Hasselbach & Eisenbach condominia
This page covers the territory of the Hasselbach and Eisenbach condominia, both of which consist of single villages adjacent to the Camberg condominium. Both were founded in 1427 as condominia between the Electorate of Trier and Nassau-Weilburg, but with different share splits (75\25 for Hasselbach, 50\50 for Eisenbach). Neither was ever a coherent country, but they warrant country-level treatment to capture the different participants in the condominia over time. Both lasted until the end of the Electorate of Trier was secularized.
To keep the country names from becoming too unwieldy, I drop terms that I think are expendable. The dropped terms are rendered in gray for the first country in which they appear, but usually omitted altogether in later countries.
Index of simplified country names associated with the Hasselbach or Eisenbach condominia (earliest to latest)
- Trier\Saarbrücken (shared)
- Trier\Saarbrücken-Idstein
- Trier\Saarbrücken-Saarbrücken
- Trier\Saarbrücken-Ottweiler
- Trier\Saarbrücken-Usingen (shared)
Simplified country names identified as “external” or “shared” also apply to other condominia. Rather than duplicate the information on multiple pages, the information for the country combination is provided only on the page where it is identified as “shared”. On condominium pages that do not contain the information, the name is identified in the index as “external” and the link leads to the page where the information is “shared”. When you click on an “external” link, you can use the back arrow to return to the original page. Alternatively, you can use the links in the “Predecessor” or “Successor” sections of the combination you are looking at to go to the pages of the combinations that preceded or succeeded it.

- Each simplified country name listed in the Index is linked to one of the country combinations that made up the condominium at some point in time. Once you reach the selected combinations, however, the listed simplified country name contains separate links to each of the participating countries mentioned in the name. There are even links to participants that, for space reasons, are not mentioned in the simplified name. Those are in gray.
