history

The Oberamt Hoheneck was originally an office of the Burgraviate of Nuremberg .

During the Thirty Years War , the mercenary and military leader Peter Ernst II von Mansfeld settled in the Hoheneck office for several days.

In 1720 the Oberamt Hoheneck was formed. From 1791/92 the Principality of Bayreuth was administered by the Prussian state as Ansbach-Bayreuth . With that the Oberamt Hoheneck became part of the Neustädter Kreis .

Most recently, the sovereignty ( high court , lower court outside the Etter , church sovereignty , tax sovereignty, etc.) extended to an area that roughly corresponded to the northern part of the Windsheim Regional Court .
