Gimborn-Neustadt was a national glory belonging to the Lower Rhine-Westphalia Kreits in the Holy Roman Empire. Slot Gimborn
Gimborn (near Marienheide) is a castle and Neustadt (Bergneustadt) is a town. Both are located in the district of Oberbergischer Kreis in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
It is not known what time the former water castle dates, where the gentlemen of Gimborn resided. In 1237 the castle was torn by Count Adolf van Berg to Count Engelbert of the Mark and in the fifteenth century she is borrowed from St. Gereon in Cologne. The castle eventually forms part of the county of Mark, which has been connected with the keynote estate Brandenburg since 1614. After the extinction of the Gimborn family, the Kruwell families, Burtscheid, Nesselrode, Quade (Quadt) and Harff families follow.
By the marriage of Anna van Harff in 1550 with Freelance Willem van Schwarzenberg, the glory comes in that family. The area is called Schwarzenberger Land until this time. Due to the merits of the army leader Willem van Schwarzenberg in the war against the Turks, the family is elevated in 1599 in the state grave state. Adam van Schwarzenberg, diplomat in charge of the Brandenburg keynote winner, at his own expense, defends the villages Gummersbach, Strombach, Obergelpe, Rospe, Bernberg, Kalsbach and Müllenbach. The keynote of Brandenburg then pronounced as a Count of Mark that these villages now fall under the jurisdiction of Gimborn. In 1621 the keurvorst expanded the area with the villages Ründeroth, Lieberhausen and Wiedenest with Neustadt (Bergneustadt). In 1630 the keurvorst left the authority over the villages and in 1631 the Emperor conquered the Count with the villages, making the area free of government. Then there is a counterformation.
In the Thirty Years Earl, Adam loses the trust of the keurvorst because of his pro Austrian attitude, and he ends his life in 1641 as a prisoner in Spandau. His son Johan Adolf flew to Vienna and let the glory run by tyrannical officials. In 1670 the family became a state of the art.
In 1782, the Count of Schwarzenberg sells the glory to the British and Hannovian General Johan Louis, Count of Wallmoden, an illegitimate son of King George II of Great Britain. This is then elevated by the emperor in 1783 to the national court of Wallmoden-Gimborn.
In the Rhine Branch Act of July 12, 1806, the glory of Gimborn-Neustadt is set under Article 24 under the sovereignty of the Grand Duchy of Berg: the mediaization. The Vienna Congress allocates the Grand Duchess of Mountain with the glory of Gimborn-Neustadt to the kingdom of Prussia.
