 Also important is the mention of both villages in a 1364 document from the Counts of Veldenz as "Albin" and "Minewijlre".At that time, Heinrich of Veldenz, who later became Count Heinrich III of Veldenz, lived together with his young wife Lauretta of Sponheim at Lichtenberg Castle.All villages that then belonged to the Veldenz "Amt" of Altenglan-Brücken had to pay tribute to this young comital couple.
