Office Paulinzella

The Paulinzella office was a judicial and administrative district in the Schwarzburg-Rudolstädter Oberherrschaft with its seat in Paulinzella .

history

The Counts of Schwarzhausen exercised the bailiwick over the Benedictine Abbey Paulinzella, founded in 1106 . After the secularization of the compartment in 1543, the abbey was converted into the lordly office of Paulinzella. It was a Wettin fiefdom (Ernestine line). In 1657 Saxe-Gotha became a feudal lord. The feudal relationship was replaced in 1823.

In 1543 the office was owned by Schwarzburg-Blankenburg and from 1574 by Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt.

scope

The court included the places:

• Ellichleben (1848 at Stadtilm Office )
• Gösselborn
• Hengelbach
• Horba
• Milbitz
• Oberrottenbach
• Paulinzella
• To sing

tasks

The Paulinzella office was initially a court of first instance and at the same time a lower administrative authority. There was no separation of jurisdiction from administration .

The March Revolution also led in Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt to the demand for the abolition of the patrimonial courts and the separation of judiciary and administration.

On July 1, 1850, the organizational laws came into force, which fundamentally changed the judiciary. The legal basis was the law on the future administration of justice of May 1, 1850 and the law on the jurisdiction of courts and the appeal of civil disputes. The patrimonial courts were abolished and administration and jurisdiction separated.

The office was dissolved as part of this reorganization and its area was assigned to the Stadtilm office in terms of jurisdiction and the Rudolstadt district office in terms of administration .
