The Leienfels Office (or Leyenfels Office ) was an administrative area of ​​the Bamberg Monastery , an imperial territory in the Holy Roman Empire . The Bamberg Monastery, which was assigned to the Franconian Empire , was a clerical principality that existed until 1802.

geography

The office, located in the southeast of the Bamberg dominion area, was one of the smallest high esteem offices and was located on the southeast edge of its core area.

history

The castle and office of Leienfels were purchased by the Bamberg Monastery in 1502 when it was sold to the Bamberg bishop by the von Egloffstein family . The office remained in the possession of Hochstift until the annexation in 1802 .

structure

The administration of the Leienfels office consisted only of a Vogteiamt . The fiscal affairs in his bailiwick were taken care of by the tax office Gößweinstein .

Official seat

The seat of the official administration was originally at Leienfels Castle , which is a little northwest of the Leienfels district of Pottenstein and was first mentioned in 1372 under the name Lewenfels . After the castle fell into disrepair, a bailiwick house built below the castle became the administrative seat of the office. The last Vogt from Leinfels was also the bailiff of the Wolfsberg office and therefore had his residence in Wolfsberg .
