Office of Engers
The office of Engers was an administrative and judicial district in the Electorate of Trier with its seat in Engers, which existed from the 14th century to 1794 .
history
In 1362, Elector Kuno II von Falkenstein conquered the town of Engers. In 1371 the bishopric received the formal approval of the acquisition as an imperial loan from the emperor. The office of Engers was probably established in the 14th century under the Trier Elector Balduin (1307-1354). The office was headed by a bailiff . In a list commissioned by Elector Johann II of Baden in 1498, the office of Engers is mentioned as one of 59 offices. Later the (right bank of the Rhine) office Engers and the office (left bank of the Rhine) mountain maintenance were administered together.
In 1788, the Engers department was separated from the Bergpflege department and merged with the Hammerstein department (on the right bank of the Rhine) . With the capture of the Left Bank of the Rhine by French revolutionary troops , the Bergpflege office was dissolved after 1794. The office of Engers and Hammerstein remained part of the rest of the electoral state until the end of the electoral state in 1803 through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss
Official seat
The seat of the office was Kunostein Castle in Engers. This was demolished in the 18th century and Engers Castle was built.
