Kienitz office

The office of Kienitz was an electoral Brandenburg or later a royal Prussian domain office , which was formed in 1744 by separating it from the office of Wollup . The non-contiguous official area was in the area of ​​today's municipalities Letschin , Neutrebbin and Oderaue in the district of Märkisch-Oderland ( Brandenburg ). In 1801 the parts of the Zellin office to the west of the Oder were added. The seat of the office was the Vorwerk Kienitz, today Kienitz Nord. In 1874 the Kienitz office was dissolved.

history

The office of Kienitz emerged as an intermediate step from the monastery property (= secular property) of the Bishop of Lebus . After the last bishop of Lebus, Johann VIII. Horneburg, died in 1555, no new bishop was elected, but Joachim Friedrich von Brandenburg , the Protestant administrator of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg, took over the administration of the diocese of Lebus. Joachim Friedrich became Elector of Brandenburg in 1598. He dissolved the diocese of Lebus in 1598 and converted the Lebus monastery property into two electoral domain offices ( Lebus office and Fürstenwalde office ). In 1731 the office of Wollup was split off from the office of Lebus . In 1743 the Friedrichsaue office was again separated from the Wollup office , and another part was separated as the Kienitz office in 1744. In 1801 the Kienitz office received the part of the Zellin office west of the Oder . After 1805, individual communities were again split off and came to the offices of Zehden and Wriezen .
