Office Banz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Banz Office was an office of the Banz Monastery under the sovereignty of the Bamberg Monastery .

history

The Banz monastery came into possession of a number of places, cents and other rights through donations and acquisitions. These were over 27 localities in Saxon (mainly in Saxony-Coburg ), which were administered in the Buch am Forst office and the Banz office in Bamberg. The sovereignty over the monastery and its offices was controversial for centuries. In 1568 the monastery from Sachsen-Coburg Schutz bought itself free, and in 1566 the Würzburg monastery recognized Bamberg's sovereignty in a settlement. Ecclesiastically, however, it belonged to the diocese of Würzburg. The Banz Monastery was destroyed and rebuilt in the Thirty Years War . Subsequently, it also exercised the high level of jurisdiction in its offices and thus questioned Bamberg's sovereignty. In a recess in 1738, Würzburg and Bamberg agreed to completely restore Bamberg suzerainty. The high level of jurisdiction was only exercised by the Bamberg Office of Lichtenfels . The lower jurisdiction and the tax collection was carried out by the Banz office. This then led the sovereign taxes to Bamberg. The “Subsidium Charitativum”, however, was delivered to Würzburg.

The economic importance of the office for the bishopric of Bamberg was relatively small, it was therefore listed as Amt I class (out of 5). The tax revenue of the tax office averaged 951 during the term of office of Peter Philipp von Dernbach (1672-1683) and 1282 Franconian guilders per year during the term of office of Marquard Sebastian Schenk von Stauffenberg (1683-1693) .

resolution

Since the Peace of Lunéville in 1801, it was clear that Electoral Palatinate Bavaria would receive additional areas as compensation for the loss of the Palatinate on the left bank of the Rhine through the secularization of clerical and sometimes also mediatization of smaller secular territories. In the subsequent negotiations it was agreed that the Bamberg Monastery should fall to Bavaria. This was implemented with the "civil occupation" of November 29, 1802 and approved with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . Prince-Bishop Christoph Franz von Buseck was deposed as secular head but remained ecclesiastical bishop . The Bamberg officials were sworn in on Elector Max Joseph , the direct possessions of the Prince-Bishop became state property. On February 17, 1803, the Banz monastery was also abolished and its office became state.

After secularization, the Banz district judge's office was set up by rescript of October 24, 1803 with effect from November 11, 1803 .
