The office of Beeskow was a high penal Lebusian , then electoral-Brandenburg , later royal-Prussian domain office , which was formed with the acquisition of the rule of Beeskow in 1518 by the diocese of Lebus. The non-contiguous area of ​​the office was around the town of Beeskow in today's Oder-Spree district ( Brandenburg ). It was dissolved in 1872/74.

history

The Beeskow rule was a noble rule belonging to the margraviate Lausitz in the Middle Ages , which was first mentioned in a document in 1272. At that time it was owned by the Lords of Strele , later it passed into the possession of the Lords of Bieberstein , under whom both the rule and the Mark Lausitz went through turbulent times. The Brandenburg margrave Otto V. ("the lazy") sold the Lausitz region to King Wenceslaus of Bohemia in 1367 , the Lausitz region had now become part of the Bohemian kingdom, the Beeskow rule a Bohemian fiefdom. In 1518 the Beeskow dominion, together with the Storkow dominion to the west, were pledged to the Bishop of Lebus by the Biebersteiners, who were struggling with financial problems . The Biebersteiners, who were still in financial problems, could no longer redeem the deposit. After the male line of Bieberstein died out in 1551, the fiefdom fell nominally to the Bohemian crown, the pledge initially remained unaffected. In 1555/56, however, the pledge was passed on to the Brandenburg margrave Johann von Küstrin , who kept the pledge until his death in 1571. The lien was now initially extended in exchange for large monetary payments to the Bohemian King and German Emperor Ferdinand I. The Brandenburg Elector Johann Georg received the hereditary fief by further payments . The Beeskow rule (and the Storkow rule associated with it) had now actually become part of the Kurmark , nominally it remained a Bohemian fiefdom until 1742. In the course of their rule, the Biebersteiner had lent parts of the Beeskow rule on to vassals, so that in fact they no longer existed had all the taxes in their rule.

From the manorial property still remaining in the Beeskow lordship, also called house holdings, the office of Beeskow was created under the Bishops of Lebus, which the Bishops of Lebus and later especially Johann von Küstrin enlarged through acquisitions. Some places were only partially owned by the office.
