Office Jüterbog

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The administrative district of Saxony with its offices in the 18th century

The Bailiwick of Jüterbog was an administrative unit of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg in the High and Late Middle Ages . In the course of the 15th century, the term changed to Schloßamt (Jüterbog) or Amt Jüterbog . In 1635 the Jüterbog office was annexed by the Electorate of Saxony . From 1657 to 1746 it was part of the Duchy of Saxony-Weißenfels , fell back to the Electorate of Saxony in 1746 (Kingdom of Saxony from 1806) and was annexed by Prussia in 1815. In 1817 the Jüterbog office was dissolved and some tasks were taken over by the Zinna office. The area of ​​the office became part of the new Jüterbog-Luckenwalde district . Today the area of ​​the former office lies entirely within the Teltow-Fläming district ( Brandenburg ). In 1817 the Jüterbog office had 3,207 inhabitants.

Geographical location

Around 1800 the Jüterbog office bordered the city of Treuenbrietzen and the Zinna office in the north, the Dahme office in the east , the Niederseefeld exclave belonging to the Seyda office and the Bärwalde area , the Schweinitz and Seyda offices in the south and the Office Wittenberg and the Office Belzig as well as the Kurzlipsdorf exclave belonging to the Office Seyda .

history

The origin of the office, or the bailiwick, as the administrative unit was called in the late Middle Ages, lies in the dark. It probably goes back to the original Burgward, i. H. the area, which in the 12./13. Century under the castle at Jüterbog. It definitely belonged to terra Jüterbog, the land of Jüterbog , which was certainly larger. The extent to which the state of Jüterbog ultimately had is a matter of debate in research, but also irrelevant to the extent of the Jüterbog office.

The lost castle of Jüterbog was located northwest of today's suburb Damm, which arose as a suburbium of the castle. The Liebfrauenkirche there was the main church in the Jüterbog region. Today the area of ​​the castle, also referred to as a castle in late medieval documents, has been redesigned into a park area. The course of the old trenches can still be seen in the east, south-east and north. The actual city of Jüterbog was laid out east of the castle and the Suburbium dam and received city rights in 1174. In 1217 a bailiff and a mayor are named. In the further course of history, the Schulzenamt acquired sole municipal jurisdiction and the direct surrounding area belonging to the city (city court). The suburb of Damm and the surrounding area with the villages that originally belonged to Burgward remained subordinate to the Vogt (regional court). The city judge's office was given in 1310 by Archbishop Burhard II to Christian v. Hereditary granted to Klitzing. It was bought back to the castle in 1412. However, the city council had also received certain rights. He exercised full jurisdiction over the city corridor outside the ramparts and also claimed it on the streets, public squares, church and public buildings and stalls, but not over the old houses. He also exercised voluntary jurisdiction. With this mixture of responsibilities, there were often disputes between the Vogt and the city council, which the sovereign had to settle and decide often enough. From 1688 to 1701 the city council held the city court on a lease basis, and in 1751 the council was able to purchase the city judge's office. The city and regional court were combined to form the Jüterbog city and regional court in 1817.

In 1553 the four monastery villages (Dalichow, Höfgen, Kaltenborn and Lindow), d. H. assigned to the property of the (dissolved) Cistercian monastery in Damm. Within the Duchy of Saxony-Weißenfels, the offices of Jüterbog and Dahme formed the Jüterbog circle.

Scope of office

According to the scope of the office, which was documented only late in the 17th century, and taking into account its territorial losses due to cessions and village devastation, the following villages belonged to the Bailiwick of Jüterbog and later to the Office of Jüterbog:

Udersburg and the Abtshof in Jüterbog continued to build ; the three Vorwerke Kappan , Waldau and the outer bailey , the so-called castle domain . In addition, the office still had grain income in the villages of Sernow , Riesdorf , Mellnsdorf and Wölmsdorf . Wölmsdorf was a Prussian exclave within the official area.

The places of the archdiocese-Magdeburg, later Electoral Saxon office Jüterbog belong today to the communities Niederer Fläming , Nuthe-Urstromtal , Niedergörsdorf and the city of Jüterbog (all communities in the southern part of the district of Teltow-Fläming , Brandenburg ).

History of the office

In 1533 Archbishop Albert von Magdeburg sold the Jüterbog office to Lippold v. Klitzing. Klitzing became official governor in Jüterbog. In 1612 the places Fröhden and Markendorf were given to the family v. Klitzing delivered. After the traditional Prague recession of 1635, the ore monastery Magdeburg had to cede the offices of Jüterbog and Dahme to the Electorate of Saxony. This actually came about after the Diet of Calbe in 1638. With the establishment of the secondary school principalities in Saxony in 1657, the two offices came to the Duchy of Saxony-Weißenfels . In 1663 they were united with the Principality of Saxony-Querfurt . The Principality of Saxony-Querfurt was divided into the Querfurt District and the Jüterbog District. The Jüterbogische Kreis contained the two offices Jüterbog and Dahme . The line of the Weißenfels dukes expired in 1746 and the principality of Saxony-Querfurt (with the offices of Jüterbog and Dahme ) reverted to Electoral Saxony. In 1815 the city of Jüterbog and the office of Jüterbog were annexed by Prussia. In 1817 the Jüterbog office was dissolved and the administration of pensions was transferred to the Zinna office . The town of Jüterbog and the area of ​​the Jüterbog office came to the newly founded Jüterbog-Luckenwald district, later the Jüterbog-Luckenwalde district and the Jüterbog-Luckenwalde district .
