 Undisputed, however, is that the donation, in whatever year it took place, went into effect very early on and the formerly kingly Imperial Domain passed into ecclesiastical ownership.The river Glan thereby became a border, with all the villages on the right bank, from Rehweiler to Altenglan still held by King Charlemagne (768-814).After the division of the Carolingian Empire in the 9th century, the Rutsweiler area became German domain, whereas the "Remigiusland" remained under ownership of the Bishopric of Verdun.
