history

The “Amt Grimma” had been in the possession of the Margrave of Meißen since the 13th century and, like the offices of Naunhof and Leipzig, which were adjacent to the west, was dependent on the Merseburg Monastery. After the division of Leipzig in 1485, the office belonged to the Ernestine line of the Wettins .

In 1487 the Naunhof office was merged with the Grimma estate. Since the defeat of the Ernestines in the Schmalkaldic War in 1547, the Grimma and Naunhof offices have been owned by the Albertines . After the secularization of the Nimbschen Monastery , the Grimma Office was divided into two independent administrative areas: the "Grimma Hereditary Office" and the " Grimma School Office ". The latter was set up for the economic maintenance of the newly built Princely School Grimma , for which it received eight villages from the property of the former Nimbschen monastery.

From 1829 the Erbrentamt Grimma was also responsible for the financial affairs of the education authority. In 1835, the Justice and School Justice Office in Grimma were combined. In 1856 the joint judicial office was dissolved and the Grimma court office took over the tasks .

The Naunhof Office

The "Amt Naunhof" had been in the possession of the Margrave of Meißen since the 13th century and was ecclesiastically dependent on the Merseburg Monastery. After the division of Leipzig in 1485, the office belonged to the Ernestine line of the Wettins . In 1487 the Naunhof office was merged with the Grimma estate. Since the defeat of the Ernestines in the Schmalkaldic War in 1547, the Grimma and Naunhof offices have been owned by the Albertines . Part of the Naunhof office had belonged to the Leipzig district office since 1550 .
