List of officials of the six-office country

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of bailiffs in the Sechsämterland presents the most important bailiffs in the Sechsämterland , a political division, most recently the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth .

Historical background

Even the burgraves of Nuremberg steadily expanded their influence in what was later to become the Sechsämterland and divided their property into offices. Above all , they gradually pushed back the influence of the bailiffs of Weida and Plauen and that of the imperial-free knighthood, later organized in the knight canton of Gebürg . The Vogtland knighthood were now only country residents with individual privileges of their knightly estates . From the burgraviate of the Franconian Hohenzollern the Markgraftum Brandenburg-Kulmbach developed with seat on the Plassenburg and finally the Principality of Bayreuth , which was sold to Prussia in 1791 together with the Principality of Ansbach .

The Sechsämterland comprised the offices of Hohenberg with Hohenberg Castle , Kirchenlamitz with Epprechtstein Castle , Selb , Thierstein with Thierstein Castle , Weißenstadt initially with Rudolfstein and Wunsiedel with the city ​​castle . The city of Wunsiedel was the seat of the governor from 1613 .
