 This picturesque privilege the family enjoyed until the end of the Holy Roman Empire.The elder line of the family of Dalberg-Dalberg became extinct in 1848, and the younger, that of Dalberg-Herrnsheim, in 1833.The male line of the Dalbergs is now represented only by the family of Hessloch, descended from Gerhard of Dalberg (c. 1239), which in 1809 succeeded to the title and estates in Moravia and Bohemia of the extinct counts of Ostein.
