history
The empire-free rule of Tann
The von und zu der Tann family was related to the lords of Schlitz , who were common throughout the Rhön region during the 12th to 14th centuries .
The secured line of trunks begins with Erminold von Slitese, who first appeared in a document in 1116 as Ministerialem of the Fulda Abbey . Whose great-grandson Simon of Visbach and pine dissipates in 1232 for the first time the name de thanne, after the eponymous ancestral castle Tann in 1332 raised the town Tann in Rhoen. Today's town of Tann an der Ulster and 22 other villages in the surrounding area belonged to the Tann domain . The family held the property as a fief from the Fulda Abbey .
In 1323, Simon and Heinrich von Frankenberg, sons of the late Simon the Elder von der Tann, and Heinrich von Biberstein and Heinrich von Bischofsheim, sons of the knight Heinrich von der Tann, reached an agreement with the abbot of Fulda. They regulated the services to be provided in military service for themselves and their castle ( castrum nostrum dictum the fir ) under certain conditions. In 1405, the von der Tann gentlemen agreed that all sons, as soon as they had reached the age of 15, would take vows , oaths and certificates as rulers of the Fulda abbot .
During the Peasants' War (1524-1525) rebellious peasants from the Tann rule tried unsuccessfully to conquer the neighboring Catholic Geisa in the diocese of Fulda. Eberhard von der Tann , a friend of Luther , made rule a center of this religious movement by introducing the Reformation in 1534. The reign of the Tann became imperial immediately and was thus able to break away from their Catholic liege lord Fulda. This gave rise to an almost hundred-year and at times armed dispute with the abbots of Fulda, which was only ended in 1629 by Emperor Ferdinand II . In the 16th century Eberhard von der Tann fortified the city in order to be able to secure it better during the armed conflict with the abbot of Fulda over religion and feudal relationships . In 1704 the course of the border between the Tann rulership and the rulership of the Fulda Abbey was marked by boundary stones that show the cross of the coat of arms of the bishopric of Fulda on one side and the jumping trout of the coat of arms of the Lords of Tann on the other.
The gentlemen von der Tann belonged to the Buchisches Quartier of the Franconian knighthood since 1647 . From the 16th century to the 18th century they were members of the Imperial Knighthood in the knight canton of Rhön-Werra of the Franconian knight circle . During the 16th century they were also enrolled in the Knightly Canton of Steigerwald and the Knightly Canton of Odenwald . Tann Castle was divided into three parts, which are grouped around a courtyard, the yellow, red and blue castle, after which the lines of the family were named.
Affiliation after the dissolution of the Tann rule in 1803 to the present day
After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the free rule of Tann was mediated in 1803 and came to the Kingdom of Bavaria . Due to the Napoleonic Wars , the Tann rule came to the Grand Duchy of Würzburg with the Rhine Confederation Act in 1806 .
According to the regulations of the Congress of Vienna , the area belonged again to Bavaria from 1814 and was incorporated into the Lower Main District . As part of the administrative reform of 1862 was in Bavaria Kingdom of the regional court districts Tann, Hilders and Weyhers formed the district office Gersfeld. It thus comprised the former dominions of Tann and Gersfeld with the former Würzburg office of Hilders in between.
Following the German War of 1866, Bavaria had to cede the Gersfeld district office with the Tann, Hilders and Weyhers offices to Prussia . The Gersfeld district office in Bavaria became the Prussian district of Gersfeld , which became part of the new Hesse-Nassau province . The district of Gersfeld was dissolved in 1932 and incorporated into the neighboring district of Fulda , which has belonged to Hesse since 1945 .
During the division of Germany (1945–1990), the area around Tann was enclosed in the north, east and west by the GDR (Thuringia).
