Hardisleben Office

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hardisleben office was a territorial administrative unit of the Ernestine duchies . It was formed from four locations in 1585/90 and expanded in 1735 to include the Weimar part of the Brembach bailiwick . The office belonged to the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar from 1585 to 1603, to the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg from 1603 to 1672 , then again to Saxony-Weimar and from 1741 to the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . After the elevation of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach to the Grand Duchy in 1815, the Hardisleben office was combined in 1817 with eleven towns in Electoral Saxony to form the Buttstädt office .

Until it was absorbed into the Buttstädt office in 1817, the office formed the spatial reference point for the collection of sovereign taxes and compulsory services , for the police , jurisdiction and military service .

Buttelstedt, Rohrbach, Nermsdorf and Niederreißen in the south of the administrative area are now part of the Weimarer Land district .

history

Hardisleben , first mentioned in a document in 1239 , went from the Counts of Orlamünde to the Landgraves of Thuringia from the House of Wettin after the Thuringian Count War in 1346 . When Leipzig was partitioned , Hardisleben was assigned to the Ernestine Electorate of Saxony in 1485 . After the Wittenberg surrender in 1547, the place became part of the Ernestine Duchy of Saxony and when Erfurt was partitioned in 1572 it became part of the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar .

In the middle of the 16th century the Hardisleben manor, to which the town of Teutleben also belonged, was owned by a Kurt von Mülich. In 1555 he bought the town of Eßleben , which was part of the Albertine office of Eckartsberga .

In 1585, the Hardisleben manor with the towns of Hardisleben, Teutleben and Eßleben was bought by Duke Friedrich Wilhelm of Saxony-Weimar . This added Mannstedt in 1590 . Together these four localities have since formed the "Amt Hardisleben", whereby Eßleben continued to be under the sovereignty of the Electorate of Saxony and as such also fell under the administration of the Amt Eckartsberga.

With the death of Duke Friedrich Wilhelm I in 1602, his younger brother Johann III. new regent of Saxe-Weimar. Since the sons of the late Friedrich Wilhelm I demanded their inheritance from him, the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg was separated for them in 1603 . The Hardisleben office was under its administration in the following decades until the older Sachsen-Altenburg line died out in 1672 and was temporarily owned by Rudolph Levin Marschall (until 1650). When the division now took place, the Hardisleben office belonged to the smaller part of Sachsen-Altenburg that went to Sachsen-Weimar. In 1679, after a fire, the castle and Vorwerk as well as large parts of the village of Hardisleben fell victim. The ducal box was built after 1700 under Duke Johann Ernst III. from Sachsen-Weimar to the pleasure palace for his wife.

In 1735 the Hardisleben office experienced a significant territorial expansion through the annexation of the part of the " Vogtei Brembach zu Buttelstedt", which remained in Saxony-Weimar in 1662, with the cities of Buttelstedt and Rastenberg , as well as the towns of Großbrembach , Nermsdorf , Niederreißen , Olbersleben and Rohrbach . In the 18th century, the city of Buttstädt and the aristocratic town of Guthmannshausen were still included in the office. With the union of the duchies of Saxony-Weimar and Saxony-Eisenach in 1741, the office of Hardisleben belonged to the duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach .

Due to the effects of the Congress of Vienna , the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach was elevated to a Grand Duchy in 1815 . This was associated with a number of territorial gains, including a. Parts of the Thuringian District of the Kingdom of Saxony . In 1817 the Hardisleben office was merged with ten places from the dissolved Eckartsberga office and one place belonging to the former Wendelstein office as an exclave to the Buttstädt office .
