Isenburg-Meerholz

Isenburg[1]-Meerholz[2] (or Ysenburg-Büdingen-Meerholz) was a County with Imperial immediacy in the south of Hesse, Germany.

History

It was created as a partition of Isenburg-Büdingen (or Ysenburg-Büdingen) in 1687 (Third Main-Partition) for one of the branches of an ancient German House of Isenburg. It was mediatised to Isenburg in 1806.

In 2007, with the addition of Romania and Bulgaria, Meerholz (now a part of the former free town of Gelnhausen) became the European Union's new geographical centre.
