jülich)

(1) Date selected to coincide with the rest of the Abbacy of Essen

 

 

Condo. between Abbacy of Essen & Duchy of Jülich

 

• Simplified country name: Essen\Jülich
• Nation: Ecclesiastical Germany (2)
• Predecessor: Imperial Abbacy of Essen (adm. Jülich)
• Chronology
  • 1747: Created with Essen receiving 2/3 interest and Jülich receiving 1/3 interest

(2) I left Breisig in Ecclesiastical Germany rather than moving it to Jointly-Ruled Germany because of the disparity in shares in favor of Essen.
