Office Kühndorf

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kühndorf office and the Benshausen district court together formed administrative units of the Electorate of Saxony, which was converted into a kingdom in 1806 . This Albertine-Saxon part of the prince- duchy of Henneberg was passed to the Prussian Duchy of Saxony in 1815 and to the administrative district of Erfurt in the newly formed Prussian province of Saxony through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna . As early as 1680, the Benshausen Tithe Court, which was directly adjacent to the Kühndorf office, was incorporated into the Kühndorf office.

The office Kühndorf was originally part of the Henneberg-Romanhildischen office Schwarza, which was divided after the death of the last Count of Henneberg-Römhild in 1549. The district of Schwarza and the associated deserted area of ​​Schwadenbach were given to the Counts of Stolberg , the rest of the official territory to the Counts of Henneberg-Schleusingen, who moved the official seat from Schwarza to Kühndorf.

Geographical expansion

The area of ​​the district Kühndorf was in the southwest of the Thuringian Forest not far from the Werra valley between Meiningen and Suhl . The office was traversed by the Hasel , a tributary of the Werra.

After the cession of the former main town of Schwarza in 1549 to the County of Stolberg-Stolberg , it became an exclave in the middle of the office and was not added again to its surrounding area administratively until 1815. The former official area is now in the south of the Free State of Thuringia and, apart from the districts of Mäbendorf , Dietzhausen and Wichtshausen of the independent city of Suhl, belongs to the district of Schmalkalden-Meiningen .
