Was a lordship of the Holy Roman Empire.

Establishment

  • January 1169: In 1168, Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa probably transferred the bailiwick of the Amorbach monastery with extensive estates to his henchman Ruprecht, first mentioned in 1171, and thus set a counterweight to the bishop of Würzburg in the eastern Odenwald. Ruprecht had his administrative seat in Walldürn or moved it there and called himself de Durne (of Dürn).
