Arnstein Office (Hochstift Würzburg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Arnstein office was an office of the Würzburg monastery .

history

The town, castle and office of Arnstein were owned by the Trimberg family . Conrad III. von Trimberg transferred this property to the Würzburg monastery on January 25, 1297 with the consent of his wife Adelheid and went to a monastery. His son Konrad IV challenged the contract, but in a recess of 1292 the possession of the office of Würzburg was confirmed forever. On July 25, 1660, Elector Johann Philipp von Schönborn acquired the goods and rights of the widow Haxthausen for 3,000 guilders .

The statistics of the Hochstift Würzburg from 1699 name 1034 subjects in one city and 20 villages. The following were deducted from the office as annual income for the bishopric: Estimate : 265 Reichstaler, 9 Batzen, excise and ungeld : 680 fl and smoke pound : 1,026 pounds.

In 1719 the rule Büchold von Würzburg was acquired and in 1776 it was repealed as Amt Büchold and assigned to the Amt Arnstein. It was now called Amt Arnstein with Büchold. In the 18th century, the Arnstein office was also known as the Oberamt. Formally at the head was a noble bailiff.

After the transfer to Bavaria in 1802, the office was revoked and most of the towns were assigned to the Arnstein district court .

The center of Arnstein consisted of the below mentioned official places as well as the following places from the office Trimberg : Schwebenried , Altbessingen , Burghausen and Gauaschach . In addition, the place Gramschatz (Vogtei Haug) belonged to the center.

The main court was held outside the city in front of the Schwebenrieder Tor. In winter it was held in the “Zum Engel” inn at the northern end of the market square next to the Schwebenrieder Tor.
