Office Eltmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Amt Eltmann or Amt Wallburg was an office of the Hochstift Würzburg .

history

The core of the formation of offices in the context of territorialization were the castles, here the eponymous Wallburg . In 1278 a Würzburg Vogt was first mentioned in a document on the Wallburg. From 1316 to 1352 the office was pledged to the knight Theodor von Hohenberg . In 1363 it was pledged to the knights Dietrich, Eberhard and Apel Fuchs. From 1404 Dietrich Fuchs and his son Thomas were pledges for an amount of 7,000 guilders . In 1477 the bishopric was able to redeem the office.

In this context, Bishop Rudolf II von Scherenberg had an interest book drawn up, from which the scope of the office can be identified.

place Subjects possession
Eltmann 116 30 houses, 46 riding schools, 1 mill
Ebelsbach 7th 6 horse riding
Eschenbach 13 4 fiefs, 4 selden, 2 estates, 1 courtyard
Dippach 5 3 fiefs, 1 mill
Stettfeld 92 5 Huben, 21 Selden
Oberschleichach 7th 1 rare, 6 goodies
Unterschleichach 8th 9 farms, 1 riding court

As was common at the time, the office was interspersed with sovereign rights of third parties. An interest and validity book from 1511/13 shows:

place Würzburg property Foreign property
Eltmann 184 hearths 1. Freedom of Jörg Fuchs
Eschenbach 11 hearths
Dippach 9 men 1 husband of Jörg Fuchs
Stettfeld 84 hearths
Oberscheichach 7 hearths 2 fox hearths
Hideout 5 hearths 4 hearths of the Bamberg monastery
Ebelsbach 40 8 subjects of the Rotenhanerhilet

In addition, the Cent Eltmann and Cent Hohenaich and the small customs on the Main were administered by the office.

In 1528 the bishopric acquired subjects and central rights in Stettfeld for 800 guilders from Philipp Truchseß von Pommersfelden. Trossenfurt was hereditary property. According to the recess of October 3, 1656, Würzburg was entitled to half of the taxes and was the sole authority of the center. Other heirs were Münster von Lisberg , Bamberg's Martinsspital and the Würzburg Juliusspital . Tütschengereuth was a condominium between Bamberg and Würzburg.

From 1651 to 1656 the bishopric bought the property from the Juliusspital for 30,000 guilders that Fuchs von Bimbach had pledged there. That was the village of Limbach with all fairnesses, the cents in Dippach and various subjects, rights and goods in Roßbach, Sand and Steinbach. In 1685, Unterschleichach emerged from a glassworks. In 1665 the real people of Mespelbrunn died out and the bishopric received a few subjects in Weisbrunn and the Zenten in Roßstadt.

The statistics of the Hochstift Würzburg from 1699 name 393 subjects in one city and 16 villages. The following were deducted from the office as annual income for the bishopric: Estimate : 50 Reichstaler, 11¾ Batzen, excise and ungeld : 162 fl and smoke pound : 359 pound.

In the 18th century, the Eltmann office was also known as the Oberamt. Formally at the head was a noble bailiff.

After the transfer to Bavaria in 1802, the office was revoked and most of the places were assigned to the Bamberg II district court . A small part came to the Hallstadt district court .

The main court

The Würzburg district court Eltmann comprised in 1575 Bischofsheim, Breitbrunn, Dankenfeld, Ebelsbach, Eltmann, Eschanbach, Fatschenbrunn, Friedrichsbrunn, Gleisenau, Hasenzellem Hermannsberg, Neubrunn, Neuhaus, Oberschleichach, Pettstadt, Priegendorf, Priesendorf, Salms Steindorf, Sand, Schönbrunn, Kalckofen, Kettendorf, Kirchaich, Kirchlauter, Krappenhof, Leppelsdorf, Limbach, Mittelholz, Stettfeld, Taubenholz, Tretzendorf, Trossenfurt, Unterschleichach, Weikartslauter, Weisbrunn and Wörth (controversial).

The main court was held in the open air in front of the Saalhof. The place of execution was on Limbacher Weg. "Galgenleite", about 250 meters west of the church and "Stockgasse" indicates it as a field name.

Official seat

The official seat was initially the castle. In 1590 Würzburg acquired a building in Eltmann as a winery for 400 guilders and expanded it in 1601/1602 by purchasing two second houses for 1000 guilders. In 1657 Würzburg acquired the Salhof from Heinrich Fuch von Gleisenau. In 1777 the bishopric moved the official seat from the castle to the Saalhof in the city.
