history
The Amt Pausa was as a lordship Pausa fief of the Mark Meissen and came in the middle of the 14th century to the Lords of Plauen . After the end of the Vogtland War it was sold to the House of Wettin in 1357 , but was later returned to the Lords of Plauen , who then sold it to the Wettins again in 1402 and bought it back again. It was not until 1466 that the office finally passed to the sovereign. Since the division of Leipzig in 1485, the office belonged to the Ernestine line of the Wettins. In 1529 the Reformation was introduced in the Vogtland . Due to the defeat of the Ernestines in the Schmalkaldic War , the three Vogtland offices of Pausa, Plauen and Voigtsberg came into possession of the Bohemian crown in 1547 . In 1549 the Lords of Plauen bought the Amt Pausa back as a Bohemian fief. In 1569 it was bought by the Albertine elector from the heavily indebted bailiffs of Plauen and it became part of the newly founded Vogtland district within the electorate of Saxony . From 1657 to 1718 the three offices of the Vogtland district belonged to the Albertine secondary school principality of Saxony-Zeitz . After 1764 the office was mostly mentioned together with the office of Plauen . In 1856 the Pausa judicial district was formed, which in 1875 became part of the Plauen administration .
