Oberamt Lichtenfels

The Lichtenfels office was an office of the Bamberg bishopric .

history

In 1141 the bishopric of Bamberg Lichtenfels acquired from Kunigunde Countess von Truhendingen. As part of the territorialization , the Lichtenfels Office was created.

With the transfer of the bishopric Bamberg to Kurpfalz-Bayern due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the office was dissolved in 1803 and mainly assigned to the regional court of the older order of Lichtenfels .

structure

The management of the Office Ebermannstadt consisted of a top official , a bailiff office , a tax office , a box office and a penny Office . The trunk formed a Vogt , at the same time as Cent Richter , Kastner , tax collector , Umgelder and forester acted.

The Lichtenfels office was also one of the last 18 senior offices of the Hochstift. This was not associated with any higher authority than other offices. In addition to the bailiff, there was also an upper bailiff from the local aristocracy in the upper offices. In the case of the Oberamt Lichtenfels, the Schrottenberg family typically provided this Oberamtmann. The office itself was largely a sinecure .
