Office Marktschorgast

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The parish village of Marktschorgast , the former administrative seat of the Marktschorgast office
The territory of the Bamberg Monastery

The Marktschorgast office was an administrative area of ​​the Bamberg bishopric , a direct imperial territory in the Holy Roman Empire . The Bamberg Monastery, which was assigned to the Franconian Empire , was a clerical principality that existed until the beginning of the 19th century.

geography

The office, located in the northeast of the Bamberg dominion area, was one of the smaller high estates and , when viewed from Bamberg , also one of the most remote. Its territory around Marktschorgast extended in an elongated form into the southwestern part of the Franconian Forest and is still densely wooded and very sparsely populated today. One of the few larger localities is the village (Wasser-) Knoden , which was a Slavic local foundation and came into the possession of the Bamberg Cathedral Foundation around 1071 from a Schweinfurt foundation . Another is the Waldhufendorf Gundlitz , whose identifier derived from "Gundoltes" indicates a German settlement that was probably founded in the 11th or 12th century. The Marktschorgaster office was almost completely enclosed by the Brandenburg-Bayreuth Oberland . These were the four Oberland offices of Wirsberg in the west, Berneck in the south, Gefrees in the southeast and Stammbach in the northeast. Only in the north-west did the Marktschorgast office border on the Bamberg office of Kupferberg as well as on some imperial nobility territories that belonged to the canton of the mountains of the Franconian knight circle .

history

The area of ​​the later office of Marktschorgast came into the possession of the bishopric at the beginning of the 12th century. The area was a real deforestation rule that was owned by the von Schorgast noble family . It is considered certain that the Bamberg bishopric was able to acquire this territory from the hands of this noble family, which can be proven between 1100 and 1166. In 1109 it is called “Schorgast with church, market, tithe and the borders called 'Lachen' ”, which was owned by the Bamberg collegial monastery of St. Jakob , which belonged to St. Jakob .

A treaty concluded in 1260 for the inheritance of the Duchy of Merania , which died out in 1248 , brought challenges to the Bamberg rule over the Schorgast market. A Meran ministerial had resided there since 1222, but in the year of his death, Otto VIII , the last Meran duke, had granted the bishopric in 1248 the freedom from preferential rulership. In connection with the turmoil caused by the Merano succession dispute, the then Vogt von Weida built a castle there, but he had to hand it over to the Bamberg bishop in 1293 on the instructions of the Roman-German King Adolf von Nassau . In the Bamberg land register of 1323/27, Schorgast Castle and Market were listed together with some settlements in the vicinity as high estates, and in 1337 an episcopal judge of the “Marktschorgast Neck Court” was named. The high court district of this neck court reached out much further to the east than was the case with the bailiwick of the later office of Marktschorgast. The areas of Wundenbach , Zettlitz , Neuenreuth and Metzlersreuth belonged to this area, which reached to the foot of the Fichtelgebirge , so that the two customs offices of Gefrees and Stammbach were also included. The parishes of Gefrees and Stammbach also have their origins in daughter churches of Marktschorgast.

The loss of the eastern areas of the Marktschorgast Neck Court took place in the context of the expansion efforts of the Nuremberg burgraves . In the course of the 14th century these had become part of the territorial ownership of the noble families of the von Hirschberg and the von Feulner families . The objection raised by the Bamberg side was unsuccessful, the bishopric only succeeded in having rule over Wasserknoden , Pulst , Ober- and Mittelpöllitz , Ziegenburg , Gundlitz and Falls confirmed in the Forchheim Treaty in 1538 .

During the 15th century the manor Marktschorgast had developed out of old Bamberg castle estates , which had been given to the noble family von Wallenroth as a fief by the bishopric . During 1739 were carried out escheat this manor 's were manorial components as office management Marktschorgast incorporated into the hochstiftische office. This also applied to the von Wallenroth manor, which had fallen back in 1659 , but which was in the high court district of the Berneck office, as well as to the Ziegenburg manor , acquired by the bishopric in 1709 , which had belonged to the von Lindenfels family. The Grünstein Office and the Ziegenburg Office Administration were set up for these two manors .

structure

The administration consisted of a Bailiwick Office , a Tax Office and a Centamt . The manorial affairs in the entire district were taken care of by the Stadtsteinach caste office , as was the case with the Kupferberg office .

Official seat

The administration of the Marktschorgast office was housed in the office of the bailiff, which was owned by the Stadtsteinach caste office.

Official staff

At the head of the official administration was a Vogt , also known as penny judges , tax , customs , Aufschlag- , Umgeld- and Akziseinnehmer acted. The bailiff was supported in his official business by an official who also worked as a cent and court servant . In addition, a forester , a mining authority administrator and an official messenger belonged to the administrative staff.

Bailiwick Office

The Vogteiamt Marktschorgast was one of the 54  Vogteiamts of the Bamberg Monastery . The bailiwick of the Marktschorgast office comprised the following village markings and localities:

Falls, Grundmühle , Grünstein (disputed with the Brandenburg-Bayreuth department Gefrees), Gundlitz, Lützenreuth (disputed with the Brandenburg-Bayreuth department Berneck), Mooshof , Pulst, Thalmühle , Wasserknoden, Weißenbach and Ziegenburg.

Centamt

The Centamt Marktschorgast (also called "Halsgericht Marktschorgast") was one of the 29 Centamts of the Bamberg Monastery. Its high court district comprised the following village markings and localities:

Falls, Grundmühle, Gundlitz, Mittelpöllitz (exercise of village and community rulership by the Berneck Bailiwick ), Mooshof, Oberpöllitz (exercise of village and community rulership by the Guttenberg Castle Court ), Pulst, Thalmühle, Wasserknoden, Weißenbach and Ziegenburg.

Tax office

The Marktschorgast tax office was one of the 46 tax offices of the Bamberg monastery. The spatial scope of the tax office was congruent with that of the Marktschorgast Vogteiamt.

The economic importance of the office for the bishopric of Bamberg was relatively minor. It belonged to the offices with the lowest economic yield and was therefore led to the end of the 17th century as Amt I class (out of 5). The tax revenue of the tax office averaged 629 during the term of office of Peter Philipp von Dernbach (1672–1683) and 425 Franconian guilders per year during the term of office of Marquard Sebastian Schenk von Stauffenberg (1683–1693) (with a total average of all offices of 2290 or . 1943 Franconian guilder).
