Geographical expansion

The Schwarzburg-Rudolstädter suzerainty lay in the Thuringian slate mountains and the upstream Paulinzella foreland . It consisted of a larger western part (with Rudolstadt, Schwarzburg, Blankenburg, Königsee and Teichel) and a smaller eastern part (with people mountain), which was separated from each other by the territory of the Duchy of Saxony-Saalfeld. The main river of the western part was the Schwarza with its tributaries Lichte with Piesau , Sorbitz and Rinne with Rottenbach . The Schwarza flowed into the Saale at the eastern border of the western part . The western part of the supremacy drained into the Ilm . The Menschenberger area in the east, separated from the main area of ​​sovereignty, lay in the confluence of the Sormitz into the Loquitz or from this into the Saale. The southernmost branch of the western part touched the Rennsteig near Neuhaus . Five exclaves belonged to the area, one enclave was near Rudolstadt.

The main area of ​​supremacy is now largely in the west of the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district and a smaller part in the east of the Ilm district . Five places on the southern edge are assigned to the district of Sonneberg . The Leutenberg area is in the east of the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district. Today there are five places in the Saale-Orla district .

Territorial changes

The Schwarzburg third of Dienstedt was given to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach in 1815 as a result of the Congress of Vienna and united with the other two thirds. As a result of an exchange of territory with the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg , the four Kochberg districts of the dominion Oberkranichfeld , Geitersdorf, Pflanzwirbach , Mörla and Milbitz came to the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt in 1825 . So far they have been enclaves in the area or on the edge of supremacy.

When the state was reorganized in 1850, the two district offices of Rudolstadt and Königsee were formed in the supremacy. The District Office Rudolstadt comprised the northern part of the supremacy with Rudolstadt and Stadtilm as well as the exclaves Angelroda , Elxleben , Leutenberg and Weisbach .

The Königsee District Office comprised the southern part of the sovereignty with Königsee and Schwarzburg. It went back to the Schwarzburg office, whose official seat was moved to Königsee in 1668 . It comprised a stretch of land on the Schwarza and on the Rinne in the Thuringian Slate Mountains .

In 1858 the Rudolstadt district office was dissolved and the tasks for the previous administrative district were carried out centrally by the Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt government . In 1868 the Rudolstadt District Office was re-established, and in 1893 the city of Rudolstadt was spun off from it.

In 1908 the municipality Unterrottenbach (1895: 99 inhabitants) was reorganized into the district of the Königsee District Office and merged with Oberrottenbach to Rottenbach. In 1918 the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt became the Free State of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt , which in turn became part of the State of Thuringia on May 1, 1920 .
