history

The castle Aschach was the original center of the exercise of power in the neighborhood. The castle was built from 1165 under the Henneberger Poppo VI. built. When the Henneberg main division of the county of Henneberg in 1274, one of the three lines Henneberg-Aschach was created. As part of the territorialization , the Aschach office emerged from this domain. In 1306, Dietrich von Heustreu was the first official known to be a bailiff .

In 1391 Dietrich von Bibra acquired the office that had previously been pledged to him. After the agreed 10-year repurchase period had expired, the guardians of his son Hans sold the office to the Würzburg monastery in 1401. Henneberg appealed against this; in a recess from 1402, however, Henneberg renounced the claims. Friedrich I von Henneberg received the office of Aschach and the Würzburg share in the office of Münnerstadt pledged in 1434 for 24,000 guilders . In 1486 the property of the Henneberger was divided again and Otto III von Henneberg received the offices of Aschach and the share in Münnerstadt. Würzburg redeemed the pledge. In a settlement it was agreed on the end of the pledge in 1490 and the appointment of Otto III von Henneberg as bailiff. With Otto's childless death in 1502, the office reverted to Würzburg. In 1503 the two offices were pledged to Otto Voit von Salzburg and in 1510 to Georg von Herbstadt, both of whom were also appointed bailiffs.

The statistics of the Hochstift Würzburg from 1699 name 1184 subjects in 28 villages. The following were deducted from the office as annual income for the bishopric: Estimate : 376 Reichstaler, 10 Batzen, excise and ungeld : 461 fl and smoke pound : 1154 pounds.

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After the transfer to Bavaria in 1802, the office was revoked and most of the places were assigned to the Kissingen district court . The associated Rentamt Kissingen was based in Aschach.
