The office of Nordhalben 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 1802.

geography

The office, located in the northeast of the Bamberg dominion, was one of the smaller high estates offices. It was in the north-eastern part of a large Bamberg enclave , the capital of which was the city of Kronach . Its neighboring areas in Bamberg were the Teuschnitz office in the far north-west, the Kronach office in the west and the Wallenfels office in the southeast. Fremdherrische neighboring territories were the the Principality of Bayreuth belonging Office Lichtenberg in the east and the county county Reuss-Ebersdorf in the northeast.

history

The area of ​​the later office of Nordhalben formed a condominium during the late Middle Ages , which was under the joint rule of the Bamberg bishops and the bailiffs of Gera . After the Gera bailiffs died out in the middle of the 16th century, the Burgraves of Meissen claimed the previous share of the condominium as their heirs. In contrast, the Bamberg bishops were able to prevail with their legal opinion and claim the Gera condominium share as a revolted fiefdom . The Nordhalben area, which was now completely controlled by the Hochstift, subsequently formed a separate Bamberg office in its external borders, which were already defined in 1356. The existence of the office did not end until the beginning of the 19th century, after the bishopric of Bamberg was annexed by the Electorate of Pfalzbaiern .

structure

The administration of the Nordhalben office consisted of a Bailiwick Office , a Tax Office and a Centamt .

Official seat

The administrative headquarters of all offices was in the market town of Nordhalben .

Official staff

At the head of the administration was a bailiff , who also acted as central judge and tax collector . The official staff also included an official and a cent servant . In addition, there were also four mayors and eight councilors in the north halben, which was only under indirect Bamberg rule.

Bailiwick Office

The Vogteiamt Nordhalben was one of the 54  Vogteiamts of the Bamberg Monastery . Its bailiwick district encompassed the entire village markings of Nordhalben, which in addition to this market town also included the following localities:

The hamlet Buck Reuth and the wastelands Fichteramühle (Disposed yard on the left bank of the Nordhalbener Ködel ) Ködelberg , Neumühle , Regberg , Rüblesgrund , Stengelshof , armed mill (Disposed yard on the right bank of the Rodach ) and Wetthof .

As a mediat, Markt Nordhalben was only under indirect control of the bishopric of Bamberg, where village and community rulership was exercised jointly by this market town and the Vogteiamt Nordhalben. The full vogtei- and manorial rights exercised the Bailiwick office there only in those possessions, which were in direct ownership of the high pin. These rights were also fully exercised in the wastelands of Fichteramühle and Streitmühle, but the Vogteiliche authority was exercised jointly in all other localities in the north-halben village markings.

Centamt

The Nordhalben Centers Office was one of the 29 Centers offices of the Bamberg Monastery. Its high court district was identical to the entire bailiwick district of the Nordhalben office.

Tax office

The tax office Nordhalben was one of the 46 tax offices of the bishopric of Bamberg. The spatial scope of the tax office was congruent with that of the Nordhalbener Vogteiamt.

The economic importance of the office for the bishopric of Bamberg was relatively small, it was therefore listed as Amt I class (out of 5). The tax revenue of the tax office averaged 424 during the term of office of Peter Philipp von Dernbach (1672–1683) and 530 Franconian guilders per year during the term of office of Marquard Sebastian Schenk von Stauffenberg (1683–1693) .
