Isenburg-Braunsberg was the name of a state of the Holy Roman Empire, based around the hill Braunsberg (near Anhausen in modern Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany). It was created as a partition of Isenburg-Isenburg in 1199 (1210). In 1338 Isenburg-Braunsberg became an Imperial County. It slowly acquired territories of the County of Wied, being renamed to Isenburg-Wied in 1388.

The County of Isenburg was a region of Germany located in southern present-day Hesse, located in territories north and south of Frankfurt.

The County of Wied 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. Via William of Albania, the House of Wied ruled the Principality of Albania in 1914.
