Hohenlohe Office
The Hohenlohe office was a widely scattered medieval property complex of the Lorch monastery , which was named after the hamlet of Hohenlohe on the Härtsfeld but could also stand for the Hohenlohe region .
history
The office was mentioned for the first and last time in 1471, when the Lorch Monastery under Abbot Nikolaus sold the property complex to the Teutonic Order of Kapfenburg . The sale was documented by Count Ulrich V von Württemberg as an informant . Today nothing is known about the origins of the office and it is a mystery how the office is connected to the town of Hohenlohe. No castle or the like is known here from whose rule the office could have arisen.
In its territory, the Hohenlohe office held the right to table , the church rate , jurisdiction and other sovereign rights.

The Hohenlohe office extended over the entire Härtsfeld and beyond into the southwestern Ries . There were possessions in the following places:
- Auernheim

Goods of the monastery that were already sold earlier, which probably also belonged to the Hohenlohe office, are the deserted areas Fachsenberg near Elchingen (sold in 1313 to the Neresheim monastery ) and Rudelsberg near Schnaitheim (sold in 1431 to the county of Helfenstein ).
