history

The princes of the Leiningen-Dagsburg-Hardenburg line were compensated for their lost possessions on the left bank of the Rhine through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 with a new territory, which among other things consisted of the former Electoral Mainz monastery of Amorbach . They organized this area in the vicinity of the former monastery as the Amorbach Office .

With the Rhine Confederation Act of 1806, the Principality of Leiningen and with it the Amorbach Office became part of the Grand Duchy of Baden . The princes of Leiningen, however, retained civil rights in the office (known as the civil office ). The Amorbach Office was assigned to the province of the Lower Rhine within the administrative structure of Baden and there to the Landvogtei Miltenberg .

In the autumn of 1810 a triangular deal took place between the French Empire , the Grand Duchy of Hesse and the Grand Duchy of Baden. Baden put its own territories at the disposal of France, which then passed them on to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in a state treaty dated November 11, 1810. The Hessian occupation patent dated November 13, 1810 and also included the Amorbach office .

As a result of the Congress of Vienna , the Grand Duchy ceded the Landvogtei Miltenberg to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816 . The corresponding state treaty is dated June 30, 1830. There it became part of the Lower Main District . The civil rights were exercised in the Amorbach rulership . This was after the March revolution to district court Amorbach .
