 In 1446, the former Veldenz territory was confirmed for the two brothers by the new Elector Palatine, Ludwig.Cropping up in this confirmation document, issued on 27 July 1446 in Alzey, for the very last time is a reference to the "Amt" of Nerzweiler.It is not known when, but sometime thereafter, the "Amt" seat was moved to Hundheim, and then the entity was always called in documents the "Hundheimer Pflege" ("Pflege" literally means “care”, but it was actually a local geopolitical unit).
