Sayn-Homburg, Medieval county in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

The region extends across the western part of Germany, with Homburg Castle positioned as its central administrative location at coordinates 50.91N, 7.53E.

Established in 1283 as a partition of Sponheim-Sayn, the county merged with Wittgenstein in 1384 following the marriage between Count Salentin and the Wittgenstein heiress.

The noble family of Sayn-Homburg maintained strong connections with neighboring territories through marriages and alliances, influencing regional governance until 1919.

Modern visitors can access historical records and genealogical information about the Sayn-Homburg dynasty at regional archives in Rhineland-Palatinate.

The county's merger into Sayn-Wittgenstein created a territorial entity that remained significant in German nobility for over five centuries.
