The Ballei Alsace-Burgundy ( German Order ) comprised possessions in southwest Germany, Alsace and Switzerland .

Seat of the land commander

The Alsace-Burgundy Ballei was founded in 1220. The Landkomtur had its seat in Ruffach near Colmar in Alsace from 1235 to 1288 . The state commander settled in Beuggen near Rheinfelden from 1288 to 1455. From 1455 to 1806 Altshausen was the seat of the Landkomtur, who resided in the castle there.

At times the Ballei Swabia-Alsace-Burgundy was considered the richest Ballei of the Teutonic Order and, as the "Kammerballei", was directly subordinate to the Grand Master. Since the Thirty Years War , the castle has been converted into Altshausen Castle . Finally, in 1729, the construction of a spacious baroque palace complex according to the plans of the architect Johann Caspar Bagnato began . This construction project remained unfinished for financial reasons; an inlay work with an ideal view is in the Württemberg State Museum in Stuttgart . In 1774 construction work was stopped. Contrary to the original plan, the Gothic parish church of St. Michael was only redesigned in Baroque style, the planned horseshoe-shaped main building was not built.

The following comedians belonged to the Swabian-Alsace-Burgundy Ballei:

resolution

Most Swiss comers (with the exception of the Coming Basel) had already been lost during the Reformation . In the wars of the late 17th century, France also annexed the Alsatian soldiers. Since the Ballei formed both a spiritual and a secular rule, mediatization and secularization took place at the beginning of the 19th century, so that the Ballei was dissolved in 1806. Their property fell to different rulers (Württemberg, Bavaria, Baden etc.).
