Office Sangerhausen
The Amt Sangerhausen was an administrative unit in the Thuringian District of the Electorate of Saxony, which was converted into a kingdom in 1806 . Between 1657 and 1746 the office belonged to the Albertine secondary school principality of Saxony-Weißenfels .
Until it was ceded to Prussia in 1815, as a Saxon office it formed the spatial reference point for the collection of sovereign taxes and compulsory services , for the police , jurisdiction and military service .
history
Sangerhausen came into permanent possession of the Wettins in 1369 , who founded an administrative center here. In 1525 the office of Oberröblingen , which had previously belonged to the Counts of Stolberg , was merged with Sangerhausen.
The income from the Sangerhausen office was pledged to the Duke of Holstein in 1633 and to the Duke of Braunschweig- Lüneburg in 1730 .
From 1657 to 1746 the Office Sangerhausen belonged to the Albertine Sekundogenitur -Fürstentum Saxe-Weissenfels . The Electorate of Saxony, however, reserved the supervision of the writers in the offices left to the secondary school. The newly created Tennstedt district office took on this task for the offices of Langensalza , Sangerhausen and Weißensee in the Thuringian district .
In 1808 the offices of Artern , Bornstedt and Voigtstedt of the County of Mansfeld, which had been ceded to the Kingdom of Westphalia, were merged with Sangerhausen, and in 1815 the entire office was ceded to the Kingdom of Prussia .
The territory of the former office of Sangerhausen is now largely in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt , only a few places belong to the Free State of Thuringia .
