County of Holzappel-Schaumburg

 

This pages covers the territory of Holzappel and Schaumburg during the period when they were combined into a single country. Note that in the historical record between 1727 and 1806, the combined country was part of a larger complex that called itself the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym. That name never appears in the database. Instead, I represent it as one sovereign country, one nonsovereign country, and two quasi-countries (none of whose names appear in the historical record) as follows:

 

• Holzappel-Schaumburg-Hoym (sovereign country in Ascanian Germany)
• Anhalt-Hoym (nonsovereign spinoff of Bernburg in Ascanian Germany)
• Saxony-Hoym (quasi-country in Wettinian Germany)
• Magdeburg-Hoym (quasi-country in the Kingdom of Prussia)

(1) Technically, Schaumburg was listed first because it was a principality, which outranked a county. However, I reverse to order to avoid confusion with countries in Schaumburgian Germany, with which the Principality was not associated.
