The Oberamt Glatt was an administrative district in the south of today's German state Baden-Württemberg . The Hohenzollern Oberamt belonged to Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen from 1803 to 1850 and belonged to Prussia as part of the Hohenzollern Lands until its dissolution in 1854 .

history

The Aargau Benedictine monastery of Muri abbey acquired several manors on the upper Neckar at the beginning of the 18th century , which merged to form the Glatt rulership . In anticipation of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen took possession of the rule on November 2, 1802 and established a princely chief office in Glatt the following year. This appropriation initiated the decline of Muri Monastery. After the transfer of sovereignty to Prussia in 1850, the Oberamt continued to exist as a Prussian authority until it was repealed by a decree of January 18, 1854 and incorporated into the Oberamt Haigerloch .

Associated places

When it was founded, the Oberamt essentially coincided with the former Glatt rule. It included the villages

as well as the domain Neckarhausen with the Höhehof. Around 1820 the district had around 2300 inhabitants.

By decree of September 21, 1838, the Oberamt was enlarged to include the villages of Betra and Fischingen (with castle ruins and Wehrstein farm ), previously at the Oberamt Haigerloch.
