The Evangelical Superintendentur AB Asch was a diocese of the Evangelical Church AB in Austria , which existed from 1869 to 1918.

organization

The seat of the superintendent in charge of the superintendent was in Asch (today Aš). It was not divided into any seniorate and consisted of three parishes in the Ascher Ländchen . Despite this comparatively small number, almost 30,000 believers belonged to the Ascher superintendent in 1913.

history

The Ascher Ländchen belonged to the Lords of Zedtwitz as an imperial fief , under whose protection the Protestant communities that emerged during the Reformation were able to survive the Counter-Reformation . When the area became part of the lands of the Bohemian Crown at the end of the 18th century , special religious rights were agreed. For a long time, the parishes were not incorporated into the Evangelical Church AB in Austria, but formed an independent inspectorate directly subordinate to the Lieutenancy in Prague , which was appointed by the Counts of Zedtwitz. Their church sovereignty ended in 1869 with the establishment of the Evangelical Superintendentage AB Asch. In 1870 Traugott Alberti became the first Ascher superintendent. He was succeeded by Emil Hildemann in 1914 . After the collapse of Austria-Hungary in 1918, the Czechoslovak government forbade the parishes to maintain their ties to the Evangelical Church AB in Austria, whereby the Evangelical Superintendentur AB Asch ceased to exist. The parishes of the former Asch superintendent joined the German Evangelical Church in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia in 1922 , where they formed the church district of Asch .
