Abenberg Nursing Office
The Abenberg Nursing Office was an administrative district of the Eichstätt bishopric with its seat in Abenberg . It was established in 1356 after the place came to the bishopric in 1296. The nurse was the chief official for the entire property of the bishopric in his district.
In the years 1743/44, the new building for the nursing office was built under the direction of Gabriel de Gabrieli . The building right next to the Upper Gate is now used as the town hall.
Towards the end of the 18th century, the Abenberg Nursing Office can be described as follows:
The sovereignty ( high court , lower court outside the Etter , church sovereignty , tax sovereignty, etc.) extended over Abenberg, Asbach (disputed with Oberamt Roth), Bechhofen , Kleinabenberg , Louisenau , Marienburg , Obersteinbach ob Gmünd and Schnepfenmühle. It held village and community rulership in Brunn , Dechendorf (disputed with Oberamt Schwabach), Kettersbach , Lanzendorf , Leipersloh , Moosbach and Veitsaurach . This entitled them to lower court within the Etter. The high court, however, exercised the Oberamt Schwabach (Dechendorf) and the caste and city bailiff's office in Windsbach (other places).
The manors were administered by the Abenberg caste office (the number of properties is given in brackets):
- Immediately: Abenberg (165), Aurau (1), Bechhofen (10), Beerbach (1), Breitenlohe (5), Dechendorf (5), Gaulnhofen (1), Georgensgmünd (5), Hauslach (2), Kapsdorf (3 ), Kauernhofen (1), Kleinabenberg (6), Louisenau (3), Neumühle (1), Obersteinbach ob Gmünd (8), Prünst (1), Rittersbach (1), Rohr (1), Schnepfenmühle (1).

In some places foreign rulers were also wealthy.
The Abenberg Nursing Office was secularized in favor of Bavaria in 1803 and in the same year fell to the Gunzenhausen district of the Principality of Ansbach (main state comparison Bavaria / Prussia), with which it finally came to the Kingdom of Bavaria through exchange in 1806 (Treaty of Paris) .
