 That Osterna and Ohmbach were later still counted as part of the "Remigiusland" may have owed itself to further historical development.In 1127, Count Gerlach I from the Nahegau founded the County of Veldenz and became "Schutzvogt" (a lay church official charged with looking after church properties) over various ecclesiastical lordly domains of Mainz, Worms, Verdun and Reims.The result was that the "Remigiusland" around Kusel and the domains held by the Archbishopric of Mainz in the Ostertal (valley) and on the Ohmbach (river), which lay right next to it, were jointly administered.
