County of Wied

The County of Wied (German pronunciation: [viːt] ⓘ) was a territory of the Holy Roman Empire located on the river Wied where it meets the Rhine.

Wied emerged as a County earlier than many other German states.

The county was incorporated into the Duchy of Nassau in 1806 and into the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna in 1815.

Since 1946, its territory has been part of the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
