history
According to the old Hungarian tradition, the customs stations were called thirty offices . The name "thirty" came from the original collection of the "thirtieth part" of the value of a commodity as a customs duty . The customs officers were therefore given the names "thirties", thirties officials, upper thirties, thirty antagonists, etc. The officials mostly came from Hungarian nobles, were former Hungarian officers or sons of bourgeois patricians.
In the remote, difficult to access from the Hungarian side place that attracted economy of Steinmetz industry to other industries. Kaisersteinbruch became a transshipment point for border smuggling at the end of the 17th century , which is why a branch station for the royal thirtieth border customs was established. On market day , a census of the rulers in Königshof Palace brought 56 craftsmen and merchants to Kaisersteinbruch. The special location as a border town enabled lively trade in which smuggled goods were offered. For this reason, too, a thirty office was set up to get this development under control
In an ordinance dated August 27, 1696, issued by the Hungarian court chamber to the thirtieth office at Hof am Leithaberge , it is again pointed out that the Kaisersteinbrucher have to pay duty for their stones and the Heiligenkreuz Abbey is responsible for ensuring that they actually do so and get paid on time. However, since the ensuing sharper approach of the pin and the A kerkerung some recalcitrant of no avail, the pin of the Hungarian submitted Hofkammer the application, you may here itself a "Dreißigstamt" build such. This was done by Abbot Gerhard Weixelberger on July 5, 1705.
Own thirtieth office for the imperial quarry in 1708
This thirty-year office, consisting of heavily armed customs guards, was signed on August 14, 1708 in the Kaisersteinbruch house with conscription no. 4, where there is still an eagle on the ceiling today, a reminder of this office. The whole troop of this customs guard had to be well housed by the community, abundantly fed and all their special requests satisfied. In addition to high fines and prison fines, this action resulted in one death.
The thirties had to be able to read and write. Knowledge of three languages (German, Hungarian, Croatian) was a basic requirement for admission in the area of the Scharfenegg rule and in the neighboring counties of Preßburg , Hungarian Altenburg and Ödenburg . Around 1680 to 1700, 80 percent of the thirtieth civil servants were Germans, 10 percent Croats , 5 percent Hungarians and 5 percent Italians. The headquarters of the 1930s in the Scharfenegg domain was Hof am Leithaberge, with one branch each in Sommerein and Mannersdorf .
Day and night the thirties ... guard all 9 Weg and Prugken ... and blackening ... (betrayal of the patrols) ... hold up . Because of the cold that night, the 30th Office could not call on watch at any time. Business people came to the border crossings to buy the smuggled goods . A thirtieth official wrote ... in the market Hungarisch Steinbruch , Sommerein and Mannersdorf (are) a lot of trade Leuth, Christians and Jews, launderers and German nation, who are replacing goods from the Viennese and urban merchants, with spices, leather, Polish rock salt, soaps, Lights, irons, and other things, in Hungary and in many other countries outside Hungary, Austria ... and never register for the thirtieth office.
