Office of Blumenau
The office of Blumenau was a historical administrative district of the Principality of Calenberg and the Kingdom of Hanover . The higher administrative level was the Landdrostei Hannover . The official seat was Schloss Blumenau and from 1852 Wunstorf .
history
The area of the office goes back to the Go Seelze, which was owned by the Counts of Wunstorf. After abandoning the castle in Wunstorf, the counts had the "new house" built in Blumenau (first mentioned in 1320). In 1446, the Count von Wunstorf sold all of his possessions to Bishop Magnus von Hildesheim, who a little later sold them to the Welfs. The castle or Schloss Blumenau became the seat of a Guelph office.
In 1819 the municipalities of the previous Bokeloh district were added to the district. In 1852 the municipalities of Limmer, Davenstedt, Döteberg and Velberg came to the Linden office . In 1859 the office of Blumenau was abolished and the villages of Luthe, Dedensen, and Kolenfeld and the four communities that previously belonged to Bokeloh were transferred to the office of Neustadt am Rübenberge , the rest to the office of Linden.
