Burghausen Rent Office
The Rentamt Burghausen with its seat at Burghauser Burg existed from 1507 to 1802 and was one of the four administrative districts of the Duchy of Bavaria , along with Landshut , Straubing and Munich . The Rentmeisterämter in Munich and Burghausen formed the "Oberland". The Rentamt Amberg was by winning the Upper Palatinate in 1628, the fifth administrative district of the Electorate of Bavaria . The Burghausen Vitztumsamt had existed since at least 1392.
The rent offices were the intermediate authorities between the regional courts of the "lower level" and the central authorities in Munich; they were responsible for legal, administrative, financial and military tasks at the same time. In 1802, the Bavarian Minister Montgelas dissolved the Burghausen Rent Office as part of his major administrative reform. At this point it was already becoming apparent that Burghausen would become the border town between the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Empire of Austria . Between 1802 and 1919 the rent office was a pure financial authority and thus a forerunner of today's tax office .
history
Vitztume (from the Latin vicedominus ), who exercised the rights of the duke in parts of the country where the duke was not permanently present, had held office in the Duchy of Bavaria since the 13th century . As the tasks of these vice masters increased over time, these rent masters were assigned as supporting officials. Since this u. a. controlled the finances of the ducal regional courts and other sub-authorities and with these tasks became increasingly more important than the vice-offices themselves, the vice-offices were called rent offices or rent master offices around 1500.
The oldest surviving evidence of a Vitzedom in Burghausen dates from September 7, 1392. Today, this date is considered the hour of birth of the Vitztumsamt Burghausen. The first decades of its existence are poorly documented - the fact that 1392 was the founding year speaks for the fact that in this year (after the death of Duke Stephen II ) the state was divided into Bavaria-Ingolstadt , Bavaria-Munich and Bavaria-Landshut . In the course of this, the administration was also reorganized.
After the reunification of Bavaria as a result of the Landshut War of Succession , the duchy was reorganized around 1507 through an administrative reform. In Burghausen - as in Landshut and Straubing - a government was set up. This collegial authority had extensive administrative, legal and financial powers in the district entrusted to it. It fulfilled its most important task when it met as a court court. This formed the second instance for proceedings before the subordinate regional and nursing courts and the first instance for persons with a privileged place of jurisdiction (i.e. in particular the nobility and clergy). The members of the government (the councilors) were divided between the knight's bank (for aristocrats) and the scholar's bank (for lawyers). At the head of the government stood as the representative of the Duke of the Viztum, who in Burghausen was called captain until about 1625 and belonged to the knight's bank. The chancellor, who was responsible for the administration of scriptures, headed the scholar bank. The most important official of the government, however, was the rentmaster. This supervised the authorities subordinate to the government. The most important instrument for this was regular inspection trips, the so-called rentmeister rides. In addition, he exercised the vicarage, by which body punishment could be converted into fines. In addition, the government also included the rent clerk (deputy of the rent master), the Hofkastner (responsible for the ducal estates) as well as the Mautner and the forester.
The government initially had its seat at Burghausen Castle , before moving to its own building on the town square , which is now used as the town hall.
In addition to its own city court, the Burghausen Rent Office included the courts of Julbach , Kling , Kraiburg , Mörmoosen , Neuötting , Trostberg , Braunau , Friedburg , Mattighofen , Mauerkirchen , Ried im Innkreis , Schärding , Uttendorf and Wildshut . With the Treaty of Teschen in 1779, the Burghausen Rent Office lost the Innviertel and with it about half of its territory. In order to compensate for this, it was given the Eggenfelden, Griesbach, Hals, Neumarkt, Pfarrkirchen and Vilshofen regional courts as part of the division of the Landshut Rent Office, and the Marquartstein, Reichenhall and Traunstein courts, which were previously part of the Munich Rent Office, were added. After the Landshut Rent Office was re-established in 1784, the Eggenfelden, Neumarkt and Pfarrkirchen courts had to return it to it.
In the course of the reforms of Minister Maximilian von Montgelas , the rent offices were dissolved in 1802. The areas of Upper and Lower Bavaria were subordinated to the newly created General Directorate of Munich. When Bavaria was divided into districts (the forerunners of today's administrative districts) in 1808, the city of Burghausen was first added to the Salzach district, before it came to the Isar district in 1817 , from which the administrative district of Upper Bavaria later emerged.
In addition, there was also a Burghausen Rent Office. However, it was a pure sub-authority of the financial administration, which was only responsible for the city of Burghausen and the surrounding area. It basically only has the name in common with the old Rent Office.
The "Herzogstadt Burghausen" association has been celebrating the "Rentamtsfest" ("Castle Festival") since 1969 in memory of the time when the land on both sides of the Salzach and Inn was part of the Burghausen Rentamtsfest .
