 Michael Frey claims in his description of the Bavarian Rhine District (bayerischer Rheinkreis) that the Counts of Veldenz had already been enfeoffed with the "Amt" of Nerzweiler by 1130, and thus right after the county had been founded.Frey, however, does not name a source, and his claim is thus unproven.According to a 1350 document, in which Nerzweiler had its first documentary mention, a lesser nobleman Endris genannt (“called”) Müller von Grumbach made it clear that Count Heinrich II of Veldenz had hired him as "Burgmann" for his Castle Lauterecken.
