County of Vieselbach
The county of Vieselbach was a small county east of Erfurt in Thuringia .
history
In the high Middle Ages the county belonged to the Counts of Gleichen . The focus was a no longer existing castle on the Schlossberg in Vieselbach . In 1343 the council of the city of Erfurt bought the entire county of Vieselbach from the Counts of Gleichen and added it to his extensive property, which also included the imperial fief of Kapellendorf and the offices of Vippach and Vargula . Like Erfurt, it was part of Kurmainz . In the 15th century a Bailiwick of Kerspleben with 18 villages was mentioned in the region . After the administrative reform of the Electoral Mainz State of Erfurt , the places of the former County of Vieselbach belonged to the following offices since 1706:
| Office of the Erfurt area | Associated localities |
|---|---|
| Azmannsdorf | Vieselbach, Kerspleben, Hochstedt, Hopfgarten, Kleinmölsen, Linderbach, Mönchenholzhausen, Töttleben, Ulla, Utzberg |
| Tonndorf | Bechstedtstrasse, Nohra, Obernissa, Rohda, Sohnstedt |
| City Office | Büßleben, Niedernissa, Urbich, Windischholzhausen |
As part of the Erfurt State, the area of the former County of Vieselbach, together with Erfurt, became part of Prussia in 1802 and became part of the French Principality of Erfurt in 1806 , which existed until 1814.
The Principality of Erfurt was divided up along the former official boundaries by the Congress of Vienna . As a result, the places in the former Azmannsdorf and Tonndorf offices became part of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . The places in the two offices that once belonged to the county of Vieselbach were for the most part assigned to the " Office Vieselbach ". In 1850 they came to the Weimar administrative district of the Grand Duchy. The four former Vieselbacher places that were once added to the city office, however, came back to Prussia in 1815 and a year later were incorporated into the newly formed district of Erfurt in the province of Saxony .
