Koslin Consistory
The Köslin Consistory , also called Hinterpommersches Konsistorium zu Köslin or Evangelisches Konsistorium Köslin , was in the 18th and 19th centuries a judicial and administrative authority of the Evangelical Lutheran Church ( consistory ) in West Pomerania, which belongs to Prussia .
It was in 1747 by spinning off the east of Eastern Pomerania, the field of so-called background circles , from the district of in Szczecin seated spiritual Pomeranian and Camminschen consistory established. The seat of the consistory was the city of Köslin . Its area of jurisdiction corresponded to that of the Köslin court court , which was formed in 1721 , and included the area of the Evangelical Lutheran synods of Belgard, Bublitz, Kolberg, Körlin, Köslin, Neustettin, Rügenwalde, Schlawe and Stolp.
The Lauenburg consistory formed for the Lauenburg and Bütow regions was also subordinate to the Köslin consistory . After its abolition in 1773, its area was initially subordinated to the West Prussian Consistory in Marienwerder , and from 1804 to the Köslin Consistory.
Members of the Köslin consistory were the respective president of the Köslin court, two secular councilors and a spiritual council.
The Köslin consistory was abolished in 1815 as part of the reorganization of the consistory in Prussia in favor of the newly established consistory of the province of Pomerania .
Files of the consistory are now in the Archiwum Państwowe w Szczecinie (State Archive Stettin) , a small part (0.1 running meters) in the State Archive Greifswald .
