The Wolfsberg Office was an administrative area of ​​the Bamberg Monastery , a direct imperial territory in the Holy Roman Empire . The Bamberg Monastery, which was assigned to the Franconian Empire , was a clerical principality that existed until 1802.

geography

The Wolfsberg office was on the south-eastern periphery of the Bamberg core area and bordered on the Hiltpoltstein nursing office in the south , which belonged to the imperial city of Nuremberg .

structure

The administration of the Wolfsberg Office consisted of a Vogteiamt and a caste office .

Administrative headquarters

The official seat was initially Wolfsberg Castle , later the Vogteihaus built at the western foot of the castle hill served as the seat of the Wolfsberg official administration.

Bailiwick Office

The Wolfsberg Vogteiamt was one of the 54  Vogteiamts of the Hochstift and thus belonged to the lower administrative level of this imperial territory.

For Bailiwick district of the Bailiwick Office next to the main town belonged Wolfsberg also other towns such as Doerfles , Geschwand , hazel , dog village , Linden , Rothenhof and Sorg , in which the Bailiwick Office respectively, the village and community domination exercised. The jurisdiction over the areas north of the Trubach was exercised by the Bamberg office of Pottenstein , while that south of the brook was the responsibility of the Hiltpoltstein nursing office. The core of the Untertrubach south of the stream was thus located within the Hiltpoltstein high court district. The village was nevertheless subject to Bamberg sovereignty, because the village and community rulership, which was decisive for this in the Franconian region , was also exercised by the Wolfsberg Bailiwick.

The economic importance of the office for the bishopric of Bamberg was relatively low and was therefore listed as Amt I class (out of 5). The tax revenue of the tax office averaged 865 during the term of office of Peter Philipp von Dernbach (1672–1683) and 730 Franconian guilders per year during the term of office of Marquard Sebastian Schenk von Stauffenberg (1683–1693) .
