Arenberg




After the French occupation of the west bank of the Rhine around 1798 (see Treaty Of Campo Formio and Treaty Of Lunéville ) the duke of Arenberg received new lands around Recklinghausen , Meppen and Dülmen . Aremberg joined Napoleon's Confederation Of The Rhine , although that did not prevent it being Mediatised in 1810 , with France annexing Dülmen and Meppen, and the duchy of Berg annexing Recklinghausen. After Napoleon's defeat in 1814 and the dissolution of the Confederation of the Rhine the former Arenberg territories were divided between the Kingdoms of Prussia and Hanover . The Dukes of Arenberg remain a prominent Belgian aristocratic family.

The forest of Arenberg is located in northeastern in the past.
