The Eckartsberga office was an administrative unit in the Thuringian district 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 .

history

Eckartsberga came into permanent possession of the Wettins in 1288 , who founded an administrative center here. From 1445 to 1482 Eckartsberga was part of the Principality of Thuringia, the Duke Wilhelm III. of Saxony (died 1482). In 1485 Eckartsberga - as a result of the division of Leipzig - became the capital and seat of the newly created Saxon office of Eckartsberga in the Albertine Duchy of Saxony. After the Wittenberg surrender in 1547, the office became part of the newly created Thuringian District of the Albertine Electorate of Saxony .

The official place of Eßleben came into the possession of Duke Friedrich Wilhelm of Saxe-Weimar in 1585 with the Hardisleben manor . The place became an object of dispute because it was still under the sovereignty of the Electorate of Saxony and as such fell under the administration of the Eckartsberga Office. On the other hand, it was part of the Ernestine Ministry of Hardisleben , which belonged to the duchies of Saxony-Weimar (1585–1603 and 1672–1741), Saxony-Altenburg (1603–1672) and Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach (from 1741).

From 1656 to 1746 the Eckartsberga office - with the exception of the localities of the rural nobility - belonged to the Sachsen-Weißenfels secondary school .

As a result of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Kingdom of Saxony had to cede its areas in Thuringia (including the Thuringian District) to the Kingdom of Prussia . This also included the "Amt Eckartsberga" from the lower district of the Thuringian District. Most of the office remained with Prussia and in 1816 was combined with the offices of Sachsenburg and Heldrungen to form the new Prussian district of Eckartsberga in the administrative district of Merseburg in the province of Saxony . The Eckartsberga district continued to exist until 1952.

In 1815, however, the following places went from Prussia to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach : Altengönna, Eberstedter Mühle, Ellersleben, Eßleben, Goldbach, Großneuhausen, Kleinneuhausen, Ködderitzsch, Lehesten, Leuthenthal, Liebstedt, Nerkewitz, Neuengönna, Niedertrebra, Nirmsdorf, Oberreißen Orlishausen, Porstendorf, Rannstedt, Rödigen, Rudersdorf, Sachsenhausen, Wittersroda, Wohlsborn and Zwätze. As another former place of the office, Auerstedt became part of the Apolda district (today the Weimarer Land district ) when the Kölleda district was dissolved .

The territory of the former Eckartsberga office is now partly in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt , several places, especially those mentioned above, belong to the Free State of Thuringia .

The oldest inheritance books of the Eckartsberga office date from 1517 and 1550.
