history

The Churrätisches Reichsgutsurbar was probably drawn up between November 842 and July 843 as a preparatory work for the Treaty of Verdun. This is about the division of the empire between Ludwig the German and Karl the Kahlen and Lothar . For today's historical research, the Churrätisches Reichsgutsurbar is of excellent source value. The original has not been preserved; fragments from this directory have been preserved as copies by the Swiss humanist Aegidius Tschudi . This was based on a copy from the 10th and 12th centuries.

In Urbar houses, churches and usable rights are listed, the four "ministeria" belonged, namely, that the "Ministry vallis Drusianae" the Walgau in Vorarlberg includes the "Ministry in Planis" that the upper Alps Rheinthal below the Landquart comprises the "Ministry in Tuverasca", which includes the Vorderrheinthal above Churs and the "Ministry in Impedinis", which includes Tiefencastel and Oberhalbstein . A land register from the Pfäfers monastery is attached to the “ministerium in planis” . Between the “ministry in Tuverasca” and the “ministry in Impedinis” there is a section that lists the royal interest (“census regius”) from eight ministries and other monetary income. The Walgau district is not mentioned among the eight administrative districts. The king's interest due here is already listed at the end of the description of the goods. The other three ministries are listed, as well as five others. These are Tumilasca, today's Domleschg , Chur, Bergell , the Upper Engadine and the “ministerium Remedii”, which corresponds to the Lower Engadine . The land register is therefore incomplete, as the end of the section in Impedinis is missing, as is the complete list of the goods of five ministries.

In the area of ​​today's Principality of Liechtenstein , which, together with Werdenberg and Sargans, formed the northernmost part of the Gasterland and the Bündner Herrschaft as a "ministerium in planis", the places Schaan ("Scana", "Scanaua", "Schana"), Balzers ("Palazoles"), Eschen ("Essane") and Mäls each mentioned for the first time.

From what is now South Tyrol are the places Morter in the Vinschgau ( "in Venustis in villa Mortario") and Nals ( "villa Nalles") in Burggrafenamt called.
