List of officials from Ritzebüttel
The bailiff at Ritzebüttel was the chief administrator of the Ritzebüttel office from 1400 to 1864 . The predecessor was the captain on Neuwerk from 1310 . Hamburg councilors who carried out their administrative work at Ritzebüttel Castle were appointed bailiff . In addition to general administration, including responsibility for national defense, the bailiffs also took on the administration of justice (as legislators and judges). At times the voluntary office could not be filled (with a councilor), then a representative, administrator or administrator was appointed:
- Representatives were generally appointed at short notice to bridge the bailiff's vacation or illness periods.
- If there was no councilor to take over the office, administrators were appointed.
- Verweser became necessary if the bailiff died before the end of his term of office and the widow was entitled to the contractually agreed income.
The term of office varied in length until 1577, when the Hamburg council set it to be 6 years.
On June 1, 1864, the Hamburg Senate passed the law to reorganize the administration and administration of justice in the Ritzebüttel office . Thus the powers were divided between an administrator and a magistrate under the supervision of the landlord . The landlord as senator no longer had to be present like the bailiff in Ritzebüttel, but ruled from Hamburg, 100 kilometers away.
In 1935, the communities were Groden , Westermann and Süderwisch , Stickenbüttel , Duhnen , Neuwerk and parts of Sahlenburg to Cuxhaven incorporated so that the land area of the Office Ritzebüttel de facto no longer existed. After the Cuxhaven mayor since 1933, the function of the office manager's personal union had perceived the Office Ritzebüttel was lifted. The office administrator position ceased to exist.
