Other territories fully or partially under Jülich sovereignty or administration

Most subdivisions of the Duchy of Jülich were administered either by appointees of the duke or by noble families subject to him. The following subdivisions, however, were administered by other countries. while remaining under Jülich sovereignty:

 

• Herrlichkeit Burgau
  • Guelders subjects (1521-1713)
  • Guelders-Roermond subjects (1713-1794)
• Herrlichkeit Eicks
  • Blankenheim (1521-1794)
• Herrlichkeiten Etzweiler & Türnich
  • Essen (1521-1794)
• Herrlichkeiten Fischenich & Disternich
  • Electorate of Cologne subjects (1521-1794)
• Herrlichkeiten Güsten & Thum
  • Electorate of Trier (1521-1794)
• Herrschaft Adendorf
  • Leyen-Adendorf (1546-1659)
• Dingstühle Gimmigen & Kirchdaun
  • Schleiden (1565-1593)
  • Landskron (1641-1661)
• Herrlichkeit Kinzweiler
  • Waldeck-Eisenach (1639-1707)
  • Saxony-Hildberghausen (1707-1747)
• Amt Schönforst
  • Kornelimünster (1650-1674)
• Herrschaft Gelsdorf
  • Schleiden (1688-1737)
• Herrlichkeit Kettenheim
  • Leyen-Hohengeroldseck (1757-1794)

 

As the simplified country name for each, I use “Jülich” followed by the administering entity’s name (or the last part thereof). Thus, in 1700, Herrlichkeit-Güsten was in Jülich-Trier and Herrlichkeit Kinzweiler was in Jülich-Eisenach. In a few cases, the administering entity is not another country, but the subject of another country. In those cases, I use “Jülich” followed by the country to which the administering entity is subject; e.g., in 1700, Burgau was in Jülich-Guelders. Note that when the administering entity is subject to the Electorate of Cologne, I use “Bonn” (where the Archbishop had his administrative seat) in the country name rather than “Cologne” (which is reserved for the imperial city).

 

Gericht Grimlinghausen was a condominium between Jülich and the Electorate of Cologne. As a simplified name, I use “Jülich\Bonn”. The “\” signals that administration was shared.

 

Finally, Herrschaft Breisig was under Essen sovereignty until 1747, but was administered by Jülich. During that period, I use Essen-Jülich as the simplified country name. After 1747, it became a pure condominium and I use Essen\Jülich as the simplified name.
