 Then came a disagreement between the Counts of Salm-Salm (Hunoltstein), the Counts of Salm-Kyrburg and the Rhinegraves at Grumbach over who owned the two villages of Sankt Julian and Obereisenbach.The dispute was eventually settled in the Rhinegraves’ favour, but they were considered the overlords anyway.In the time of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era that followed, Sankt Julian belonged to the "Mairie" ("Mayoralty") of Offenbach, the Canton of Grumbach, the Arrondissement of Birkenfeld and the Department of Sarre.
