Rauhenlechsberg care court
The Rauhenlechsberg nursing court was a Bavarian court and administrative territory in the area between Lech and Ammer from 1544 to 1803 . His seat was the castle Rauhenlechsberg north of Apfeldorf (today Landsberg am Lech district ).
expansion
The nursing court consisted of two unrelated areas. His "Oberamt" only included the village of Peißenberg . The "Unteramt" included the villages of Apfeldorf , Apfeldorfhausen , Birkland , Kinsau , Mundraching , Reichling , Stadl and parts of Lechmühlen with the Roman boiler. The nursing court was thus wedged between the regional courts of Landsberg , Schongau and Weilheim .
Until 1599, the court over the Dießen Forest (between Dießen am Ammersee and Rott am Lech ) belonged to Rauhenlechsberg, but was then united with the Diessen Maritime Court.
history
The unusual layout of the Rauhenlechsberg nursing court is probably due to the late medieval possessions of the Lords of Seefeld in the villages mentioned. After the Seefelds died out in the 15th century, the area was partly under the Wittelsbach family and partly under the Tuchsenhauser family.
From 1498 the Wittelsbachers also took control of the Tuchsenhauser rule and set up the two courts of Rauhenlechsberg and Peißenberg. On the occasion of a pledge to Jörg von Rechberg , the two courts were then combined to form the Rauhenlechsberg nursing court in 1544.
The nursing court remained in this form until its dissolution in 1803. The Oberamt (Peißenberg) came to the District Court of Weilheim , while the villages of the Unteramt were added to the District Court of Schongau .
Responsibilities
The nurse from Rauhenlechsberg was responsible for the administration, the collection of taxes and duties, the police and defense system and the lower judiciary (penalties below severe physical and death sentences ). The high level of jurisdiction was mostly at the Landsberg Regional Court , and from 1582 for an indefinite period at the Weilheim Regional Court.
Rauhenlechsberg Castle
The Rauhenlechsberg Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1298, when the Lords of Seefeld acquired the "Lechsberg Castle Festival". After the dissolution of the nursing court in 1803, the castle fell into disrepair and was subsequently completely demolished. Today only a memorial stone reminds of the former complex.
Varia
In 1705 Johann Jäger , one of the leaders of the Bavarian uprising of 1705 , was arrested in Rauhenlechsberg. Jäger and his colleague Anton Passauer had hidden with his mother. While Passauer was able to flee, Jäger was brought to the Falkenturm in Munich on January 7, 1706 .
