Camberg Office

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Camberg office was a bishopric administrative and judicial district in the Old Kingdom and from 1803 to 1816 an office in the Duchy of Nassau .

history

The Camberg Office was a former part of the County of Diez . Adolf von Nassau-Dillenburg received the County of Diez through marriage, which meant that the Camberg office became Nassau. His heir Jutta married Gottfried VII von Eppstein-Münzenberg . This made the office 3/4 Epsteinian and 1/4 Nassau . In 1453 Eppstein sold 1/4 to Katzenelnbogen . This share fell in 1587 to Nassau-Dillenburg . Thus the office was half Eppstein and half Dillenburg. After the Eppsteiners and the Königsteiners who inherited them died out in 1581, Trier withdrew this share as a reverted fiefdom .

From 1535 to 1803 the Camberg office was under the joint administration of Nassau-Diez and Kurtrier . The official description of the Trier official Ernst Cornelius Pagenstecher from March 28, 1772 named the following places and population figures:

place Married couples Single men Single women Fireplaces
City of Camberg 140 222 198 158
Choke 103 109 102 79
Erbach 100 169 155 110
Oberselderß (Oberselters) 48 57 84 52
Haintgen (Haintchen) 101 96 102 75
Dombach 30th 34 47 47
Schwickershausen 43 70 46 38

In a list commissioned by Elector Johann II of Baden in 1498, the Hasselbach office is mentioned as one of the 59 offices at that time. Hasselbach came to Kurtrier together with the Limburg Office after the death of Johann II, the last male representative of the House of Limburg, in 1406. After the exchange of a quarter of Hasselbach (this was last owned by Nassau-Usingen), Kurtrier was the owner of 3/4 of the place until the end of the HRR, which the Kurtrier bailiff von Camberg helped to manage. Eisenbach had belonged to half of Kutrier since 1427, Nassau-Orange each owned a quarter and the barons of Hohenfeld and then the barons of Schütz zu Holzhausen. Here, too, the administration of the Trier part was carried out from Camberg, even if Pagenstecher does not list these two places in 1772.

The Kurtrierische areas on the right bank of the Rhine , thus also the share in the Camberg office, were assigned to the Prince of Nassau-Weilburg in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , from 1806 the office was part of the Duchy of Nassau . With a ministerial resolution of January 26, 1808, the office was transferred from the Ehrenbreitstein administrative region to the Wiesbaden administrative region , Mensfelden was transferred to the Kirberg office and the patrimonial court of the Freiherren von Hohenfeld was repealed.

In 1812 the neighboring offices of Amt Camberg, Amt Dauborn and Amt Kirberg were merged. The seat of the new Oberamt Kirberg was in Camberg . In 1816 the area of ​​the former Camberg office became part of the Idstein office in Nassau .

Communities

The Camberg office consisted of the city of Camberg , which was also the official seat and the places Erbach , Würges , Oberselters , Dombach , Schwickershausen and Haintchen .
