Sinnersdorf, Langel & Grimlinghausen condominia

 

This page covers three condominia involving the Electorate of Cologne and neighboring secular duchies. These condominia were unique in that they did not divide rights into shares but rather gave each participant a specific type of right; i.e., the Electorate got criminal jurisdiction and the secular duchy got civil jurisdiction.
