Former Swiss Subject Territories and Possessions to 1803

Note: The territorial evolution of Switzerland occurred primarily with the acquisition of territory by the historical cantons of the Old Swiss Confederacy and its close associates. This gradual expansion took place in two phases, the growth from the medieval Founding Cantons to the "Eight Cantons" during 1332–1353, and the expansion to the "Thirteen Cantons" of the Reformation period during 1481–1513.

The Helvetic Republic (formed 1798) as revised in the Act of Mediation (1803) added further territories of former Associates of the Swiss Confederacy, notably those of the Abbey of St. Gall and the Three Leagues. The territories of the Valais, the Swiss Jura and Geneva were added to the "restored" Confederacy following the Congress of Vienna in 1815.

The restored Confederacy remained a union of nominally independent states until the formation of Switzerland as a federal state in 1848. Some territorial disputes remained, and were resolved in the 1850s and 1860s. Since then, the territory of Switzerland has remained fixed (with the exception of minor border corrections) by 1863.

Haldenstein

1149                       Probably first mentioned in documents as a name of origin for the
                             personal name Iohannes de Lanze.
1375                       Mentioned as Lentz inferior ("Unterlenz").
.... - 1424                Haldenstein a fief of the Bishopric of Chur.
1424                       Lordship of Haldenstein (Herrschaft Haldenstein), sovereign rights
                             acquired by Peter von Grifensee. 
1542                       Lord Jakob von Marmels dies and thru marriage it passes to Jean-Jacques
                             de Castion (d. 1553), the French envoy to the Three Leagues in Chur.
1558                       Federal municipalities decided that the patronage of Haldenstein
                             would belong to the Three Leagues, this is only recognized in
                             1568 by Lord of Haldenstein Gregor Carl von Hohenbalken.
16th cent.                 Haldenstein placed under protection of the 7 Swiss cantons (without
                             Bern), creating a long dispute with Drei Bünde of Graubünden.
1607                       Thomas von Ehrenfels-Schauenstein (Schawenstein) bought Haldenstein
                             from the Hohenbalk heirs for three thousand kronen (ordination by
                             the Drie Bund 22 Mar 1609).
1656                       Brothers Thomas and Julius Otto von Schauenstein divide the Haldenstein
                             property by drawing lots (the dividing line ran through the
                             longitudinal axis of the castle - Thomas received the valley-side
                             half and Julius Otto the mountain-side half).
c.1700                     Julius' line ends in bankruptcy around 1700. The heiress of Thomas'
                             line brought the half that belonged to her into the possession of
                             the von Salis family in 1703.
14 Nov 1729                Gubert von Salis purchases the part belonging to the older line, 
                             reuniting the two halves of Haldenstein.
1737                       Gubert dies and the southern half of the castle went to his brother
                             Thomas and the northern half to Gubert's daughter Barbara Cleophea
                             von Sallis (d. 1778).
1763                       Barbara Cleophea sells her northern half of the castle to professors
                             Martin Planta and Johann Peter Nesemann, who run the Graubünden
                             seminar (which moves to Schloss Marschlins 1770 and disbands 1777).
1780                       The Salis acquire both halves of the castle.
