Provost office Zella

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The provost office of Zella was a judicial and administrative unit of the clerical principality of Fulda .

history

The provost office of Zella was an office in Fulda, in which the provost of the provost office of Zella exercised the rulership rights instead of the abbot, hence the name as provost office. The Zella monastery was an enclave in the Fischberg district . In 1410, the Zella monastery was no longer managed as a property in Fulda. The reason for this was the pledge to von Henneberg . Later the property must have reverted to Fulda. In the 16th century the diocese of Würzburg claimed ownership of the monastery. The conflict was decided on May 28, 1552 by the Reich Chamber of Commerce. Afterwards Fulda had the right to present the provost and Würzburg the spiritual jurisdiction.

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 came into being 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 Zella was abolished and the components were assigned to the office of Dernbach.

scope
