Territory of the Electorate of Cologne Administered by Neuenahrian Entities
This page covers territories under the sovereignty of the Electorate of Cologne, but administered by Neuenahrian or Limburgian countries. (To provide a common starting date, that includes two quasi-countries that were terminated before the period covered by the database, the beginning of which in 1559 is driven by the Electorate, not the administering countries.) The quasi-countries with Neuenahrian administrators all terminated when the ruler of the Neuenahrian country died. Limburg-Broich, however, outlasted Cologne-Broich.
Information that only applies prior to the period covered by the database is shown in italics.
