The Bleckede office was a historical administrative area of ​​the Principality of Lüneburg , later of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover . The higher administrative level was the Landdrostei Lüneburg . The official seat was Bleckede .

history

The office was created around the border fortress Bleckede, which has been verifiable since 1271, and its Elbe customs post . At the end of the Middle Ages, ownership of the mountain and bailiwick changed more frequently between Guelphs and Ascanians . From the end of the 14th century, they were in the possession of the city of Lüneburg as a pledge . Duke Ernst II was only able to take possession of the office again in 1600 after lengthy disputes.

In 1742 the Garze office was merged with Bleckede. Further changes to the area followed from 1795 in exchange with the offices of Lüne , Scharnebeck and Winsen (Luhe) . The right-Elbe communities Krusendorf and Sumte came to the Neuhaus office in 1820 . In 1852 the Bleckede office was expanded to include the villages of Neetze and Süttorf (from the abolished office of Scharnebeck), Breetze (from the office of Lüne), Bresse (from the office of Dannenberg ) and the originally closed court in Saxony-Lauenburg, Lüdersburg (with Jürgenstorf). In 1885 the Bleckede office was merged with the Neuhaus office to form the new Bleckede district and in 1932 it was incorporated into the Lüneburg district.
