The kitchen master (outdated Chuchenmaister or Latin coquinarius , culinarius , magister coquinae ) is a historical office . He was responsible for managing the food. He was the first administrative officer of the court and had a similar function for the steward as the bailiff for the chamberlain . The kitchen master was also the deputy of the head chef and subordinate to him.

The office of master chef is already mentioned in the Nibelungenlied . It was probably introduced by King Philip of Swabia in 1202 . The office was partly a hereditary office . First in office was Heinrich I. von Rothenburg . The lords of Rothenburg, or lines of Nordenberg, von Seldeneck and others held the inheritance of the Reichsküchemeister - magister coquinae imperia for generations.

Among other things, the kitchen clerk , who also represented him in smaller court holdings , was subordinate to the chef .
