history

The Waldvogteiamt was built in 1740 according to plans by Johann Caspar Bagnato at the current location in Haspel . A previous building is said to have existed here from 1610. It goes back to the Upper Austrian administration of the county of Hauenstein , respectively the Hotzenwald , from the castle Hauenstein and was the seat of the forest bailiff in the domain of the forest and the forest cities . The Roman-German King Maximilian issued an order comprising 17 articles in 1507, which was valid until the 18th century.

Only a few elements of the Renaissance style can be seen on the building. It has a barrel vaulted cellar. In 1904 a round tower and a new Renaissance portal were added. It then became an office building and was until the new building of the district office Waldshut district office. Today it is the official seat of the Waldshut-Tiengen public prosecutor's office.
