Fischbach manor

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fischbach manor was an imperial small territory and later a patrimonial court .

history

The aristocratic family Waldenfels had had extensive possessions in Fischbach since the Middle Ages . In 1390, the Waldenfels possession of four estates at that time was first mentioned in a cent description from the Bamberg centre's office in Stadtsteinach . In addition to Waldenfels, the Bamberg cathedral chapter , the parish of Stadtsteinach and the Langheim monastery also had lordship over properties in Fischbach. After the forest Felser feud contributed Fritz and Hans von Waldenfels their possessions, including the in Fischbach, the Margravate Brandenburg-Bayreuth to feud on. Before 1449 the brothers sold this loanable share to their cousin Hans von Waldenfels zu Knellendorf . He had already owned allodial property in Fischbach and named himself after Fischbach from 1460, thus establishing the Fischbach line of his family. He took his seat in the Upper Castle.

Around 1500 the property was divided. The greater part remained with the Upper Castle and thus margravial fief. Hans' son Balthasar moved into the Lower Castle and gave the property belonging to it to the Bamberg Monastery as a fief. The division ended in 1532 when the Lower Castle was bought by the owners of the Upper Castle. Since then the property has remained undivided. In 1509 it comprised four and later five Sölden . Staibra has also been documented as part of the manor since 1545 with three Sölden. The manor was immediately imperial. In addition to the bailiwick over the subjects, it also had the limited cents since 1700 . The right of patronage over the church in Steinbach was also part of the manor. The church was originally a branch church of Stadtsteinach. In 1548 Georg von Waldenfels introduced the Reformation and appointed a Protestant pastor.

Around 1600 Georg Christoph von Waldenfels sold the manor to Achatz von Guttenberg. In 1738 his descendant Johann Gottfried Christoph von Guttenberg sold the manor to Georg Christoph von Reitzenstein. The Reitzenstein family acquired 4 properties in Wötzelsdorf and 2 in Horlachen in 1756 , thus expanding the Fischbach manor. At the end of the HRR it comprised over 30 smaller properties (Sölden, residential buildings). It was under the knightly canton of Gebürg .

After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the Bamberg Monastery fell to the Electoral Palatinate of Bavaria . The territories immediately adjacent to the empire were also to be meditated in November 1803 . Even if this was initially unsuccessful, the imperial immediacy ended with the Rhine Confederation Act and the end of the HRR in 1806.

Patrimonial court

In 1812, the Kingdom of Bavaria created the possibility of forming power courts and patrimonial courts. In 1813, Friedrich von Reitzenstein applied for the establishment of a local court in Fischbach in accordance with the Organic Edict of 1812, but it was rejected due to a lack of documents. According to the edict of 1818, the Reitzensteins again applied for the formation of a first class patrimonial court . This was delayed as the proposed judge was accused of insufficient qualifications. In 1820 the Fischbach patrimonial court was established. It comprised the von Reitzenstein possessions in the municipality of Fischbach, Wötzelsdorf and Horlachen ( district court Stadtsteinach ), Flurholz ( district court Weismain ) and Grafendobrach ( district court Kulmbach ). The patrimonial court was subordinate to the district court Stadtsteinach.

Shortly before the law on the sale of court rights to the state against payment of December 28, 1831, the Reitzenstein family waived the disputed jurisdiction. Your patrimonial courts Fischbach and Neudrossenfeld thus became patrimonial courts II class. After the March Revolution in 1848, the patrimonial courts were overturned.
