Office Kronberg
The office Kronberg (also office Cronberg ) was a Kurmainzer and Nassau office with seat in Kronberg im Taunus .
When the Kronberg family died out, the Kronberg rule fell to Kurmainz in 1704. Kurmainz did not incorporate the newly acquired area into the neighboring Oberamt Königstein , but formed an independent office of Kronberg. It consisted of the town and castle Kronberg, Oberhöchstadt and Eschborn . Even after the administrative reform of 1782, the Kronberg office remained independent.
Religious conflicts arose between the Protestant population of the office and the Catholic electoral state. For this see Streitkirche .
After the end of the electoral state, the office fell with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss to Nassau-Usingen , which opened in 1806 in the Duchy of Nassau . In 1804 Falkenstein , Altenhain , Neuenhain , Schneidhain , Soden and Sulzbach were added to the Kronberg office.
In 1810 the office was dissolved and mostly added to the office of Oberursel .
organization
The office was headed by a bailiff . This office was co-administered by a member of the Kurmainzer Privy Council . The cellar and other administrative officials such as a clerk, forester and an official were on site.
