Remlingen Office

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The office of Remlingen was an office of the Counts of Wertheim and later one of the Grafschaft Castell and the Hochstift Würzburg .

Wertheim Office

1409 is documented that the bailiff from Wertheim held court in Remlingen. In 1424 a separate bailiff was named in Remlingen for the first time. The Remlingen Office must therefore have been set up between these two years. With Count Michael III. the Counts of Wertheim died out in the male line in 1556. Uettingen fell as an inheritance to the Landschad von Steinach and thus left office. The rest of the office was divided. The Castellic Office now consisted of half of Remlingen , Billingshausen , Oberaltertheim and Unteraltertheim . The rest of the office came to Löwenstein-Wertheim as the Remlingen office .

In 1594 this comprised half of half of Remlingen, Erlenbach , Helmstadt , Holzkirchen , Holzkirchhausen , Kembach , Lengfurt , Marktheidenfeld , Tiefenthal , Waldbüttelbrunn and Wüstenfeld .

After 1612 the office only consisted of half of Remlingen and Kembach.

Würzburg Office

In 1612 the office of Löwenstein-Wertheim fell with the exception of Remlingen and Kembach. It was nevertheless designated as Remlingen Office. In 1614 Würzburg gave Helmstadt a fief to Haller von Hallerstein . Waldbüttelbrunn appears for the last time in the accounts of the Remlingen office in 1686 and must then have left office.

In 1686/87, as part of an administrative simplification, the administration of the Remlingen office was transferred to the official of the Homburg am Main office . The Remlingen office still lists the hereditary homage book from 1748, after which it is no longer mentioned separately in the statistics.

Castellisches Amt

The Castellic Office was expanded to include the Steinbach office near Würzburg (Count Heinrich IV zu Castell acquired the village in 1589 ) and the Castell property in Duttenbrunn and existed in this form until the end of the HRR .

Cent Remlingen

The Würzburgische Cent Remlingen comprised the following places: Billinghausen, Birkenfeld (capture right at Cent Rothenfels ), Eisingen , Erlenbach, Greußenheim (capture right at Cent Rothenfels), Hettstadt , Helmstadt, Holzkirchen, Holzkirchhausen, Kembach, Lengfurt, Mädelhofen , Margetshöchheim , Marktheidenfeld, Neubrunn , Remlingen, Roßbrunn , Tiefenthal, Üttingen, Unteralterheim, Waldbrunn , Wenkheim and Wüstenzell. In Billinghausen, Remlingen and Unteralterheim, Castell and Würzburg shared the cent rights.

The main court was held three times a year in the town hall of Remlingen. The field names "Am Galgenberg" and "Unterm Galgenberg", both about 1000 meters east-northeast of the market square, indicate the place of execution.

Würzburg official castle

The Würzburg official seat (today's address: Altes Schloß 6) was the Würzburg official seat until it was relocated to Homburg. It was originally a late medieval, regular four-wing complex from around 1400. After 1408 the property was expanded, now divided into peasant properties and completely redesigned. Remains of the castle, three round corner towers and parts of the fortifications have been preserved. The mentioned remains are under monument protection.

The former Castell'sches Amtshaus (today's address: Untere Gasse 1) is a two-story, plastered mansard half-hipped roof building from the 18th century. Today it is used as a residential building and is a listed building.
