The Dobrilugk office was originally an administrative unit of the Electorate of Saxony in the margraviate of Niederlausitz . From 1818 it was converted into a Rent Office and was now called Rent Office Dobrilugk .

It emerged from the Dobrilugk pledge , which was bought in 1624 by the Saxon Elector Johann Georg I and converted into a Saxon office . From 1806 to 1815 it was a royal Saxon office. Since 1815 the office belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia and in 1818 it was converted into the "Rentamt Dobrilugk", which was dissolved in 1874.

The Dobrilugk office was subordinate to the Margraviate of Niederlausitz in tax matters and in the estate order , and to the central authorities of the Electorate of Saxony in Dresden in judicial, camera and church matters .

Geographical location

The area of ​​the Dobrilugk rule lay in the west of Lower Lusatia . The Kleine Elster flowed through it. As a territory belonging to the margraviate of Niederlausitz , the rulership was largely surrounded by territories from Electoral Saxony . The office consisted of a large contiguous area to the west. To the east of it was the Schacksdorf exclave in the Finsterwalde district ( Meißnischer Kreis ). East of the Finsterwalde office was a second contiguous area. The easternmost exclave with three places was surrounded on three sides by the area of ​​the Senftenberg district (Meißnischer Kreis). To the north of the office there were two smaller exclaves. The official area is now in the south of the state of Brandenburg in today's districts of Elbe-Elster , Oberspreewald-Lausitz , Dahme-Spreewald and Teltow-Fläming .

history

From the establishment of the Dobrilugk Monastery to the creation of the Dobrilugk Lien

The Wettin Dietrich von Landsberg founded a Cistercian monastery in 1185 in the Ostmark (= Niederlausitz / Mark Lausitz ) that had fallen to him , which began to build up a rule after 1200. Around 1375 the rule comprised 40 villages.

In 1541 the Dobrilugk Monastery was occupied and drafted by the Saxon Elector Johann Friedrich . At this time, some monastery villages were mortgaged. At the end of November 1546 the monastery was taken by King Ferdinand of Bohemia . He gave the property as a pledge to the Lower Lusatian Vogt Count Albrecht Schlick and thus created the Dobrilugk pledge , which became free rule from 1603. During this time, some of the pledged monastery villages could be redeemed again.

Belonging to the Electorate of Saxony

In 1624 the Saxon Elector Johann Georg I acquired the Dobrilugk rule from the v. Promnitz, 1625 the neighboring Finsterwalde from the v. Dieskau, both of whom he converted to electoral offices , i. e. Office Dobrilugk and Office Finsterwalde . Also included in the rule of Finsterwalde were the villages of Lieskau and Schacksdorf, which the v. Dieskau received from Dobrilugk Monastery as a pledge in 1534; further the former monastery villages of Gröbitz and Ponnsdorf from the property of the Drehna lordship and the village of Gohra, which they owned in 1619 by the v. Kottwitz had bought. In 1689 the former monastery villages Lieskau and Schacksdorf, the former monastery villages Gröbitz and Ponnsdorf from the Drehna property and Gohra were attached to the Dobrilugk office. The Finsterwalde office remained in place to a reduced extent.

Between 1657 and 1738 belonged to the Office Finsterwalde for Albertine Sekundogenitur -Fürstentum Saxe-Merseburg . As a result of the Vienna Congress in 1815, the Lower Lusatian Office Dobrilugk and the neighboring Electoral Saxon Office Finsterwalde became part of the Kingdom of Prussia and were incorporated into the newly established Luckau district of the Brandenburg province .

Belonging to the Kingdom of Prussia

In 1818 the Dobrilugk office was renamed “Dobrilugk Rentamt”. In 1830 the Finsterwalde office was dissolved and the associated seven villages ( Betten , Lichterfeld , Lindthal , Massen , Naundorf , Nehesdorf and Tanneberg ) were assigned to the Dobrilugk Rent Office. However, the unification was reversed in 1848 and the old office was rebuilt on a larger scale as Finsterwalde Rent Office . In addition to the originally seven villages of the old Finsterwalde office (Betten, Lichterfeld, Lindthal, Massen, Naundorf, Nehesdorf and Tanneberg), the villages of Dollenchen, Drößig, Göllnitz, Gohra, Gröbitz, Lieskau, Ponnsdorf, Rutzkau, Schacksdorf and Staupitz became the new Finsterwalde rent office assigned and separated from the Dobrilugk Rent Office. In 1874 the Dobrilugk and Finsterwalde rent offices were finally dissolved.
