history

The territory of the Nossen office emerged from the ownership of the Altzella monastery in the year of secularization in 1540 and is identical to the former monastery property with the exception of a few villages that were added to the Freiberg district office . It was made up of the closed foundation area south and west of the Freiberg Mulde from 1162 and many exclaves north of the Mulde in the territory of the Meißen district office . These localities or parts of localities are the result of monastic land acquisitions and donations from the landed gentry to the Altzella monastery. They were thereby removed from the jurisdiction of the Meißen district office .

The Nossen office was established in 1544 at the instigation of the sovereign and dissolved in October 1856. The lower and the higher jurisdiction were now taken over by the newly established court office Nossen. The Nossen office belonged to the Erzgebirge district until 1835 and was then assigned to the newly formed Leipzig district directorate . In 1836 the villages of the Arnsdorf dominion , which were enclaves of the Leisnig office in the Nossen office, were integrated into the Nossen office by surrounding them.

Associated places

The office was named after the city of Nossen , and the cities of Roßwein and Siebenlehn also belonged to the office. In addition to these three official cities, four written places (Augustusberg, Böhrigen, Gersdorf, Obergruna) and 54 direct official villages belonged to the Nossen office in 1764.
