Land chapter because of the city
The rural chapter Weil der Stadt (also: Ruralkapitel Weil der Stadt ) in Würmgau and Nagoldgau was a pre-Reformation administrative unit of the Archdeaconate Trinity on the right bank of the Rhine in the diocese of Speyer . The country chapter had its seat in Weil der Stadt an der Würm . Its southern border corresponded to the course of the former Franconian-Alemannic demarcation line .
hierarchy
Superordinate bodies
The diocese of Speyer was divided into four archdeaconates , which in turn were divided into three to five regional chapters. The rural chapter Weil der Stadt belonged together with the rural chapter Grüningen and the rural chapter Vaihingen to the Archdiaconate of Trinity , which was reserved for the " Provost of All Saints ". The full name of this collegiate foundation was “St. Trinitatis ac Omnium Sanctorum “Its collegiate church in Speyer is said to have been built by Bishop Sigebodo (in office from 1038 to 1051) southwest of the Speyer Cathedral in a corner of the city wall of Speyer.
Land chapter as middle level
The spiritual center of the rural or rural chapter because of the city was the city church of St. Peter and Paul.
The country chapter was presided over by a dean, mostly the parish priest of St. Peter and Paul, whose competencies increased from the 13th century onwards, because the archdeacons of Speyer first had to perform higher tasks in the diocesan administration and in the imperial chancellery located here and were later gradually disempowered .
