history
When the Secondogenitur principality of Saxony-Weißenfels was set up in 1656/57, the Electorate of Saxony reserved the right to supervise the writers in the offices that were left to the Secondogenitur. The newly created "Tennstedt District Commission Office " took over this function for the three offices of Langensalza , Weißensee and Sangerhausen in the upper district of the Thuringian district . Only the written city of Tennstedt was directly subordinate to the district office . The exercise of the sovereign rights of the Electorate of Saxony in the Thuringian areas outside the Wettin territory was another task of the district office. These areas included a. the Erfurt State , the Grafschaft Gleichen , the Niederherrschaft Kranichfeld , the Herrschaft Blankenhain , Göllingen , the Ganerbschaft Treffurt with the Vogtei Dorla , the Grafschaft Stolberg , Großmonra , the Schwarzburgisch-Stolbergischen offices Kelbra and Heringen and the Schwarzburgische Amt Ebeleben .
After the Saxony-Weißenfels branch line had expired, the Tennstedt district office fell back to the Electorate of Saxony in 1746, while retaining its functions. With the appointment of the Electorate of Saxony to the Kingdom , the district office belonged to the Kingdom of Saxony from 1806 .
After the period of French rule, as a result of the defeat of the Kingdom of Saxony at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, it was decided to assign territories to the Kingdom of Prussia . a. concerned the entire Thuringian district with its offices. Since then, the city of Tennstedt has belonged to the newly founded district of Langensalza in the Erfurt administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony , which also took over the supervisory rights of the disbanded district office.
