Office Crottendorf
The office of Crottendorf was a territorial administrative unit of the Electorate of Saxony in the Erzgebirge district .
Until the end of the Saxon constitution of offices in 1856, it was the spatial reference point for the demand for sovereign taxes and compulsory services , for the police , jurisdiction and army successes .
Geographical expansion
The office was located in the ridge of the Fichtelberg and included the Crottendorfer Forest and the upper reaches of the rivers Große Mittweida , Zschopau , Sehma and Pöhlbach . Another important mountain in the area is the Scheibenberg (Ore Mountains) . The southern border of the office also formed the national border to Bohemia .

history
In 1559, the underage brothers Johann, George, Hugo and Wolff von Schönburg sold the upper part of the county of Hartenstein , namely “ our Krottendorffische vnd Wiesenthaller Welde, vnd fetched, so hiebeuorn against the Harttensteyn, along with many other stains attached to them, and Dorffschafftenn ”, for 146,000 guilders to the Saxon Elector August .
In addition to mining in the mining towns of Scheibenberg and Oberwiesenthal, a main line of business for the office was the operation of iron hammer works , 17 of which existed in 1559, namely seven on the Große Mittweida , four on the Pöhlwasser , three on the "Wiesenthaler Wasser" and two on the Schwarzbach. It can be assumed that the Crottendorf Office was administratively closely related to the neighboring Schwarzenberg Office from the beginning, mainly because of its small size , and was finally dissolved in the second half of the 17th century and merged with Schwarzenberg around 1670.
