Provost office Andreasberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Propsteiamt Andreasberg (also Amt Neuenberg ) was a judicial and administrative unit of the clerical principality of Fulda .

history

The provost office of Andreasberg was an office in Fulda, in which the provost of the Neuenberg priory exercised the rulership rights instead of the abbot, hence the designation as a provost office. The Neuenberg monastery was owned by Fulda since it was founded in 1023. Even after the end of the monastery in 1525, its property remained as the administrative district of St. Andrew's Church . This resulted in the change of name from Amt Neuenberg to Amt Andreasberg. It was often referred to as the cathedral dean, as it was always subordinate to the most senior provost, who was also the cathedral dean.

In the 17th century, the abbot's conflict with the chapter led to the provost's offices being independent of the Fulda government. In 1656 the first agreement between the abbot and the chapter was made, which was confirmed in 1681 and lastly in 1726. The monastery thus had the unrestricted bailiwick and had all administrative and judicial rights except for the center . The probationary officials collected the taxes and delivered them directly to the state revenue. The subjects paid homage to the prince, who also had the embarrassing jurisdiction.

The provost was at the head of the provost's office. An official was employed on site who had the duties of a bailiff , but carried the official title of official.

The Principality of Nassau-Oranien-Fulda was created on the basis of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803. With regard to jurisdiction and administration, the rulers' ordinance of January 8, 1803 reorganized the existing offices. The provost office of Andreasberg was abolished and the inner-city components were assigned to the Vizedomamt Fulda and the components outside the city of Fulda to the Centoberamt Fulda .

scope

At the end of the HRR , the office in the suburbs of the residence consisted of Legsfeldergasse and in Centfuld of Dassen , Neuenberg , Pilgerzell and Tiefengruben .
