Office messenger booth

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The office Botenlauben (also Vogtei Botenlauben ) was an office of the Hochstift Würzburg .

history

The core of the office was the Botenlauben Castle . In 1234 Otto von Botenlauben sold the castle and its accessories to the Würzburg monastery. As part of the territorialization , this became the office of messengers. In 1315 officials in Botenlauben are mentioned for the first time, and in 1327 for the first time the Amt of Botenlauben itself. In 1339, Würzburg acquired the von Grumbach family in the district and rounded it off.

The Botenlauben office was pledged many times: in 1356 to Lutz von Thüngen, 1364 to Albrecht von Heßberg, 1402 to Friedrich I von Henneberg. After more than 70 years in the Henneberg property, B. Rudolf von Scherenberg acquired the pledge in 1474. In 1521, Würzburg finally redeemed Reinhard von Steinau-Steinrück's last pledge.

At this point the castle had already crumbled. The office now only existed in name and was co-administered by the bailiff of the Ebenhausen office.

The Botenlauben office had bailiff rights. In 1439 Peter Herbstadt was named as Vogt , in 1476 the office was explicitly named as Vogtei.

During the Thirty Years' War the office was under the Swedish or Saxon-Weimar government from 1631 to 1634. Organizationally, the Hochstift was divided into main teams. The Hauptmannschaft Mainberg consisted of the offices of Mainberg , Haßfurt , Ebenhausen and Werneck , the Vogtei Bodenlauben and the Office of Theres .

The statistics of the Hochstift Würzburg from 1699 no longer run it as a separate office, but instead names the places under the Ebenhausen office. The office consisted of Arnshausen , Reiterswiesen with (sub) messenger arbors, Kronungen and Oberwerrn .
