Office Dahme
The Amt Dahme was an administrative unit of the Electorate of Saxony, which was converted into a kingdom in 1806 . Between 1657 and 1746 the office belonged to the Albertine secondary school principality of Saxony-Weißenfels .
Until it was ceded to Prussia in 1815, as a Saxon office it formed the spatial reference point for the collection of sovereign taxes and compulsory services , for the police , jurisdiction and military service .
Geographical location
The Dahme office extended into the Dahmer Land , where the Niedere Fläming and the Niederlausitz border wall meet. The Dahme River of the same name flows through this region, which rises near the city of Dahme / Mark and flows into the Spree in Berlin-Köpenick .
history
Dahme had been the center of a castle district since 1186 at the latest and was acquired by Archbishop Wichmann of Magdeburg around this time , who thereby expanded his rule of Jüterbog . Between about 1150 and 1300 Flemings immigrated to the region south of Berlin and founded villages and towns there.
In 1265 Dahme was mentioned as a town in a document. In 1516 Hans von Köckeritz sold the Dahme office to the Archbishop of Magdeburg. Through the Peace of Prague in 1635 , the Dahme office came to the Electorate of Saxony.
From 1657-1746 the office belonged to Dahme Albertine Sekundogenitur -Fürstentum Saxe-Weissenfels , which is from 1686 in terms of the economy and the Principality of Justice Sachsen-Querfurt shelter.
The Dahme office was one of those areas that the Kingdom of Saxony , which existed from 1806, had to cede completely to the Kingdom of Prussia after the Congress of Vienna in 1815 . In the resulting Prussian province of Saxony , the Dahme Office (since around 1784 subdivided into Rent and Justice Office) was finally dissolved in 1874. The city of Dahme lost its seat as an administrative center in Prussian times. The Dahme Palace, used as the seat of the Saxon administration, was sold to the Berlin banker and wholesale merchant Schultz in 1825.
