Oberamt Güglingen
The Oberamt Güglingen (until 1759: Amt Güglingen ) was an old Württemberg administrative district, which in 1810, with the reorganization of the administrative units in the new Kingdom of Württemberg, was mainly part of the Oberamt Brackenheim . According to the Royal Württemberg State Handbook, the office was a nine-hour walk from Stuttgart.
history
Güglingen , which had town charter since the end of the 13th century, was ruled by the lords of Neuffen from the 12th century , with the towns of Pfaffenhofen , Weiler and Ochsenbach . The decline of this noble family at the end of the 13th century was used by the Counts of Württemberg to acquire larger areas, which they combined to form the Güglingen office.
The Obervögte in Zabergäu oversaw the Güglingen office. After the general and final abolition of the upper bailiffs in 1755, the previous subordinate, who had actually carried out official business long before, received the title of senior bailiff in 1759.
After the formation of the Kingdom of Württemberg, in the course of the state reorganization, the Oberamt Güglingen was initially enlarged to include the previous Ochsenburg staff office. Just one year later, on April 25, 1808, the Güglingen Upper Office was incorporated into the Brackenheim Upper Office and subordinated to the Landvogtei Am lower Neckar .
