history
The 1128 first mentioned Lords of Heldrungen were likely the builders of Heldrungen where situated on the decorations in the northeastern Thuringia Heldrungen . Friedrich, Edler Herr von Heldrungen († 1413), the Noble Heinrich von Heldrungen in 1417 and Agnes, Edle von Heldrungen in 1430 are mentioned as the last representatives of their noble family. Because of the support of the insurgent Flegler in the Flegler War , Friedrich V von Heldrungen was relieved of rule Heldrungen by Margrave Wilhelm II of Meissen in 1412 . In the following year he was stabbed to death by some farmers from Mackenrode . With Friedrich's sons, the lords of Heldrungen appear to have died out around 1443.
The rule of Heldrungen with Wiehe came to Count Heinrich von Hohnstein on January 8, 1413 . However, the Counts of Hohnstein only remained in possession of the rule until 1484. Heinrich's son Johann von Hohnstein-Heldrungen already sold the Heldrungen castle and rule for 18,000 Rhenish guilders to the Counts of Mansfeld , the last lords of Heldrungen.
The rule of Heldrungen was converted into a Mansfeld office. After it was placed under the Electoral Saxon Sequester in 1569, it was formally taken into possession in 1632 and united with Querfurt.
After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Heldrungen office fell completely to the Kingdom of Prussia and became part of the newly formed Duchy of Saxony with Merseburg as the new seat of government. The Prussian province of Saxony emerged from the duchy in 1816 , to whose administrative district Merseburg the former administrative area of Heldrungen belonged from then on.
