Herrschaft Spiegelberg

This page covers Herrschaft Spiegelberg, which is essentially what had been the sovereign County of Spiegelberg prior to 1494 when its count inherited Pyrmont. Between 1494 and 1625, the Herrschaft served as a legitimate subdivision of the County of Spiegelberg-Pyrmont. The place list below reflects that period. Thereafter, the County of Spiegelberg was an unsubdivided country in personal union with either Gleichenian or Nassuvian entities. After 1625, the Herrschaft does not appear in the full place name of villages in the Herrschaft. the place list for that period is not explicitly shown below, but is identical to the one shown except for the dates.
