With the development of the administrative constitution in Wettin Saxony, the Tharandt office also came into being, the administrative seat of which was initially Tharandt Castle (grenades) and, from 1558, the newly built Grillenburg hunting lodge , which was renamed the Grillenburg office . The main place of the office, however, remained Tharandt, which developed from a patch into a town.

In the period from 1787 to 1828 the administration of the Grillenburg office was carried out from the mountain town of Freiberg, the seat of the Freiberg district office . As everywhere in the Electorate of Saxony, the judiciary and rent offices were established as separate departments from around 1784.

The Grillenburg office was finally dissolved after the middle of the 19th century after the classic split into the two independent authorities of the Grillenburg rent and justice offices had already occurred in 1831.
