history

Haynsburg fell to the diocese of Naumburg-Zeitz in 1295 and 1305 respectively . A Vogt is first detectable in Haynsburg in 1466.

Haynsburg Office

After Leipzig was divided in 1485, the Naumburg-Zeitz bishopric and its offices came under the bailiwick of the Ernestine Electorate of Saxony. In the course of the introduction of the Reformation , the previous Catholic monasteries were dissolved. Since 1542 the bishopric was headed by a Protestant bishop.

Due to the Wittenberg surrender in 1547, the influence of the Ernestines on the bishopric of Naumburg-Zeitz against the now Albertine Electorate of Saxony decreased. The Albertine Duke and now Elector Moritz of Saxony received protection over the Naumburg-Zeitz monastery. After the death of the last Naumburg bishop Julius von Pflug in 1564, the bishopric and his offices passed to the Albertine Elector August I of Saxony as administrator. It thus became a subsidiary of the Electorate of Saxony, which was not assigned to a district of Electoral Saxony . Between 1656/57 and 1718 the Office for Haynsburg belonged wettinischen Sekundogenitur -Fürstentum Saxe-Zeitz . It was ruled from the newly built Moritzburg Castle on the Elster in Zeitz.
