Vice cathedral office except for the city of Mainz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The vice cathedral office apart from the city of Mainz was an administrative unit in the Electorate of Mainz .

Apart from the city of Mainz , the Vizedomamt was the youngest Electorate of Mainz . It emerged after the Mainz collegiate feud of 1462 and initially only included Kostheim , Kastel and Heidesheim (Heidesheim was later assigned to the Nieder-Olm office). The administrative reform of 1782 led to a division of the vice cathedral office into three district bailiffs: Kastel, Nieder-Olm and Weisenau. The Amtsvogtei Kastel also includes Kostheim and the Petersaue as well as the exclave Haßloch . The districts Nieder-Olm , Drais , Ebersheim , Heidesheim, Kleinwinternheim , Marienborn , Ober-Olm , Sulzheim and Zornheim belonged to the district bailiwick of Nieder-Olm . Weisenau , Bretzenheim , Zahlbach , Gaubischheim , Hechtsheim , Laubenheim and Nackenheim belonged to the Weisenau District Bailiwick .

The Vizedom was also the Vizedom of the Vizedomamt in the city of Mainz . With the administrative reform of 1782 this office became a sinecure .
