List of the bailiffs of Rügen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The office of bailiff of Rügen was the most important sovereign office on the territory of the former principality of Rügen after it became part of the Duchy of Pomerania .

For a long time, at the latest since 1737, the majority assumed that only after the male line of the Princes of Rügen, with Wizlaw III. and consequently the sovereign transition to the Duchy of Pomerania-Wolgast, with Stoislaw, Lord of Putbus , 1326 for the first time a bailiff was used. Similarly, it has been published since November 1835 at the latest, i.e. it is known that Wizlaw III. in 1322 appointed the Wittow knight Guzlav Sume as governor . In the meantime it has been possible to determine 12 other, earlier provincial bailiffs and even some later ones from the Pomeranian deed book alone . Karolus villicus , who was named in a document by Jaromars I in 1193, should be regarded as the earliest Rügen governor . Where this Karl is still titled as administrator, and Guzlav Sume later as voget , dominus Otto Platen was the first to be called advocatus in 1252, Vogt of Prince Jaromar II . Even today, the list of provincial bailiffs cannot be regarded as complete, but merely as a chronological series of documents and mentions, but without any claim to completeness.

The bailiff embodied the supreme power of legislation and jurisdiction in the new part of the country. The Landvogteigericht resident in Bergen auf Rügen was superordinate as an instance to the courts of the Guard Vogteien - administrative and judicial districts into which the Principality of Rügen was originally divided.

For the rural nobility, from whose ranks he usually came, the governor was the first judicial instance. Later, the bailiff also became the governor in Bergen on Rügen . This was also the case in Swedish Pomerania . The governor received his salary from the Swedish treasury. In 1699 the Swedes tried to abolish the office and no longer paid a salary. In 1706 they had to reintroduce it. The salary payments were not resumed. During the Danish occupation of Swedish Pomerania in the Great Northern War from 1715 to 1721, the Danes put their own people on the post.

When Gustav IV Adolf tried to join the Swedish Pomeranian Federation in 1806, the judicial system was comprehensively reorganized and the office of governor was abolished.
