Oberamt Sigmaringen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Oberamt Sigmaringen was an administrative district in the south of what is now the German state of Baden-Württemberg . The Hohenzollern Oberamt belonged to the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen from 1807 to 1850 , then as part of the Hohenzollern Lands of Prussia until its dissolution in 1925 .

history

The upheavals of the Napoleonic era brought the Sigmaringer line of the House of Hohenzollern both territorial gains and the liberation from the Austrian feudal sovereignty that had been burdening the Counties of Sigmaringen and Veringen since 1535 . The Princely Oberamt Sigmaringen, newly established in 1807, acted as administrative, police and judicial authority for the area of ​​the two former counties. After the sovereignty passed to Prussia in 1850, the administration of justice was separated from the administration in accordance with Prussian customs. From 1854 the district court of Hechingen was responsible for the entire administrative district; the Sigmaringer district court deputation was upgraded to a district court in 1879. The Oberamt Sigmaringen, which had been changed several times in its spatial delimitation, continued to exist as a lower administrative authority until it was merged with the greater part of the Oberamt Gammertingen to form the Sigmaringen district by the law to simplify administration of October 7, 1925 .

Associated places

When it was founded in 1807, the Oberamt coincided with the area of ​​the former counties of Sigmaringen (including the Mediatkloster Habsthal ) and Veringen, i.e., in addition to the towns of Sigmaringen and Veringenstadt, it included the villages of Bingen, Bittelschieß, Ettisweiler, Habsthal, Hausen, Hornstein, Inzigkofen, Kalkreute , Krauchenwies, Laiz , Mottschies , Rosna , Rengetsweiler, Rulfingen, Sigmaringendorf, Thalheim, Benzingen, Billafingen, Harthausen, Hitzkofen, Langenenslingen , and Veringendorf. In 1812 the village of Ablach, acquired in exchange for Baden , was added. The Oberamt was downsized several times by 1828: Thalheim came to the Obervogteiamt Beuron (ordinance of April 21, 1823), Veringenstadt, Benzingen, Harthausen, Veringendorf to the Oberamt Gammertingen (ordinance of June 15, 1827), Rengetsweiler to the Oberamt Wald (ordinance of 10 April 1823) . January 1828).

By ordinance of October 15, 1840, the Oberamts district around Jungnau and Vilsingen (with Dietfurth and Nickhof), previously Obervogteiamt Jungnau , was enlarged. After the transition to Prussia, the villages of Ober- and Unterschmeien and the Thiergarten colony were added by an ordinance of January 18, 1854 from the dissolved Oberamt Straßberg , as well as the exclave Achberg, which had previously formed its own office. A final expansion took place when the Oberamt Wald and Ostrach were repealed by ordinance of December 27, 1861 and March 28, 1862 respectively, and merged with the Oberamt Sigmaringen.

Thus from 1862 to 1925 the Oberamt comprised the following communities:
