Office of Rüti
The Rüti Office - also known as the Rütiamt , the Rüti Office or the Hinteramt - administered the estate of the Rüti Monastery, which was abolished in 1525, from 1525 to probably 1803 .
history
In the introduction of the agreement of June 17, 1525 between the city of Zurich and the Rüti monastery , the city council laid down its position on the monasteries and thus probably also the main features of the later office of Rüti.
With the abolition of the Premonstratensian Abbey of Rüti during the Reformation, the monastery property became the property of the City of Zurich, which had it administered by a bailiff in the Rüti Office .
The office of Rüti is mentioned in the letters from Heinrich Bullinger in 1541, about a conflict over the bailiff in the former monastery of Rüti.
The office building fell largely victim to a major fire in 1706 and made room for a new building in 1710.
With the referendum of March 20, 1831 on the new cantonal constitution, the upper offices were abolished. The municipalities of the hitherto Oberamt Grüningen formed the new District Hinwil - new county seat was Hinwil .
organization
The coat of arms of today's municipality of Rüti goes back to the sign of the Premonstratensian Abbey of Rüti and was attached in 1490 in today's reformed church of Rüti. After the abolition of the monastery, it became the shield image of the office and in 1803 the coat of arms of the municipality of Rüti.
In 1537 the monastery buildings of the Augustinian monastery in Zurich , which was abolished in 1524, became the administrative seat of the alms office and the Rüti office; but the official business was probably carried out in Rüti, which for example also included the military organization.
It seems certain that the taxes (interest and former tithes ) of the 14 churches and estates incorporated into the Rüti monastery until 1525 were transferred to the Rüti office (partly until 1832!), For example:
- The Kollatur of Dürnten reached in 1359 by Habsburg to the monastery Ruti, which the Church but was incorporated only in 1414, and in 1525 also went to Zurich. The parish originally also included Fägswil (Rüti) and Wolfhausen .
- The ground and soil interest of the house at the anchor (1331) in Erlenbach ZH went to the monastery of Rüti in 1520, in 1525 with the abolition of the monastery to the city of Zurich.
- In the Middle Ages, the farmers of the Fehraltorf community had to deliver their interest and tithes to the Rüti monastery. This remained so even after the Reformation and the abolition of the monastery in 1525. The duty existed not only for the people of Rüeggisaltorf (this name also appeared earlier in the documents), but also for Mönchaltorf am Greifensee.
- In 1390 Heinrich von Tengen donated the Fischenthal church and church set to the Rüti Abbey, and in 1525 both came to the city of Zurich after the monastery was dissolved.
- Until 1218 the area around Zollikerbergs was under the control of the Zähringers , then the Regensbergers and later the monastery of Rüti. Until 1832, the respective miller had to deliver the Trichtenhauser Mühle as "annual interest three and a quarter mutt kernels, three chickens and fifty eggs" .
The Rüti office was headed by a Zurich councilor as bailiff, who was commissioned by the authorities a. a. the pastor installed in the Rütiamt. The administrative seat was the official building in Rüti ZH . Some of the bailiffs found their final resting place in the former monastery church: Oswald Keller († April 4, 1600), Hans Ülinger († August 13, 1612) and Hans Ulrich Körner († 1655).
The exercise of jurisdiction in the managed goods and 'overlaps' with the rule of Greifensee require clarification, but in particular with the Landvogtei Grüningen , under whose authority the municipality of Rüti came under the rule of 1408.
