The Officiesup

The imperatori had the right to have two Courts: a true one and one composed by Archofficiers of the Empire (Erzämter, archiofficia). 4 Archofficies appeared under the ottonian dinasty, at the time of Otto I'crowning in 936. Every Stammherzöge owned one of such officies. _The Golden Bull (1356) gave such officies at the Electors.

1625 Pfalz was made Electorate, and a new Archoffice called Archtreasurer was created. 1706, Pfalz was made Erztruchseß and the Archtreasurer title was given in 1710 to Braunschweig-Calemberg-Hannover.
In 1714 the electoral rank was given again to Bayern: the Palatine Count was (again) Archtreasurer, Hannover still the old rank and insigna.

New officiers were created, but never used, for the electors created in 1803

Nell'esercizio di queste funzioni al di fuori della cerimonia dell'incoronazione, gli elettori laici erano rappresentati dai detentori dei corrispondenti uffici ereditari (Erbämter), i quali a loro volta, nell'esercizio quotidiano delle proprie attività curiali, venivano sostituiti da "aiutanti": (Hofämter: Obrist-Hofmeister, Obrist-Kämmerer, Obrist-Hofmarschall, Obrist-Stallmeister).
