The office Brumath was an office of the lordship of Lichtenberg , from 1480 of the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg .
history
The administrative district was formed under the rule of Lichtenberg. A part of the area came to the Lords of Lichtenberg in 1332, when they, in cooperation with the Bishop of Strasbourg, Johann von Lichtenberg , who came from their house, were able to buy territories and rights from the Count of Ötingen and were assigned the acquisition by the bishop as a fief . In the same year a number of villages were bought by the landgraves in Alsace.
In 1440 one of the disputes between Jakob von Lichtenberg and his brother, Ludwig V. von Lichtenberg (* 1417, † 1474), was attempted to end by dividing the rule. The office of Brumath was given to Ludwig V.
Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), one of Ludwig V's two heirs, married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417; † 1480) in 1458, who had a small secondary school from the County of Hanau had received in order to be able to marry her. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage. After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Count Jakob, one of Anna's uncle, Philip I d. Ä. In 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule , the other half went to his brother-in-law, Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Brumath office was initially a condominium between Hanau-Lichtenberg and Zweibrücken-Bitsch. Under the government of Count Philip III. From Hanau-Lichtenberg there was then a real division: Brumath came entirely to Zweibrücken-Bitsch. In contrast, the Willstätt office , which also came from the Lichtenberg legacy and was a condominium between the two houses, was transferred entirely to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg.
However, there was another inheritance in 1570, which also brought the Brumath office to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg: Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) and his brother Simon V. Wecker , who died in 1540, each left only one daughter Heiress. Count Jakob's daughter, Margarethe (* 1540; † 1569), was married to Philipp V von Hanau-Lichtenberg (* 1541; † 1599). The legacy resulting from this constellation also included the second half of the former Lichtenberg rule, which was not already ruled by Hanau-Lichtenberg, and included the Brumath office, the Zweibrücken-Bitsch county and the Ochsenstein rule .
As a result of France's reunion policy in 1680, considerable parts of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg in Alsace fell under the sovereignty of France . This also included the Brumath office.
In 1717/1718 the Count of Hanau was able to use a patent letter from the French King Louis XV. buy the sovereign rights to the town of Brumath and the castle of the same name , the hunting rights of the Stephansfelder Hospital and the sovereign rights to the villages of Krautweiler , Gries , Waltenheim and Arnsberg Castle for 25,000 livres from Kurmainz. They were no longer fiefs, but allod . 1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family. Due to the marriage of his only daughter, Charlotte (* 1700; † 1726), with the Hereditary Prince Ludwig (VIII.) (* 1691; † 1768) of Hesse-Darmstadt , the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg fell there. In the course of the French Revolution , the left bank of the Hanau-Lichtenberg county - and with it the Brumath office - fell to France. In the course of the revolutionary restructuring, this also dissolved the old administration.
According to a census from May 1798, the office had 7,833 inhabitants.
