Office Sittichenbach
The Amt Sittichenbach (in earlier times also short Sichem ) was a relatively small administrative unit of the Electorate of Saxony, which was converted into a kingdom in 1806, in the Thuringian district . 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 .

The office of Sittichenbach extended in the north of the Thuringian Basin . The main seat of the office was the former Cistercian monastery Sittichenbach , founded in 1141 and secularized by the Reformation in 1540 .
history
The Cistercian monastery of Sittichenbach, which was secularized after the Reformation in 1540, fell to the Counts of Mansfeld and, due to enormous debts, was ceded by them to the Electors of Saxony in 1612.
From 1657 to 1746 the Office Sittichenbach for Albertine belonged Sekundogenitur -Fürstentum Saxe-Weissenfels , which is from 1686 in terms of the economy and the Principality of Justice Sachsen-Querfurt shelter.
The Sittichenbach office was one of those areas that the Kingdom of Saxony , which existed from 1806, had to cede completely to the Kingdom of Prussia after the Congress of Vienna in 1815 . In the resulting Prussian province of Saxony , the Sittichenbach office (subdivided into Rent and Justice Office) was finally dissolved in 1821, although the Justice Office had already been co-administered by the Querfurt office . The tasks of the Sittichenbach office went to the newly formed Querfurt district office.
