List of city leaders of Frankfurt am Main

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The office of the mayor of Frankfurt has only existed since 1868. Before that, there were two mayors , each serving for one year, called senior and junior mayors . The last, Viktor Fellner , killed himself in 1866 when the Free City of Frankfurt was annexed by Prussia .

Self-governance development

Beginnings: The Vogt

In the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation , Frankfurt was a free imperial city and therefore only subordinate to the emperor. At the beginning, when the civil parish had not yet faced the ruler as an independent corporation , the administration was exclusively in the hands of the bailiff ( advocatus ). This had a double task: for the municipality he was the representative and protector in the name of the king as the city lord towards third parties. He also exercised the blood judiciary. On the other hand, he was the first among the servants at the Königspfalz Frankfurt .

Transition to the civil parish

A reorganization of these tasks took place between 1180 and 1200: After the death of Vogtes Konrad (around 1180) the office was initially not filled and the tasks related to the township were transferred to Wolfram I. von Praunheim , who was given the title “sculterus imperii “, Reichsschultheiß, led. The Reichsschultheiss had their official residence in the Saalhof . In 1219 a Vogt was named for the last time, Rutger, who obviously only performed representative tasks as the first of the servants in the royal palace. In 1220, Emperor Friedrich II finally rescinded the office of Reichsvogte in Frankfurt and transferred tasks and income from them to the then reigning Reichsschultheissen Heinrich I von Praunheim .

In the following years , the mayors mostly came from the ranks of the Reichsdienstmanns in the Wetterau . Some of the Frankfurt mayors were also burgraves of Friedberg , at times at the same time. Only a few families provided the mayor, and more often the son followed the father. While initially knights with a personal relationship of loyalty to the Hohenstaufen king held the mayor's office, it later fell into the hands of financially strong investors because the king pledged it.

The office of the Reichsschultheissen was established at a time when the civil parish faced the ruler as an independent, self-composed corporation. The Reichsschultheiß now represented the interests of the king vis-à-vis the township. The Reichsschultheißen collected a number of taxes for the king, such as the customs revenue at the Frankfurt city gates, the "small duty", a tax on bars and retail shops, and the leasing of the mills and mill waters. They were also responsible for protecting Messe Frankfurt, as well as maintaining security and order in general - also with regard to the Jews in the city.

Self-management

Since 1266, an existing of 42 members is counsel testified. Its first bank consisted of 14 lay judges , representatives of the patrician families , who complemented each other by co-opting according to the principle of ancestry . The 14 members of the second bank were also patricians of the so-called community , while the 14 councilors of the third bank were craftsmen of the guilds that were able to advise . From 1377 these were wool weavers, butchers, furriers, bakers, shoemakers, tanners, fishermen, tailors, boatmen, stone deckers, carpenters, stonemasons, benders, gardeners and blacksmiths.

Due to its economic strength, the civil parish succeeded in acquiring more and more privileges from the king and the nobility, who were dependent on the citizens' money. In this way they brought regalia (the king's right to taxes and customs duties) and rights into their possession - finally in May 1372 also the Reichsschultheissenamt itself, after it was initially transferred to Ulrich III. von Hanau , then from 1363 onwards was pledged to Siegfried zum Paradies . The council now actually "supervised" itself. Since then, the Reichsschultheiß was only chairman of the Frankfurt Reichsgericht as representative of the king and had the right to participate in the appointment of the highest judges, but no longer played an independent role in urban politics.

City school after 1372

After the imperial immediacy was achieved, primarily foreign nobles were elected to Stadtschultheißen . From the 16th century onwards, the office was given exclusively to municipal aldermen for life. As soon as an incumbent died, the city council elected a successor from among the 14 lay judges of the first council bank within three days. Each councilor wrote three names of lay judges on a piece of paper. Among the three most frequently named lay judges, the new city school was chosen by balling . The city school chair presided over the jury's court and the council meetings.

Senior mayor of the Free Imperial City

In 1311 the city reached an important stage on the way to self-government with the establishment of a mayor's office . Since then, the 42 councilors have elected two council members each for one year as mayors using the balloting procedure . Re-election was possible, but not in the year immediately following. Some respected and influential council members were elected mayor up to six times, for example the former city schoolteacher Siegfried zum Paradies four times in 1373, 1379, 1381 and 1385.

The head of the city was the senior mayor , his deputy the younger mayor . The title had nothing to do with the age or seniority of the incumbent, but referred to the traditional division of responsibilities between the departments. The senior mayor always came from the jury. He chaired the council and represented the city externally, so that he is rightly considered the actual head of the city.

Grand Duchy of Frankfurt

According to the Rhine Confederation Act of July 12, 1806, the imperial city of Frankfurt fell to the Prince Primate of the Rhine Confederation , Karl Theodor von Dalberg , who added it to his Principality of Aschaffenburg . The Grand Duchy of Frankfurt existed from 1810 to 1813, the head of which was the Grand Duke. Dalberg abdicated on October 28, 1813 in favor of Eugène de Beauharnais , but the Grand Duchy disintegrated after the Battle of Leipzig before he could take office.

The administration of the city was in the hands of the mayor appointed by Dalberg, who also held the French-language title of mayor . The territory of the former imperial city formed the Frankfurt department of the Grand Duchy. Freiherr Friedrich Maximilian von Günderrode was prefect of the department .

End of 1813, according to the provisional restoration of Frankfurt sovereignty under the supervision of the Chairman of the Central Board for the management of all the countries occupied by the troops of the allies , the Baron von Stein , was the office of elders mayor restored. Until the constitution amendment act came into force in 1816, these offices were held as mayor Adolph Carl von Humbracht and as city ​​schoolteacher Friedrich Maximilian von Günderrode.

Senior Mayor of the Free City of Frankfurt (1816–1866)

The Free City of Frankfurt was one of four city-states in the German Confederation . The Senate of the Free City of Frankfurt chose annually by Kugelung an elderly mayor from the jury box of the Senate and a younger mayor from Senator bank. Both mayors were each elected for only one year, but could be re-elected the year after next. The term of office lasted from January 1st to December 31st. The roles of both offices corresponded to the old imperial city constitution from before 1806: The senior mayor presided over the Senate and was head of foreign relations and the military. He was thus the incumbent head of state. The younger mayor was in charge of the police, the guilds and civil rights affairs and was his colleague's representative.
