Münnerstadt office

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Münnerstadt office was an office of the County of Henneberg and the Hochstift Würzburg .

history

The Henneberg Office consisted of Münnerstadt , Althausen and Wermerichshausen . With the "Hennebergische Hauptteil" in 1274 half of the office came to the Henneberg-Hartenberg, who sold this share in 1371 to the Henneberg-Aschach line. The other half came to the Henneberg-Schleusingen line after 1315 as part of the New Rulership of Henneberg . In 1354 Würzburg acquired the Henneberg-Schleusinger half.

In 1434, Würzburg pledged half of the office to the Counts of Henneberg-Aschach for 24,000 guilders . In 1486 the property of the Henneberger was divided again and Otto III. von Henneberg received the offices of Aschach and the share in Münnerstadt. Würzburg redeemed the pledge. In a settlement they agreed on the end of the pledge in 1490 and the appointment of Otto III. von Henneberg as bailiff. With Otto's childless death in 1502, the office reverted to Würzburg. In 1503 the two offices were pledged to Otto Voit von Salzburg and in 1510 to Georg von Herbstadt, both of whom were also appointed bailiffs.

Prince-Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn acquired through the Schleusinger Treaty in 1585 that part of the city that had not yet belonged to the clergymen from Würzburg. In 1586 Würzburg also acquired the missing share in the Burglauer Vogtei ; this was then administered with the Münnerstadt office. In 1583 the Würzburg part of Maßbach also came to office.

The statistics of the Hochstift Würzburg from 1699 name 514 subjects in one city and 5 villages. As annual revenues of the high pin out of office were taken away: estimate : 90 Reichstaler, excise and Ungeld : 626 fl and smoke pounds : 555½ pounds.

The main court

For centering Münnerstadt were 1,595 Althausen, Brno, Burghausen, Lauer, Fridritt, Haard, Kleinwenkheim, Münnerstadt, Nüdlingen, Reichenbach and Windheim. Maßbach belonged to Maßbacher Zent .

The main court was held in embarrassing matters outside the city at the stone gate at the main chair. In civil matters, the court met in the inn in Münnerstadt. Münnerstadt itself also had a separate city court. There was a kaak in Münnerstadt, and a pillory is also mentioned. The place of execution was originally west of the road to Burglauer. The field name "Galgeneller", 1600 meters northwest of the church, refers to this gallows. Later the gallows was moved further east on a hill near the Gehringsmühle. In 1614 ("under the court" and "under the gallows") and 1774 ("in the Rabast upper court" and "under the court on Rabestweg") field names are mentioned that refer to this place of execution.

resolution

After the transfer to Bavaria in 1802, the Münnerstadt office was canceled and the places assigned to the Münnerstadt district court .
