Lordship of Königsfeld

 

This page covers the geographic country of Königsfeld and the lineage-based country of Bassenheim-Ollbrück/ Bornheim-Königsfeld (extinct in 1763). Unlike other lineage-based countries in Bassenheimian Germany, this one is firmly linked to one, and only one, geographic country, making a separate page redundant.

(1) I treat the acquisition and spinning off of Königsfeld by Bassenheim-Ollbrück as occurring simultaneously. The Ollbrück branch changed its name to Bornheim in 1629.
