The rulership of Glött , named after the village of Glött in what is now the district of Dillingen an der Donau , was a rulership in the Holy Roman Empire that came to Bavaria when it was mediatized in 1806 .
history
The rule of Glött an der Glött is first handed down in the 12th century as the seat of a noble family . In the 14th century it was subordinate to the Lords of Knöringen , who were ministerials to the Margraves of Burgau . In 1537 Anton Fugger (1493–1560) acquired the Glött rule. His son Hans Fugger (1531–1598) inherited the lordships of Glött, Kirchheim , Stettenfels Castle and Duttenstein . Anton Fugger's great-grandson, Johann Ernst, founded the Fugger-Glött line that still exists .
The place Glött became the seat of the rule of the imperial counts Fugger-Glött with the places Baumgarten , Dürrlauingen , Glött (including the goods in Glöttweiler ), Hafenhofen , Windhausen and Winterbach . The Fugger managed to turn the fief into an allod . In Glött they set up an office for the administration of their rule, which was referred to as the senior or maintenance office .
Due to the Rhine Confederation Act in 1806, rule came to the Kingdom of Bavaria as part of mediatization . "At the end of the 18th century, the Fugger-Glött owned the Glött rulership , acquired in 1537, and the Hilgartsberg , Oberndorf am Lech and Ellgau rulers ."
