List of offices in the county of Castell
This list names the offices in the county of Castell as of the end of the HRR .
General
In the county of Castell was divided into the parts Castell-Remlingen and Castell-Rüdenhausen. Accordingly, there was the government in Castell and the government in Rüdenhausen as higher authorities. As usual in the HRR, there was no separation of jurisdiction from administration . The governments were therefore both higher administrative authorities and higher courts. The Counts of Castell were entitled to high jurisdiction in three cent courts . In addition, there were regional treasury offices in Castell and in Rüdenhausen as finance and tax authorities.
The offices that were responsible for the lower jurisdiction and the local administration were located below this. Depending on the ownership structure, the taxes were paid either to the above-mentioned regional treasury offices or to the knight cantons of Steigerwald and Rhön-Werra .

Previous ownership
The Cent Großlangheim and the office Großlangheim were sold in 1447 by Count Wilhelm II to Count Georg von Henneberg-Römhild and Karl Truchseß von Wetzhausen. Cent Hellmitzheim (Hellmitzheim, Possenheim and Einersheim ) was jointly owned by Castell and Limpurg from 1412 to 1435. It was pledged to Limpurg in 1435 and finally sold in 1482. The Cent Haltbergstetten was inherited in 1412 and sold to Erlinger von Seinsheim in 1415. The Cent Schwarzach was owned by the Würzburg family, and from 1230 at the latest Castell was a fief. On September 11, 1532, Castell and Würzburg agreed on a regulation according to which state sovereignty was clearly with Würzburg. In 1432 Würzburg separated Volkach from Cent and created its own high judiciary there. In 1520 Castell renounced all rights to Volkach.
