Office Kastellaun (Sponheim)
The Kastellaun office , at times also called the Kastellaun Upper Office , was an administrative and judicial district that belonged to the Hinteren Grafschaft Sponheim and existed from the late Middle Ages to the end of the 18th century. Haserich, Mörsdorf and Panzweiler are in what is now the district of Cochem-Zell , all the others in the Rhein-Hunsrück district in Rhineland-Palatinate .
history
The office of Kastellaun, like the entire Hintere Grafschaft, was under the joint rule of the Margrave of Baden and the Duke of Pfalz-Zweibrücken until the partition treaty of 1776 . When the rear county was divided, Duke Karl II of Pfalz-Zweibrücken (1746–1795) received, among other things, the office of Kastellaun and the sponheimischen part of the so-called tri - lordly area on the Hunsrück. After the Left Bank of the Rhine was taken by French revolutionary troops (1794), the canton of Kastellaun was established in the Saar department in 1798 , but its territorial status was not identical to that of the previous Sponheim office. Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna (1815), the entire area of the previous office of Kastellaun came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 .
Administrative division
As of 1790, the office of Kastellaun was divided into the town of Kastellaun, which also included some surrounding villages, as well as five “foster care”. Nursing was an administrative and judicial district headed by a nurse . The serfs were called “foster people”.
