Velden care office

The Nursing Castle, the former administrative seat of the Velden Nursing Office

The Pflegamt Velden was one of the times up to 11  Pflegämter extensive areas with which the city of Nuremberg had organized the management of its territorial possessions. The official seat of the nursing office was formed by the small town of Velden , which gave this administrative area its name.

history

The Velden nursing office came into being after the Landshut War of Succession was ended in 1505 by King Maximilian with the Cologne arbitration award . As a result of this arbitration, the city and the office surrounding it passed into the possession of the Imperial City of Nuremberg and were subsequently incorporated into its land area as a maintenance office.

The part of the nursing office east of the Pegnitz was forcibly taken possession of by the Electorate of Bavaria with the help of largely questionable legal titles towards the end of the 18th century . This took place after Elector Karl Theodor von Pfalz-Baiern in 1790 had terminated all treaties and agreements that had been concluded between the imperial city and the Palatinate or Bavaria since the Peace of Cologne in 1505. The part of the nursing office with the city itself, west of the Pegnitz, shared the fate of the imperial city until it was annexed by the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806 .
