Other villages, which today are considered to be too small to form villages of their own were independent imperial territories. The district showed the fundamental problem of the whole empire: A strong influence of foreign rulers and micro-sized territories. After the Napoleonic wars the area went to <a href="/wiki/Prussia" title="Prussia">Prussia</a>, which in 1816 created the district as part of its <a href="/wiki/Rhineland" title="Rhineland">Rhineland</a> province.
