history

The office emerged from the lordships of Haltbergstetten and Laudenbach.

The place and Laudenbach Castle were owned by the Hohenlohe families and, after they died out, Finsterlohe . After their extinction in 1358, the property fell back to Würzburg as a settled fiefdom . In 1641 Melchior von Hatzfeldt received the property as a fief as thanks for his services in the Thirty Years' War . Since then it has been owned by the Hatzfeld family .

The core of the rulership of Haltbergstetten was Holdbergstetten Castle . This castle and the property connected with it belonged successively to the Lords of Hohenlohe, the Counts of Castell , the taverns of Limpurg and the Lords of Rosenberg . The Reformation was introduced in 1550 . Like Laudenbach, Melchior von Hatzfeldt received this property in 1641.

With Friedrich Karl Franz Cajetan, Prince of Hatzfeld-Gleichen-Trachenberg (1773–1794), the branch of the Hatzfeld family died out and both lords fell back to Würzburg as settled fiefs.

At the end of the Holy Roman Empire (HRR), the office consisted of the city of Niederstetten and the localities of Dunzendorf , Ermershausen , Hagen , Laudenbach , Neubrunn , Oberndorf , Rinderfeld , Staigerbach , Streichental and Wermetshausen as well as the condominium Vorbach -zimmer and Münster . It was an upper and central office.

After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 ownership passed to Hohenlohe-Jagstberg and later to the Kingdom of Württemberg .
