Breitingen Office

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Breitingen Office was a territorial administrative unit belonging to the Naumburg-Zeitz Monastery. Since 1564 it was counted to the Amt Zeitz , with which it belonged to the Electorate of Saxony from 1564, to the Secondogeniture Principality of Saxony-Zeitz from 1656/57 and 1718 and to the Kingdom of Saxony from 1806 .

When the Zeitz office was ceded to Prussia in 1815, the three places belonging to the Breitingen office remained with the Kingdom of Saxony, where they were incorporated into the Borna office.

Geographical location

The Breitingen office consisted of the towns of Regis and Breitingen west of the Pleiße (today forming the core of Regis-Breitingen ) and the town of Blumroda east of the river , which was devastated in 1952/57 by the Borna-West opencast mine (today located in the Borna reservoir ). The small office area which was physically separated from the much larger office Zeitz in the West, was between the Saxon Office Borna in the north and the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg associated office Altenburg in the south.

Today the administrative area lies in the district of Leipzig in the Free State of Saxony on the border with the district of Altenburger Land in the Free State of Thuringia .

history

In 929 the Regis Castle was mentioned in a supplement to the chronicle of the city of Borna . The place Regis was probably mentioned for the first time in 1190. In 1208 the castle and town of Regis were administered as part of the Pleißner Land (Gau Plisni) by the Altenburg court . Breitingen and his manor were first mentioned as campo Bredingin in 1265 in a purchase contract between the Landgrave of Thuringia and the Bishop of Merseburg . In 1355 Breitingen was sold to Naumburg-Zeitz Abbey . The episcopal "Amt Breitingen" was first mentioned in 1369. It included the minor ownership of the bishopric in northern Pleißenland. These included the three places Regis (1228 owned by the bishopric, 1404 and 1407 Wiesen in Regis, 1413 fiefdoms and the Regiser mill, 1443 additional fiefdoms), Breitingen (1430/35 half of the village in episcopal ownership, manor and village in 1467 ) and Blumroda (interest-bearing land and fiefdoms with the Regiser mill in 1413 through purchase to the possession of the bishopric). In 1467 the towns of Regis and Breitingen belonged to the episcopal table goods. In 1382 the Regis Castle was destroyed. In the following years the place became a vassal town of the lords of the Breitingen manor. After the division of Leipzig in 1485, the Naumburg bishopric and its offices came under the bailiwick of the Ernestine electorate of Saxony. In the course of the introduction of the Reformation , the Breitingen office came to the Ephorie Zeitz in 1536 . Regis, Breitingen and Blumroda have been Lutheran since 1542 .

Due to the Wittenberg surrender in 1547, the influence of the Ernestines on the Naumburg bishopric in relation to the now Albertine electorate of Saxony decreased. The Albertine Duke and now Elector Moritz of Saxony received protection over the Naumburg-Zeitz monastery. After the death of the last Naumburg bishop Julius von Pflug in 1564, the bishopric and his offices passed to the Albertine Elector August I of Saxony as administrator. It thus became a subsidiary of the Electorate of Saxony, which was not assigned to a district of Electoral Saxony . In 1564 the Zeitz office was formed from the monastery property around Zeitz, to which the Breitingen office, which was spatially separated from this, was added to. Although the name "Amt Breitingen" remained in use, it appears as a manor district with associated places in the listing of the Amt Zeitz. In 1592 Heinrich von Bünau was enfeoffed with the Breitingen manor. It was bought by Bernhardt von Starschedel in 1629 . In 1651 Colonel of War von Bose was enfeoffed with Breitingen. His descendants owned the estate until 1821.

Between 1656/57 and 1718 the Breitingen office belonged as part of the Zeitz office to the Wettin secondary school principality of Saxony-Zeitz . With the appointment of the Electorate of Saxony to the Kingdom , the Zeitz office with the Breitingen office belonged to the Kingdom of Saxony from 1806 . In 1814, the Naumburg monastery area was dissolved as part of the Kingdom of Saxony under Governor General Nikolai Grigoryevich Repnin-Volkonsky . After Napoleon's defeat , the Kingdom of Saxony, allied with him, had to cede a large part of its territory, including the Zeitz office, to the Kingdom of Prussia following the resolution of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 . The eastern enclave locations, i.e. H. the Breitingen office with Regis, Breitingen and Blumroda and the Zeitz offices of Nehmitz , Hagenest and Wildenhain remained with Saxony and were incorporated into the Borna office. Ecclesiastically, the places of the dissolved Breitingen office came to the Ephorie Borna. The Breitingen manor was sold to the merchant Hertwig in 1821. On December 19, 1855, the patrimonial jurisdiction over Regis, Breitingen and Blumroda was dissolved. The Royal District Court of Borna took over the jurisdiction .
