Office Sielow

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Office Sielow (older also Office Sylow and Office Silow ) was an electoral Brandenburg domain office with the official seat in Sielow (today a district of the city of Cottbus , Brandenburg). It was established before 1581, and merged and dissolved with the Cottbus Office around 1780. It comprised only three villages and was mostly leased in the 17th century.

Associated places and geographic location

The three villages belonged to the Amt Sielow:

The official area was a contiguous area northwest of today's old town of Cottbus. Today Sielow is part of the city of Cottbus. Diessen and Striesow are districts of the municipality of Dissen-Striesow , whose official business is performed by the Burg / Spreewald office .

history

The Amt Sielow was established shortly before 1581 with the acquisition of the village Sielow by the Brandenburg Elector Johann Georg von Christoph von List. In 1581 it is already described as existing. The income was originally intended to be used to maintain the Peitz Fortress. In 1591 the place Striesow was bought by Christoph von Kottwitz zu Willmersdorf , and finally in 1607 the place Dissen was bought by von Muschwitz. According to Gerhard Krüger, Striesow was sold to the Brandenburg Elector shortly after 1581 by Christoph von List.

The lords of Cottbus and Peitz belonged to the Neumark, but the three offices of Cottbus, Peitz and Sielow were subordinate to the Kurmärkische Kammer. They are therefore listed under the Kurmark.

From 1614 to 1620 the office was leased to Governor Wichmann von Winterfeld, who had to pay an annual lease of 1400 thalers. The rent increased in 1621 to 2000 and from 1622 to 2300 thalers. From 1624 to 1627 it was leased to the Elector of Brandenburg court musician Martin Krüger and citizen of Cottbus, who paid 2666 thalers 16 groschen a year. Krüger was then able to acquire the place Frauendorf from Hans and Siegmund von Loeben, the sons of Abraham von Loeben. After that, the Sielow office came into the possession of the Brandenburg Privy Councilor Adam von Schwarzenberg ( de iure hypothecae ) until 1643 . The lease payments were not canceled. From 1643 to 1651 Lieutenant General Hans Caspar von Klitzing received the Sielow office against an advance payment of an unknown amount. Subsequently, the chief hunter, Jobst Gerhard von Hertefeld, paid a sum of 26,000 Reichstaler in advance and received the office of Sielow until 1668. After that, the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm left the office of Sielow to his second wife, Duchess Dorothea von Braunschweig and Lüneburg , who received it from 1669 for 2200 Reichstaler until 2576 Reichstaler leased. As early as 1748, the Sielow office was leased together with the Kottbus office . In 1780 it was then completely dissolved and integrated into the Kottbus office. In 1783 the three villages that were combined in the Amt Sielow had 1,479 inhabitants.
