Life

Elisabeth Johanna was a daughter of Count Palatine Leopold Louis of Veldenz (1625-1694) and his wife Agatha Christine (1632-1681), the daughter of Count Philip Wolfgang of Hanau-Lichtenberg.

She married on 27 December 1669 to Wild- and Rhinegrave John XI of Salm-Kyrburg (1635-1688). The marriage remained childless. After John's death in 1689, Elisabeth Johanna received Mörchingen Castle and the Lordships of Diemeringen and Helfingen [1] as her Wittum. After Elisabeth Johanna's death, the County of Mörchingen was claimed by the female descendants of John Casimir, Count Palatine of Kleeburg and George Frederick, Wild- and Rhinegrave of Salm-Kyrburg. In 1729, a Lotharingian court ruled in their favour [2]
