Schoenburg dominions
Schönburg rulers denote the property of the House of Schönburg in the west of today's Free State of Saxony . On the one hand, it refers to the five imperial-free dominions of Waldenburg , Glauchau , Lichtenstein , Hartenstein and Stein , which gradually became part of the Saxon state after the recession with the Saxon elector in 1740 as the Schönburg recession . On the other hand, the term denotes the electoral offices of Remse , Penig , Rochsburg and Wechselburg , which were lent to the Schönburgers ( Schönburg feudal lords ).
Geographical expansion
Until the sale of the upper county of Hartenstein in 1559, the area of the Schönburg rule consisted of three, then two separate areas. The five recess rulers and the state rulership of Remse formed the core of the Schönburg possessions. It reached from the Erzgebirge near Hartenstein to the Erzgebirge foothills. The Zwickauer Mulde flowed through the area near Hartenstein and from Glauchau to Wechselburg . The corridors of Wolkenburg-Kaufungen separated the territory of the Rezessherrschaft from the territories of Penig, Rochsburg and Wechselburg. Tributaries of the Zwickauer Mulde in the Schönburg area were the Lößnitzbach , the Mülsenbach in the Mülsengrund , the Lungwitzbach , the Chursbachtal and the lower valley of the Chemnitz from Taura to the confluence with the Zwickauer Mulde.
The upper county of Hartenstein was separated from the lower county by the Saxon office of Grünhain . It was located in the ridge area of the Fichtelberg and included the Crottendorfer Forest and the upper reaches of the rivers Große Mittweida , Zschopau , Sehma and Pöhlbach . Another important mountain in the area is the Scheibenberg (Ore Mountains) . The southern border of the office also formed the national border to Bohemia .
The territory of the Rezessherrschaft is today in the north and east of the district of Zwickau . The area of the lower county of Hartenstein is mainly in the east of this district, the sovereign rulers are now in the west of the central Saxony district .
Adjacent administrative units
The information relates to the Schönburg rulers with the five recess rulers, the four regional rulers and the residence city of Glauchau. The boundaries of the upper county of Hartenstein and the exclave of the Borna district , which divided the rulers, are neglected here.
history
Creation of the Schoenburg dominions, which were immediately part of the empire
The noble family of Schönburgs was first mentioned in 1130 on the Schönburg near Naumburg . Originally it owned an imperial area from 1182 in the area of Geringswalde near Mittweida , which was ceded to the Electorate of Saxony ( Rochlitz Office ) in 1590 . The Schönburg house came into possession of the Glauchau area around 1170 . From there they formed the imperial dominions Glauchau (since 1256), Lichtenstein (since 1286) and Waldenburg (since 1378). By lending these areas to the Bohemian king, which lasted until 1779, state sovereignty was guaranteed against the Electorate of Saxony . In 1493, the Meerane dominion , which had been lent to the Schönburgers by the Bohemian king in the 13th century, was combined with the Glauchau dominion. Around 1300 the town of Crimmitschau passed into the possession of the Schönburger, but in 1413 it came to the Wettins .
In 1406, the county of Hartenstein , which was also part of the imperial empire, was pledged by the Meissnian burgrave Heinrich I von Hartenstein to the Schönburg family. Burgrave Heinrich I von Hartenstein, however, exempted the Wildenfels lordship, which had previously belonged to Hartenstein, from this pledge and remained its liege lord, whereby this area was finally separated from Hartenstein after 1440. With the Preßburger power ruling in 1439, the Saxon Wettins were indirectly feudal lords of the county of Hartenstein, which in 1456/57 by Emperor Friedrich III. was confirmed again. Since the partition of Leipzig in 1485, the Schoenburg dominions lay between the territories of the Albertine Duchy of Saxony in the east and the Ernestine Electorate of Saxony in the west and north. Since then, until the defeat of the Ernestines in the Schmalkaldic War in 1547, they separated the Electoral Saxon Ernestine area in the west with the city of Zwickau from the ducal Saxon Albertine Saxony in the east with the city of Chemnitz . Since the county of Hartenstein, in contrast to the other lordships, was an Electoral Saxon Reichsafter fief , the Reformation was introduced in the county as early as 1539/40 and thus three years earlier than in the then Bohemian Reich afterfiefs of Lichtenstein, Glauchau and Waldenburg. At the Reichstag , the Schoenburgers were partly represented by the Wetterau Count Association .
Territorial changes
In 1488 the Tirschheim manor with two villages and two village parts came from the Remse monastery to the Lords of Schönberg. Since the four scattered places were fiefs from the Electorate of Saxony, the administration took over its own thing chair , which had the competence of a Saxon vassal court . The jurisdiction, however, lay with the Lords of Schönburg.
In the year 1524 the "general house" Schönburg with the seat of government Glauchau was set up in order to prevent the disintegration of the Schönburg rule in the event of future partitions and to have a uniform representation to the outside world.
In exchange for the Schönburg offices of Hohnstein , Lohmen , Wehlen in Saxon Switzerland and the rule of Kriebstein near Mittweida , the Schönburgers received the Albertine offices of Remse , Penig , Wechselburg (all 1543) and Rochsburg (1548) as fiefdoms. In 1559 the upper part of the county of Hartenstein was sold by the Schönburgers to the Wettins and was re-established as the Electoral Saxon office of Crottendorf . In 1681 the rule of Glauchau was divided into the partial dominions of Fordglauchau and Hinterglauchau . From 1683 to 1763 was Forderglauchau in turn divided into a Penigschen and a Wechselburger share. With the death of Otto Ludwig von Schönburg in 1701 and the inheritance contract of his four sons entitled to inheritance, the Stein rule was formed in 1702 from part of the Hartenstein county.
Loss of imperial immediacy and gradual integration into the Saxon state
In 1740, the Wettins concluded a recess with the Lords of Schönburg, through which the Schönburgers had to recognize the sovereignty of the Saxon ruling house over the domains of Waldenburg, Glauchau, Lichtenstein, Hartenstein (the lower county) and Stein, which had previously been imperial. The feudal rule of the Bohemian king over the now "Rezessherrschaft" areas of Waldenburg, Glauchau and Lichtenstein ended in 1779. With the transition of these dominions to Saxon fiefdoms, the gradual integration into the Saxon state took place.
Since 1835 the feudal lordship of Remse with the lordship of Tirschheim and Ziegelheim was administratively administered by the royal Saxon office of Zwickau . The other three feudal lords, Penig , Wechselburg and Rochsburg , which were territorially separated from the recess rulers by a small exclave of the Borna district ( Cloud Castle ), fell under the administration of the Rochlitz royal Saxon district in 1835 .
The five Rezessherrschaft remained under Schönburg sovereignty until 1878. After that they were fully integrated into the Kingdom of Saxony . The Glauchau administration was formed in 1880 from the dominions of Waldenburg, Glauchau and Lichtenstein and the Remse office . The lordship of Stein and the lower county of Hartenstein (excluding the judicial district of Lößnitz ) came to the Zwickau administration . The Hartstein judicial district of Lößnitz was assigned to the Schwarzenberg administration . Thereafter, the Schönburg House only had private property in independent management until it was expropriated in 1945 by the land reform carried out in the Soviet occupation zone .
Schoenburg rulers
The Schoenburg dominions belonged to the following lines:
-
the princely line Schönburg-Waldenburg:
- the rule of Waldenburg (until 1779 the Bohemian Reichsafterlehen, then the Saxon Reichsafterlehen)
- the rule of Lichtenstein (until 1779 the Bohemian Reichsafterlehen, then the Saxon Reichsafterlehen)
- the rule of Hartenstein (from 1559 only the lower county) (since 1439 Saxon Reichsafterlehen)
- the rule of Stein (since the separation from Hartenstein in 1701 own Saxon Reichsafterlehen)
- the dominion of Remse (Remissa) (since 1543 Electoral Saxon fiefdom)
-
the count's line to Rochsburg and Hinterglauchau:
- the rulership of Rochsburg (fiefdom of the Electorate of Saxony since 1548)
- the rulership of Hinterglauchau (until 1779 a Bohemian fiefdom, then a Saxon imperial fiefdom)
-
the count's line to Penig-Penig:
- the rule of Penig (since 1543 an Electoral Saxon fiefdom)
- the rulership of Wechselburg (fiefdom of the Electorate of Saxony since 1543)
- the rule of Fordglauchau (until 1779 Bohemian Reichsafterlehen, then Saxon Reichsafterlehen)
After the recess of May 4, 1740, in which the Schönburgers recognized the sovereignty of the Saxon ruling house of the Wettins over their territories, the five imperial dominions were Waldenburg, Glauchau (front and rear portion), Lichtenstein, Hartenstein (lower county) and Stein referred to as the recess rule. The four Electoral Saxon feudal offices Remse (Remissa), Penig, Rochsburg and Wechselburg were designated as territorial lords .
History of the written offices before the transfer to the House of Schönburg
The offices of Penig and Rochsburg were given to the Burgraves of Altenburg by the Wettins in the 13th century . After the male line of the Altenburg Burgraves died out, the two offices were conferred on the Burgraves of Leisnig , who were related to them, in the 15th century . In 1543 and 1548 they were exchanged for the Schönburg family. Electoral Saxony retained supremacy over both areas. They belonged to the Albertine line of the Wettins since the division of Leipzig in 1485 . The offices of Wechselburg and Remse have their origins in clergy. The office of Wechselburg was owned by the Canons' Monastery, consecrated in 1168, and handed over to the Teutonic Order in 1278 . After the introduction of the Reformation , the office was secularized in 1541 and handed over to the Schönburgers as an electoral fief. The Remse office was owned by the Remse Monastery under Schönburg sovereignty. In 1533 it fell to the Ernestine Elector and in 1543 it became the office of Schönburg under Electoral Saxon sovereignty.
