Kolberg Consistory
The Kolberger Konsistorium , also Konsistorium Kolberg , was a judicial and administrative authority of the Evangelical Lutheran Church ( Consistory ) in the Evangelical Diocese of Cammin in the 16th to 17th centuries .
For the first time a consistory for the area of the Evangelical diocese of Cammin (monastery area) was formed in 1558. Five years later it was set up in accordance with the revised church ordinance of 1563, as was the Greifswald consistory in the Duchy of Pomerania-Wolgast and the Stettin consistory in the Duchy of Pomerania-Stettin . It had its seat in the city of Kolberg .
The Kolberg consistory was abolished in 1645 during the Thirty Years' War .
When, after the Thirty Years' War with the Peace of Westphalia, Eastern Pomerania, including the secularized diocese of Cammin, came to Brandenburg , the Pomeranian and Camminsche spiritual consistory was established in 1653 . This had its seat first until 1668 and then again from 1683 to 1686 also in Kolberg.
