Office Hötensleben

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hötensleben office was an administrative and judicial district in what is now the Börde district in Saxony-Anhalt .

The establishment of the Hötensleben office is closely linked to the Hötensleben castle . This was first mentioned in a document in 1016 and formed the core of the rule over the area. In the course of history, the clerical and secular rulers changed. While the castle fell into disrepair at the end of the Middle Ages and lost its military importance, official structures developed. In 1475 Johann von Bartensleben received the office of Archbishop Johann von Magdeburg for 5,100 guilders . On April 21, 1549, the castle and the office passed to Hans “the rich” from the von Bartensleben family and to his brother Jobst. After his death, the office fell back to the Archdiocese of Magdeburg as a settled fief. In 1816 Albert von Arnstedt is named as the owner. In 1645 Hans Christoph von Königsmarck , field marshal in the Swedish service, bought the village and office of Hötensleben for 32,000 Reichstaler . In 1662 Friedrich II of Hessen-Homburg acquired the village and office of Hötensleben. The office in the Duchy of Magdeburg remained in the possession of Hesse-Homburg until the end of the HRR . In 1718, Kasimir Wilhelm received from Hessen-Homburg as part of an inheritance dispute with his brothers Dorf and Amt Hötensleben and had the dilapidated castle expanded into a small residence.

At the end of the HRR, the office consisted of the places Hötensleben , Ausleben , Barneberg , the Vorwerk Neuenbau, the Offleber Krug and the villages of Ohrsleben , Wackersleben and Warsleben .

With the Reich Deputation House decision , Hessen-Homburg was mediatized in 1803 and the Hötensleben office fell to Hessen-Darmstadt . With the Peace of Tilsit in 1807, the office became part of the Kingdom of Westphalia and was assigned to the Neuhaldensleben district there . After the Congress of Vienna it became part of the Haldensleben district .

The official structure of the Hötensleben office was even reflected in the district reform in the GDR in 1950 : the communities Ausleben, Barneberg, Hötensleben, Ohrsleben and Wackersleben, i.e. the core of the former office, moved from the Haldensleben district to the Oschersleben (Bode) district .
