Burgdorf Office
The Burgdorf office was a historical administrative area east of Hanover of the Principality of Lüneburg , later of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover . The seat of the official administration was the ducal palace in Burgdorf .
history
The office goes back to a castle built by the Hildesheim bishops between 1260 and 1279. The core area of their accessories corresponded to a goo dish . In 1420/21 the castle came into Guelph ownership and was expanded to become the center of an administrative bailiwick, to which the eastern part of the county of Burgwedel with the villages of Otze, Ramlingen, Weferlingsen, Heeßel, Beinhorn and Kolshorn was assigned in 1422. The Wulbeeke was established as the border between the bailiwicks of Burgdorf and Burgwedel. 1426 Hans Kock is named as Vogt. After the final integration of Burgdorf into the Guelph sphere of influence, a Vogt each was installed in Burgdorf and Dachtmissen. The office of Vogt was probably given up in the 15th century and replaced by the respective pledge holder of the castle and Weichbild Burgdorf. Probably at the beginning of the 16th century the bailiwick was converted into an office. The area of the Vogtei Burgdorf included besides Burgdorf itself the villages Aligse, Rödensen, Schillerlage and Obershagen, perhaps also Ahrbeck. The affiliation of Hülptingsen is uncertain. In 1443 the villages of Otze, Weferlingsen and Heeßel came from the county of Burgwedel to the bailiwick. Ramlingen and Kolshorn followed by 1472. The former Bailiwick of Dachtmissen was incorporated before 1533. Horst and Altwarmbüchen were still controversial between Burgwedel and Burgdorf in the 17th century. In 1643 Steinwedel was placed under the Burgdorf Bailiwick.
Until 1535 the house and office were in the possession of the von Dageförde family. In 1535 it came to Ludolph von Klenke, 1545 to Ernst von Rheden, followed by Lorenz von Lüneburg in 1573, Arend von Hanstedt in 1584, Joachim von Staffhorst in 1593, and Ernst von Bothmer in 1599. From 1583 to 1586, Countess Maria Magdalene von Bentheim-Steinfurt, born Duchess of Braunschweig and Lüneburg and daughter Ernst the Confessor, had the palace and office as a widow's residence. Other pledge holders were the Grand Bailiff Balthasar Clamer (1614), Nicolaus Knaust (1634), Ernst von Wurmb (1639), Friedrich Schenk von Winterstedt. In 1659 the pledging of the office ended.
Regardless of the pledge, since the 16th century legally trained bailiffs have been serving as ducal officials to exercise jurisdiction and other sovereign rights. With the end of the pledge in 1569, the administration was initially incumbent on a bailiff or clerk, from 1702 a (noble) Drosten as the first civil servant and a bailiff or clerk as the second civil servant.
In 1814 the parish of Horst , which had previously been jointly administered (sovereign matters and criminal jurisdiction had previously been with Burgdorf), was completely assigned to the Burgwedel office . When justice and administration were separated (1852), the part of the Meinersen Office (Vogtei Uetze) west of the Fuhse was incorporated into the Burgdorf Office, and in 1859 the Ilten Office was repealed . In 1885 the office was transferred to the district constitution.
