This was as much so in the two Lauderts as it was elsewhere. It is known that Laudert – although it is not known which half – passed on 25 March 1275 as the result of a compromise to the nobleman (his rank is not mentioned) of Milewald. (At this time, the village was known as "Ludinroit", which later developed into "Ludenrod"). Later, in the 14th century, this nobleman's successor enfeoffed Prince-Archbishop-Elector Baldwin of Trier with the village (or perhaps both villages). In 1400, the village was a fief held by the Lords of Schöneck. In 1440, Laudert passed to Duke Stephan. After a division of holdings in 1787, "Laudert-trierisch" was assigned to the Electorate of Trier and "Laudert-pfälzisch" to the Counts Palatine (that is, to the Palatinate). The more easterly of these two Lauderts was thereafter assigned to the "Amt" of Oberwesel, which in turn was under the Trier "Oberamt" of Simmern. The split led to each half of the village going its own way politically and denominationally according to each one's overlord's beliefs. Each had its own administration and its own property. Beginning in 1794, Laudert lay under French rule. In 1815 it was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna.
