Dompropstei Kucklow

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dompropstei Kucklow existed from the 17th century to 1811 as a district in Pomerania . It had emerged from the medieval office of provost of the cathedral chapter of Cammin .

history

The cathedral chapter at Camminer Cathedral was founded after Bishop Konrad I von Salzwedel had moved the seat of the Pomeranian diocese from Wollin to Cammin in 1175 . At the head of the cathedral chapter stood the provost . The provost of Cammin appears for the first time in a document from 1186/1187, with which Duke Bogislaw I of Pomerania transferred the Nikolaikirche and the castle in Lebbin to the provost. The first provost of the cathedral was Siegfried , who became Bishop of Cammin in 1186.

After the Reformation in the Duchy of Pomerania , the cathedral chapter of Cammin - now evangelical - was retained as an institution, as was the cathedral provost. The positions of the members of the cathedral chapter were now awarded by the sovereign to persons to whom he wanted to send the associated income. This is particularly evident in an ironic letter King of the Great Frederick at its General Friedrich Ehrenreich Ramin , in which he offered him in 1773 the vacated Dompropstei, "bore me General Ramin much like a Domprobst happens" and he at "a very able Domprobst of the Berlin garrison ".

The Dompropstei was separated from the cathedral chapter in its property and its administration. The Dompropstei had extensive property, to which several villages belonged in whole or in part, as well as farms and forest districts. After the village of Kucklow , which was part of the Dompropstei , it was called Dompropstei Kucklow , in a different spelling also Dompropstei Kuckelow .

With the formation of circles in Pomerania in the 17th century, the Kucklow Dompropstei formed its own, admittedly very small, circle. She was one of three so-called prelate circles in Pomerania, the rest were the cathedral monastery Cammin and the cathedral monastery Colberg . These circles primarily served to collect taxes, the so-called contributions . Own district administrators and own Kreisständehaus the prelate circles had not. The prelates formed the first estate of the East Pomeranian estates and made up the directory of the estates.

On the basis of a royal edict of October 30, 1810, all remaining Protestant monasteries and cathedral monasteries in Prussia were confiscated in favor of the state's assets. The confiscation of the property of the Kucklow Cathedral Provosty took place in 1811, the final amalgamation of the property of the Cathedral Provosty with the state assets continued until 1818. At that time the post of Provost was not occupied. Because the penultimate owner, Field Marshal Wichard von Möllendorff , had given it to the Minister Count Karl Georg von Hoym in 1796 and demanded it back for himself when he died in 1807. The Prussian tax authorities, however, were of the opinion that the Dompropstei was finished and could be re-assigned. A legal dispute was conducted about this, which was not concluded until 1811.

At the end of 1811, the areas of the prelate circles were assigned to other circles, such as the area of ​​the Kucklow Dompropstei to the Flemming circle . This meant that, before the district reform carried out in Pomerania at the end of 1817 , three small districts had already ceased to exist.
