List of vice domes, senior officials and governors of the Mainz possessions on the Eichsfeld
This list contains the vice domes, senior officials and governors of the Mainz possessions on the Eichsfeld .
background
Since the 8th – 10th In the 19th century, the diocese of Mainz had acquired properties on the Eichsfeld. As part of the territorialization , a closed territory of Mainz was created from which the Eichsfeld state became.
At the top of the area was a Vizedom , which had its seat on the Rusteberg . The vice domes were ministerial and had the function of a governor of the archbishop in Mainz. A burgrave on the Rusteberg was responsible for the military security . The literature does not agree on the relationship between the two functions. A subordination of the burgrave to the vice cathedral is obvious in terms of functions. The burgraves, however, came from noble and noble houses and were therefore of higher social status. From the middle of the 12th century, the vice-cathedral appears much more frequently in documents than the burgrave; from the beginning of the 13th century, the precedence of the vice-cathedral is considered certain.
From 1252, confirmed in 1282, after differences with Heidenreich von Hanstein, the Mainz Archbishopric laid down the duties, competencies and income of the Vice Cathedral in a set of regulations. The core of the competencies was the exercise of the high jurisdiction on the Eichsfeld and the Hessian possessions of Mainz. In addition, he was in charge of the archiepiscopal property. The military tasks remained with the burgrave.
The Vizedome from the Hanstein family has been in place since 1162 . The function had in fact become hereditary. In 1241 Mainz confirmed its function as a hereditary fief .
In 1296 the Vizedom was relieved of its political and administrative duties. Friedrich von Rosdorf and Dietrich von Hardenberg were appointed as officiati officials and the Vizdom was deprived of high jurisdiction. The office of vice cathedral continued, but had become a sinecure . In 1323 Heinrich von Hanstein sold the rights from his office as vice cathedral to Matthias von Buchegg for a pension .
The task of this officiatus included both the tasks of the previous vice cathedral and those of the burgrave. In the centuries that followed, different names were used for the office. Officiatus or bailiff was used as well as bailiff, bailiff, advocatus generalis, supreme bailiff and sometimes also Vizedom. Since the middle of the 14th century, the primacy of the Rusteberg bailiff over the other officials in the Eichsfeld was emphasized by the terms Landvogt or Supreme Bailiff. Under Archbishop Adolf I of Nassau, the task was clearly described at the end of the 14th century. He was the supervisory authority for the local bailiffs and officials, who, however, performed the judicial function independently in their offices.
Since the middle of the 14th century, the territory of the Supreme Administrator on the Rusteberg has also expanded spatially. In 1354 the Landvogtei on the Rusteberg was given responsibility for the Hessian, Thuringian and Eichsfeld possessions of Mainz. The background was that Landvogt Johann von Nassau-Merenberg was the brother of Archbishop Gerlach von Nassau . In 1385 there was a division. Now the Rusteberg was responsible for Eichsfeld, Thuringia and Saxony.
In 1540 the higher regional court (Eichsfeld) was formed. The bailiff (from then until 1732 referred to as the chief bailiff) was now responsible for the Eichsfeld, but had to hand over the high jurisdiction to the higher regional court. At the same time the seat was moved from Rusteberg to Heiligenstadt.
From 1732 a Mainz governor was at the head of the Eichsfeld state. The governor was appointed by the electors, presented to the estates and accepted by them. He was at the head of the government, which served as an intermediary between the offices and the Mainz central authorities. From 1777 to 1794 the electoral chamber was also spun off from the government under its own president, and in 1800 the court war council deputation was also spun off from the government.
