Ambts-Stauffenburgisches Geld-, Korn- und Dienst-Register, auch Zehnt-Beschreibung, von Trinitatis anno 1744 bis Trinitatis anno 1745

Name:

Reinecke, Conrad Viet, 1709-1781

Date:

1744

Description:

Bookkeeping ledger detailing the income and expenses in 1744 to 1745 related to localities within the administrative district (Amtsverwaltung) of Stauffenburg, which at that time was part of the principality (Kurfürstentum) of Braunschweig-Lüneberg (later the kingdom of Hannover) and today is located within the Braunschweig (Brunswick) district of Lower Saxony, Germany. Localities named in the register include Gittelde, Teichhütte, Windhausen, Badenhausen, Münchehof, Bergstadt Grund (Bad Grund), and Düderode. As indicated in the title, the ledger book is divided into four parts: 1. money register(s) (Geldregister); 2. grain-tax register (Kornregister); 3. register of payments for services (Dienstregister); and 4. register of tithe collection (Zehntbeschreibung). Some of the entries contain narrative portions that seem to relate administrative and/or historical details about the properties. The ledger book was apparently kept by Conrad Viet Reinecke, whose name appears on the title pages of the four parts and who is named at other points as the government official (Amtmann) of Stauffenburg (see part 1, p. 117; part 2, pp. 44 and 64). The spine is labeled "1745."
