Balsamgau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Balsamgau even Gau Balcsem or Balsamer country , was called a medieval Liche Gaugrafschaft in the southeastern half of the later Altmark . It was north of Magdeburg between the rivers Milde-Biese-Aland and Elbe . The more recent research doubted its existence, rather it was in the 12./13. Recreated in the 19th century.

The Halberstadt episcopal chronicles contained an immunity privilege dated 814 for Louis the Pious for the corresponding diocese . Belkesheim appeared in its boundary description . Research evaluated the document as a complete forgery from the first half of the 11th century. The chronicle recorded the Balsamgau as part of the border confirmation by Benedict VIII , Pope of the Roman Catholic Church (1012-1024). This was also classified as a fake. In both cases she probably caused Arnulf , Bishop of Halberstadt (996-1023). The reason was in the year 1004 - the re-establishment of the Archdiocese of Magdeburg and the associated threat to the Halberstadt territory. In 1070 Gaugraf Wiprecht exchanged his inherited rule of Balsamgau with Margrave Udo II for the Groitzsch Castle in Osterland .

Most of the archdeaconates of the Halberstadt diocese emerged towards the end of the 11th century. In the Altmark, the final integration into the church structures was not achieved until after the middle of the 12th century. The balsam can was first mentioned in 1194. He filled most of the part of the diocese there. Tangermünde served as the seat . The Margrave of Brandenburg had the right to present it . The land register of Emperor Charles IV of 1375 showed the secular income on which the ecclesiastical official lived (elevations in Groß Ballerstedt , Klein Schwarzlosen and Miltern , 2- Hufen -Hof in the latter village ).
