history

Provost office Johannesberg

The Propsteiamt Johannesberg was a Fulda office in which the provost of the Propstei Johannesberg exercised the rulership rights instead of the abbot, hence the designation as a provost office. The district was not a closed area, but a series of individual property rights. These included the places Engelhelms , Florenberg , Harmerz and Weimesmühle in the area of ​​the Centoberamt Fulda , the places Zell and Zirkenbach in the municipality Kerzell as well as the farm Geringshauf in the municipality Hattenhof in the Oberamt Neuhof and parts of Lütter and the village Ried in the office Weyhers .

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 Johannesberg provost's office was abolished and the components assigned to the respective surrounding offices.

Centoberamt Johannesberg

The Centoberamt Fulda was expanded at the same time to include the villages of capitular or propteilich jurisdiction in the area of ​​Centoberamt Fulda. Since the Centoberamt Fulda had become too big with the additional locations, it was divided. The river Fulda formed the border to the newly formed Centoberamt Johannesberg. The Centoberamt Johannesberg now bore the designation of an office of the first class.

Grand Duchy of Frankfurt

In 1806 the Principality of Nassau-Orange-Fulda was occupied by the French and in 1810 it became part of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt . In the French era , the office belonged as a Johannesberg district mairie to the Fulda department , nothing changed in terms of structure (see court organization in the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt ). In particular, the separation of the judiciary from the administration was not introduced.

Post-history in Kurhessen

According to the final act of the Congress of Vienna on July 9, 1815, the office was transferred to the Kingdom of Prussia . This transferred the office on October 16, 1815 to the Electorate of Hesse . The Johannesberg Centers Office was merged with the Fulda Centers Office and half of the Bieberstein Office to form the Fulda Land Office. At the same time, there were some places from the Neuhof office . It now consisted of Allmus, Almendorf, Armenhof, Bachrain, Bernhards, Besges, Bieberstein, Böckels, Bronnzell, Dassen, Dietershan, Dietershausen, Dipperz, Dirlos, Dörmbach, Edelzell, Egelmes, Eichenzell, Elters, Engelhelms, Finkenhain, Florenberg, Friesenhausen, Giesel, Gläserzell, Gruben, Haimbach, Harmerz, Hattenroth, Hofbieber, Horas, Istergiesel, Johannesberg, Kämmerzell, Keulos, Kohlgrund, Kohlhaus, Külos, Künzell, Langenbieber, Lehnerz, Lüdermünd, Maberzell, Margretenhaun, Melters, Melzdorf, Mitterode, Neuenberg Niederbieber, Niederrode, Niesig, Oberrode, Petersberg, Pilgerzell, Reinhards, Rex, Rodges, Rönshausen, Sickels, Steens, Steinau, Steinhaus, Stöckels, Tiefengruben, Traisbach, Weihershof, Welkers, Wiesen, Wissels, Wesselsrod, Wolferts, Zell and Zirkenbach.

This office included: Allmus, Almendorf, Böckels, Dietershausen, Dipperz, Dirlos, Dörmbach, Egelmes, Elters, Friesenhausen, Gruben, Hofbieber, Keulos, Kohlgrund, Jülos, Langenbieber, Margretenhaun, Melzdorf, Niederbieber, Rex, Steens, Steinau, Steinhaus, Traisbach, Weihershof, Wiesen, Wissels, Wisselsrod, Wolferts.
