 The most important two for Reichweiler were the County of Veldenz and the County of Blieskastel.After the partitions of 843 and 870 grouped the ecclesiastical territories of Reims and Verdun in the Westrich into the German Empire, secular lords in the neighbouring lands tried to take over the episcopal land.By sale and partition (Nahegau Count Emich V's two sons, Emich VI and Gerlach divided the Verdun fief and the "Remigiusland" between themselves between 1112 and 1146), the "Remigiusland" passed as a fief to Count Gerlach I of Veldenz.
