The Wernfels-Spalt Nursing Office was an administrative district of the Eichstätt Monastery with its seat in Wernfels ( Pfleger ) and Spalt ( Kastner ).

history

The establishment of a Eichstättischen territory on the middle course of the Franconian Rezat goes back to the Bishop Reinboto (1279-1297). 1284 bought the Albert beef mouth (noble family) , the castle Wernfels including Belongings for 1,000 pounds Heller. Eichstätt had already acquired feudal rights from the Nuremberg burgraves . In 1294, the same bishop acquired feudal rights over Spalt, including affiliations, through an exchange with the Regensburg bishop Heinrich II . For this the bishop received Fünfstetten . The Nuremberg burgraves, who were enfeoffed by Regensburg in 1272, were able to assert claims against Eichstätt until 1314. By 1510 at the latest, the offices of Wernfels and Spalt were merged.

Towards the end of the 18th century, the Wernfels-Spalt nursing office can be described as follows:

The sovereignty ( high court , lower court outside the Etter , church sovereignty , tax sovereignty , village and community rule , etc.) extended over Egelmühle , Großweingarten , Güsseldorf , Hagsbronn , Höfstetten , Hohenrad , Hügelmühle , Massendorf , Mosbach , Spalt, Steinfurt , Stiegelmühle , Theilenberg , Untererlbach , Wasserzell and Wernfels . In Gersbach , Obererlbach and Wassermungenau (together with Kastenamt Windsbach ) it held the village and community rule. This entitled them to lower court within the Etter. The high court, however, exercised the Oberamt Gunzenhausen (Obererlbach) and the caste and city bailiff's office in Windsbach (other places).

The Wernfels-Spalt nursing office was secularized in favor of Bavaria in 1803 and in the same year fell to the Gunzenhausen district of the Principality of Ansbach (main state comparison Bavaria / Prussia), with which it was finally exchanged for the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806 (Treaty of Paris) .
