Oberschulze (German for mayor or executive official) was the highest officer of the district or county (German, Gebietsamt; Russian volost) in the Mennonite settlements in Russia, Manitoba, Mexico, and South America. Each village had a mayor (Schulze) and all the villages of a single Mennonite settlement were administered by the Gebietsamt, of which the Oberschulze was the head. The position of the Oberschulze in civic matters was parallel to that of the elder in the spiritual realm (see also Government of Mennonites in Russia).
