JACQUES APOSTLE 1496 C28 (12) One Piece Question between the city of Haguenau and Soufflenheim; letter sent: the palatine Elector Philippe to Jacques de Felckenstein, under bailiff, asking him to negotiate with the town of Haguenau concerning the grazing and the firewood ; quarrel on the subject between the city and the residents of Soufflenheim, asking namely that he “would release prisoners and give back the mortgaged horses”. [No people from Soufflenheim in this document.] C 50 (5-8) 1539-1606 : PROVOST LETTER BY CONRAD DE RECHBERG, UNDER BAILIFF, TO THE PALATINE ELECTOR, LOUIS 03 May 1539 C50 (5) Two Pages. Completely Translated. To my right honourable, respected Lord, Palatine Elector, this is a request sent by your very faithful servant : concerning the office of provost of Soufflenheim, you wrote some time ago that I should send a report concerning advantage and disadvantage to this ; I can just say that at this time Hans Jacob Knobloch is holding the office of provost of Soufflenheim, and has accepted it ; however in my opinion my function of under bailiff would authorize me to name a provost ; as the former provost Mathis Reinwalt has contested this nomination and pretends to come back to this function ; so this is my request that I am allowed to keep the man I named Hans Jacob Knobloch as a provost, as I am authorized as under bailiff to name him. As I do not find advantage or disadvantage to this function of provost of Soufflenheim, my request to you is that I can decide about the function of the named Knobloch as provost in Soufflenheim, that his wages would be left at 2 Gulden for his function, and not advise him about this question, this is my humble request to you, written this 3rd Maÿ 1539 and signed. Passed in Haguenau 3rd March 1539 : signed Conrad von Rechberg, Under bailiff. [Letter sent by Conrad de Rechberg, under bailiff to the palatine Elector, Louis, concerning the office of provost in Soufflenheim. Question of whether the provost is named by the Prefecture or by the community of Soufflenheim. Followed: Rights of several communities depending of the Prefecture of Haguenau in Soufflenheim, Kuttolsheim, Surbourg, Wingersheim, right to name the provost; rights and privileges of the Prefecture in this regard.] LETTER BY THE PREFECTURE OF HAGUENAU TO DUKE MAXIMILIAN
