Bernkastel Office
The Bernkastel office was an administrative and judicial district in the Electorate of Trier that existed from the 14th century to the end of the 18th century .
history
Bernkastel has always been owned by Trier. Landshut Castle was built in the 13th century to secure Trier's power, and after the establishment of the office, it also became the seat of the bailiff. In the 14th century, the castle and office of Bernkastel were pledged to the Prüm Abbey , but Trier was able to redeem the pledge in 1456.
In the 18th century the office was subordinate to the Oberamt Bernkastel . With the capture of the Left Bank of the Rhine by French revolutionary troops , the office was dissolved after 1794. In the French era , the area belonged to the canton of Bernkastel .
scope
At the end of the electoral state, the office covered an area of 66.84 km² and had 4743 inhabitants. It consisted of Berncastel , Cues , Grach , Monzel , Monzelfeld , Neumagen , Osann and Thron .
Official seat
The bailiff had his seat in the former electoral office and cellar building. This building was built between 1656–61 and is a three-story two-wing structure with a four-story staircase. The building at Gestade 12 was last used as a viticulture school and is a listed building .
