Office Büchold

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The rule Büchold (most recently Amt Büchold ) was a territory of various noble families and later an office of the Hochstift Würzburg .

history

The core of the rule was the hilltop castle Büchold . This was first mentioned in a document in 1299 as a settlement of the Würzburg Johanniterhaus . In 1364 Hildebrand von Thüngen acquired the property as a Würzburg fief. The Lutheran faith was introduced into the Büchold reign around 1540 .

In 1596 Dietrich Echter von Mespelbrunn acquired the castle and rule of Büchold for 125,000 guilders . He carried out the re-Catholicization of Büchold. In 1652 the rule of Büchold went to the von Dalberg family as a Würzberg fiefdom and thus became part of the extended Dalberg rule . In 1719 the branch of the Dalberg family died out and the Würzburg bishopric moved in the castle and rule of Büchold as a settled fief. Würzburg did not administer the rule itself, but gave it as a fief to Lothar Gottfried Freiherr von Greifenclau . In 1747 the fief went to the von Ingelheim family . This transaction had to be reversed after a ruling by the Reich Chamber of Commerce in 1753. Now the Hochstift administered the property as Amt Büchold itself. In 1776 the Amt Büchold was abolished and assigned to the Amt Arnstein .
