Encyclopedia Britannica



VOGTLAND, or VOIGTLAND

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 172 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VOGTLAND, or VOIGTLAND , a
district
  of Germany, forming the S.W. corner of the kingdom of Saxony, and also embracing parts of the principality of Reuss and of the duchies of Saxe-Altenburg and Saxe-
Weimar
 . It is bounded on the N. by the principalities of Reuss, in the S.E. by Bohemia, and on the S.W. and W. by Bavaria. Its character is generally mountainous, and geologically it belongs to the Erzgebirge range. It is extremely
rich
  in
mineral
  oressilver, copper, lead and bismuth. The name denoted the country governed for the emperor by a Vogt (bailiff or steward), and was, in the middle ages, known as terra advocatorum. The Vogte are first met with in the country in the loth century, and the office shortly afterwards appears to have become hereditary in the princely line of Reuss. But this
house
  was not in undivided possession, rival claims being raised from time to time; and after being during the middle ages a bone of contention between Bohemia, the burgraves of Nuremberg and the Saxon
house
  of
Wettin
 , it passed gradually to the Wettins, falling by the division of 1485 to the Ernestine branch of the family. The elector
Augustus
  I. made it one of the circles of his dominions.
See Limmer, Geschichte des Vogtlandes (
Gera
 , 1825-28, 4 Vols.); Simon, Das
Vogtland
  (Meissen, 1904) ; C. F. Collmann, Das
Vogtland
  im Mittelalter (Greiz, 1892) ; and Metzner, Vogtlandische Wanderungen (Annaberg, 1902).
