The castle Hiltpoltstein , the former administrative center of the Pflegamtes Hiltpoltstein

The land area of ​​the imperial city of Nuremberg

The Hiltpoltstein nursing office was one of at times more than a dozen administrative areas with which the imperial city of Nuremberg had organized the administration of its territorial property.

history

The first nursing office at Hiltpoltstein Castle was established after Hiltpoltstein was sold to the Roman-German King Charles IV in 1353 . In addition to Erlangen , Hiltpoltstein was one of the most north-westerly places in the Bohemian Crown (so-called New Bohemia ) in the second half of the 14th century . This Pflegamt that for the blood jurisdiction of Fraisch was responsible, initially stood Sulzbach and from 1373 the Regional Court Auerbach .

As a successor to Charles IV, King Wenceslaus pledged the castle in 1397 to the mining entrepreneurs Herdegen and Peter Valzner , who originally came from Bohemia . The wealthy brothers were elevated to the rank of patricians in Nuremberg in 1403 . The price was 1000 shock Prague groschen, which corresponded to about two quintals of silver with a silver content of 12 lots of fine silver. In addition, the owner, the Bohemian Crown, granted 400 guilders on the Pfandbrief for the expansion of the castle. While most of the New Bohemian possessions were given back to the Electoral Palatinate around 1400, Hiltpoltstein remained under Bohemian sovereignty and the open house of the Bohemian kings as a result of the Pfandbrief .

After about a century of pledge ownership by the noble family Seckendorff , who are close to the imperial city of Nuremberg , the council of the imperial city was finally able to secure the mortgage bond for the town and castle in 1503 and paid a sum of 6,000 guilders to the kingdom of Bohemia . The treaty with Nuremberg was arranged by Puta von Riesenberg , the highest judge in Bohemia. The imperial city was interested in this strategically important official seat despite the freely revocable ownership and invested another 2,000 guilders in the expansion of the castle. Therefore, King Ladislaus of Bohemia increased the Pfandbrief by the same amount, which was sealed on St. Vitus Day 1509. The annual reports of the Hiltpoltstein-based nurses have been handed down to the Imperial City of Nuremberg since 1513 .

In 1624, Emperor Ferdinand II finally transferred the pledged property over Hiltpoltstein to the city of Nuremberg as a Bohemian fief, which meant that the property was consolidated.

The area of ​​the maintenance office in itself was relatively closed, but there were also some enclaved areas that were under the sovereignty of other territorial powers . The Hiltpoltstein Nursing Office exercised the highest jurisdiction over the land area outside of Kappel , but within the village (inner Etters ) this right of power was incumbent on the Palatinate district judge Schnaittach , as well as the village and community rulership . The balance of power was similar with Almos . Here, the Hiltpoltsteiner Nursing Office had the highest jurisdiction over the local area itself, but the village and community rulership was exercised by the Auerbach Regional Court, which belonged to the Duchy of Bavaria (or later Electorate of Bavaria ) and was therefore subject to its sovereignty.

In 1764, the Hiltpoltstein nurse was also assigned the administration of the Hohenstein nursing office . This was based on a resolution by the Nuremberg Council to reduce costs. The history of the Nuremberg nursing office Hiltpoltstein ended in 1806, when the imperial city of Nuremberg was annexed by the Kingdom of Bavaria in breach of the imperial constitution . The internal administrative structures of the nursing office initially remained untouched, but this changed two years later. Because in May 1808 the newly acquired territories of the kingdom were subjected to a new organizational structure, which was implemented with the same ruthlessness as all other reform efforts promoted by Maximilian von Montgelas . With this reorganization, the remaining structures of the Hiltpoltstein Nursing Office were finally eliminated.
