Office Cottbus

The Cottbus office was an electoral-Brandenburg , later a royal-Prussian domain office with its seat in Cottbus (Brandenburg). The non-contiguous official area was partly in what is now the city of Cottbus, but mostly in what is now the Spree-Neisse district . It emerged from the house ownership of the Cottbus rulership and the Sielow office, which was combined with the Cottbus office around 1740 . In 1832 the Peitz office was added. The Cottbus office was dissolved in 1872/74.

history

The rule of Cottbus in Niederlausitz was divided into two halves around / after 1400. In 1445 half of Reinhard von Cottbus went to the Brandenburg Margrave Friedrich II , and in 1455 after the death of Luther von Cottbus the other half too.

According to Berthold Schulze, the Cottbus office is said to have been formed by Johann von Küstrin around 1540 from the property of the Cottbus lordship and confiscated church goods from the Minorite monastery in Cottbus. However, in 1517, Elector Joachim I appointed Balthasar von Buch as captain of Cottbus and Peitz. So we have him for his housekeeping and salary in our Sloß Cottbus on the following people ... in addition to having and taking our ampten, prescribed and granted that Ime our Castner there at the same time should give and give two hundred gulden in ordinary Muntz Landeswerung, dartzu havern forty painters ... The note clearly states that Cottbus, together with Peitz, was already an office in 1517 that was led by a paid captain. Regarding the allegedly confiscated church property of the Minorite monastery (Sandow, Brunschwig, Ostrow, Schmellwitz and half of Döbbrick), the Brandenburg Monastery Book says that this property is unlikely due to the order's poverty law. The order could possibly have received memorial foundations from these places, or it could have been the appointment district of the monastery. A mix-up with the Cottbus Heiliggeisthospital or the monastery of the Order of the Holy Spirit cannot be ruled out, as the hospital / monastery can be shown to have owned in Sandow and Brunschwig. It is possible that it is simply an unfounded conclusion from the fact that the said villages were merged from around 1537 to form the parish of the lower church (= Franciscan monastery church).

The lords of Cottbus and Peitz belonged to the Neumark, but the three offices of Cottbus, Peitz and Sielow were subordinate to the Kurmärkische Kammer. They are therefore listed under the Kurmark. Around 1740, the Cottbus office was given a general lease together with the Sielow office . In 1780 the Sielow office was finally fully integrated into the Cottbus office and dissolved. In 1774, the works in the suburbs and Lakoma were ceded by the then New Mark Peitz Office to the Cottbus Office in the Kurmark. In 1783 the Cottbus office had 5,987 inhabitants and 1224 fire places .

The former office building of the Cottbus office, along with the stable and wash house, courtyard and garden, was sold in 1819. Around 1770 Christian Gottlieb Hubert took over the two offices of Cottbus and Sielow in general lease. He founded a tenant dynasty on these two farms. In 1782 he bought the manor Ressen , a Brandenburg exclave in the Calauische Kreis of Niederlausitz , from the widow of Carl Johann Erdmann von Thielau, who died in 1778, and his four sons for 10,000 thalers . He sold Ressen in 1802 for 22,500 thalers to Ms. Johanna Tillich, nee. Kruger. In 1788 he bought the village of Bloischdorf , an exclave of the Silesian district of Sagan in the then Saxon Lower Lusatia, for 9,500 thalers from Heinrich Wilhelm Ehrenreich von Kottwitz . Christian Gottlieb Hubert died on February 8, 1811 in Cottbus. His son Ferdinand Gottlob, who died on November 2, 1829, succeeded him in the Cottbus office. The son Carl Christian Gottlob took over Bloischdorf. Ferdinand Gottlob Hubert was able to manage Stradow near Vetschau / Spreewald from Helene Wilhelmine von Langenn born in 1823 . von Schönberg for 39,500 thalers. His successor in the Cottbus office, his son Julius Gottlieb Hubert, sold Stradow in 1834 to his sister Ulrike Ferdinandine von Arenstorff for 40,000 thalers.
