Vogteien Burbach and Neunkirchen

 

This page covers the two subdivisions of the Freier Grund condominium. The administrator of one (Vogtei Burbach) was appointed by the Nassuvian (Ottonian line) participant in the condominium, and the other (Vogtei Neunkirchen) was appointed by the Sayn-Wittgensteinian participant. Although I place both Vogteien in Jointly-Ruled Germany, I render the country names differently in each Vogtei to reflect the loyalty of the administrator. In 1799, the Sayn-Wittgensteinian line participating in the condominium died out and the Nassuvian Prince of Saarbrücken-Weilburg took his place, creating a personal union. Because both participants thereafter were Nassuvian (albeit from different branches), I move the entire condominium into Nassuvian Germany.
