In medieval Germany, the Schultheiß (German: [ˈʃʊltaɪs] ) was the head of a municipality (akin to today's office of mayor), a Vogt or an executive official of the ruler. As official (villicus) it was his duty to order his assigned village or county (villicatio) to pay the taxes and perform the services due to the ruler.
