Wehrheim condominium

 

This page covers the territory of the Wehrheim condominium, located south of Usingen. It was founded in 1564 as condominium between the Electorate of Trier and Nassau-Weilburg (shifting to Ottonian Nassuvian entities in 1607). It was never a coherent country, but it warrants country-level treatment to capture the different participants in the condominium over time.

 

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. The countries listed on this page were all unique to Wehrheim. Thus, Amt Wehrheim was the only subdivision of any of them.

 

Index of simplified country names with which the Wehrheim condominium was associated (earliest to latest)

 

• Trier\Saarbrücken (external)
• Trier\Dillenburg-Beilstein
• Trier\Dillenburg-Dillenburg
• Trier\Orange-Nassau (external)

 

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.

Navigation hints:

• 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.
