history
The Eilenburg office emerged from the Eilenburg care , which was mentioned in a document as early as 1017 as a special county and had been in the hands of the Wettins since the turn of the millennium . In 1291, the area came in the Association of Markgrafschaft Landsberg to the Mark Brandenburg , 1378 to the Lords of Colditz and finally in 1402 by purchasing the Margraviate of Meissen .
When Leipzig was divided in 1485, the Eilenburg office came to the Ernestine branch of the Wettins, whose residence was in Wittenberg . In the Schmalkaldic War 1546-47 stood Albertine Duke Maurice of Saxony on the side of Emperor Charles V against his Ernestine cousin, Elector Frederick II., Who in the 1546 imperial ban has been done and the Capitulation of Wittenberg on the Saxon Electorate and almost all Hereditary lands had to forego in favor of the Albertiner, including the Eilenburg office. During the reorganization of his now greatly expanded territory, Moritz assigned this office to the Leipzig district of what was now the Electorate of Saxony . The Eilenburg office remained with Saxony until 1815, when it fell to the Kingdom of Prussia due to the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna and from 1816 formed the eastern part of the district of Delitzsch (Province of Saxony) . Only the exclave of Cossa was assigned to the Bitterfeld district.
Since 1990 the territory of the former Eilenburg office has belonged to the Free State of Saxony . On the orders of Elector Moritz von Sachsen, an inheritance book of the Eilenburg office was created in 1548.
