history

The Hayn office emerged at the end of the 14th century from the old Hayn care facility . The official area is an old Margrave property, a margrave bailiff can be traced back to 1220. Until 1451, the office also had jurisdiction over the city of Hayn (Großenhain), but then passed it on to the city council. After the division of Leipzig in 1485, the office belonged to the Albertine line of the Wettins . In 1550 the village of Fichtenberg was ceded by the Hayn office to the Mühlberg office . From 1770 to 1814, the Moritzburg office was co-administered from Großenhain . Business and accounting as well as the registry of the two offices remained separate. The division of departments into justice and rent offices existed since around 1784, whereby the division into two independent authorities did not take place until 1831.

Through the treaties of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the northern parts of the administrative area were subordinated to the Liebenwerda district . From the remaining areas in 1855 several court districts and 1874 were Amtshauptmannschaft Großenhain formed.

The tasks of the justice office were taken over by the court office in Großenhain in 1856. The Grossenhain Rent Office was merged with the Moritzburg Rent Office in 1856. The official seat was Moritzburg. The Moritzburg Forestry Department took over its duties in 1865.
