Lauterstein office
The Lauterstein office was a territorial administrative unit of the Electorate of Saxony in the Erzgebirge district .
Until the end of the Saxon constitution of offices in 1856, it was the spatial reference point for the demand for sovereign taxes and compulsory services , for the police , jurisdiction and army successes .
Geographical expansion
The area of the Office Lauterstein is located in the central Erzgebirge east of Marienberg between the Black Pockau and the upper reaches of the Flöha . In the south the office bordered the Kingdom of Bohemia .
The exclave of the " Einsiedler Wald " with its two and a half places was east of Neuhausen / Erzgeb. between the Flöha in the north and the Schweinitz in the south. It was enclosed in the north, west and south by the Purschenstein rule (from 1696 part of the Freiberg district office ). In the east it bordered the Kingdom of Bohemia .
In 1830, this exclave with the Frauenstein office was exchanged for their exclave " Hirschberger Wald" in the Seiffener Winkel east of Olbernhau with its three towns and two mills. This exclave was separated in the north by the Flöha from the Pfaffroda dominion , which before 1650 belonged to the Purschenstein dominion . In the east, the exclave bordered the Purschenstein rule, which, like the Pfaffroda rule, came to the Freiberg district office from 1696. In the south and west, the Schweinitz formed the border to the Bohemian municipality of Brandau . The district of Brandau in the Kingdom of Bohemia separated the exclave “Hirschberger Wald” from the area of the Lauterstein (Olbernhau) district.

history
The first owners of the Lauterstein office were the lords of Schellenberg in the 13th century . From 1275 to 1293 there was a feud between Heinrich and Ulrich von Schellenberg and the Altzella monastery near Nossen . This dispute, known as the " Schellenberger Feud ", ended in 1319 with the devastation of the Altzella monastery property by Heinrich von Schellenberg. Thereupon the Reichsministeriale von Schellenberg was ostracized and their property was confiscated. As a result, rule with Lauterstein Castle and the town of Zcobelin ( Zöblitz ) was lent to the Burgraves Albrecht von Altenburg and Otto von Leisnig in 1323 . In 1434 Kaspar von Berbisdorf bought the Lauterstein estate for 4,000 guilders from the previous owners. Since the division of Leipzig in 1485, the area was Albertine . The Lauterstein office was established in 1559 after Elector August of Saxony forced the cession of the castle and the Lauterstein lordship through purchase. In 1639 the castle was set on fire by Swedish horsemen during the Thirty Years War and was not rebuilt afterwards. As a result, the official seat was moved to Zöblitz.
In 1653 the village of Deutscheinsiedel in the east bordering Purschenstein estate was flooded . The portion of the town east of Neuhausen / Erzgeb bought by the Saxon elector . with the Einsiedler Revier and the Clausnitz Forest came as an exclave to the Lauterstein office . Around 1660, Bohemian religious refugees ( exiles ) founded Neuwernsdorf and Rauschenbach in this exclave .
In 1830 there was an exchange of territory between the offices of Frauenstein and Lauterstein. The Lauterstein office received the Hirschberg Forest east of Olbernhau as an exclave with the foundations of exiles in Hirschberg , Oberseiffenbach , Niederseiffenbach , the electoral portion of Deutschkatharinenberg (2 residential buildings) and the two mills Nieder- and Oberlochmühle . In return, the Frauenstein office received the electoral share from Deutscheinsiedel and the Einsiedel forest district with the Clausnitz Forest and the exile towns of Neuwernsdorf and Rauschenbach .
Shortly before the office was dissolved, in 1832 Nieder-Haselbach and Neuhaselbach were added from the Wolkenstein office to the Lauterstein office.
