Commissarius loci
A commissarius loci (local commissioner) is a representative of a central administration ( Latin commissarius ) who supervises the administration in a remote unit on site ( Latin loci ). This title wore z. B. the civil servants who had been employed in Kurmark since 1680 and who supervised all urban affairs and authorities as well as controlled taxes, trade and commerce in the towns. This post had emerged from that of the War Commissioner , and the Commissarius loci still had his previous military powers in addition to the powers mentioned. From 1766 he had to give up the tax control, and in 1808 he lost the supervision of the city administration, which was now carried out by the district administrator, within the framework of the Stein city code .
