 This high court was further divided into smaller court districts, among which was the "Vierherrengericht" ("Four-Lord Court"), whose seat was in Sankt Julian.In 1424, the Waldgraves and Rhinegraves enfeoffed a Count Johann vom Steine with the village, while a Hugelin vom Steine (perhaps Count Johann’s brother) had already been enfeoffed with the neighbouring village of Obereisenbach (now a constituent community of Sankt Julian) and with a mill at Sankt Julian itself.Eschenau lay in the Nahegau, and was likely founded only in the 11th or 12th century.
