history
Development of the Hochstift-Naumburg area around the city of Zeitz
In 1028, King Conrad II moved with the permission of Pope John XIX. and at the urging of his two brothers to in Zeitz seat of the company founded in the 10th century located diocese Zeitz to Naumburg (Saale) , which was given to the Bishopric in this course. However, a collegiate monastery remained in Zeitz .
After the Landgraviate of Thuringia fell to the Wettins in 1264, the Naumburg-Zeitz monastery was surrounded by Wettin sovereign territory. Under Bishop Bruno von Langenbogen , the bishopric was moved back to Zeitz in 1285. The official seat of the diocese remained in Naumburg.
Office Zeitz
After Leipzig was divided in 1485, the Naumburg-Zeitz bishopric and its offices came under the bailiwick of the Ernestine Electorate of Saxony. In the course of the introduction of the Reformation , the previous Catholic monasteries were dissolved. Since 1542 the bishopric was headed by a Protestant bishop.
Due to the Wittenberg surrender in 1547, the influence of the Ernestines on the bishopric of Naumburg-Zeitz against the now Albertine Electorate of Saxony decreased. The Albertine Duke and now Elector Moritz of Saxony received protection over the Naumburg-Zeitz monastery. After the death of the last Naumburg bishop Julius von Pflug in 1564, the bishopric and his offices were transferred to the Albertine elector August von Sachsen as administrator. It thus became a subsidiary of the Electorate of Saxony, which was not assigned to a district of Electoral Saxony . Between 1656/57 and 1718 belonged to the Office for Zeitz wettinischen Sekundogenitur -Fürstentum Saxe-Zeitz . It was ruled from the newly built Moritzburg Castle on the Elster in Zeitz.
With the appointment of the Electorate of Saxony to the Kingdom , the Zeitz office, which had in the meantime also incorporated the neighboring Haynsburg office , belonged to the Kingdom of Saxony from 1806 .
Dissolution of the Zeitz office and assignment to Prussia
In 1814, the monastery area was dissolved as part of the Kingdom of Saxony under Governor General Nikolai Grigoryevich Repnin-Volkonsky . After Napoleon's defeat , the Kingdom of Saxony, allied with him, had to cede a large part of its territory, including the Zeitz office, to the Kingdom of Prussia following the resolution of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 . The Zeitz office was largely assigned to the Zeitz district, newly formed in 1818, in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony .
