Burgwedel Office

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Burgwedel Office was a historical administrative area of ​​the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover . The higher administrative level was the Landdrostei Lüneburg .

history

The history of the office goes back to the "county over the moor", which came into Guelph ownership around 1300 and whose core is known as the county in the 15th century and as the Vogtei Burgwedel in the 16th century . The district of the Vogtei was reduced in 1422 by the transfer of the villages of Kolshorn, Otze, Ramlingen, Weferlingsen, Heeßel and Beinhorn to the Burgdorf office . Since the 15th century, the Burgwedel District Bailiwick was subordinate to the Grand Bailiff in Celle. It was the largest bailiwick within the Großvogtei Celle. Probably in the 16th century the bailiff was given the character of a bailiff, but the subordination to the grand bailiff was not removed until 1772 and the bailiff was formally equal to the other offices of the principality of Lüneburg.

In 1814, the parish of Horst (with Kirchhorst, Groß Horst, Stelle, Altwarmbüchen and Basselthof), which had been part of the Burgdorf district until then, was enlarged. In 1850 the patrimonial court Altwarmbüchen (with position) , which had been responsible for civil matters until then, was incorporated. In 1852 the Burgwedel and Bissendorf District Bailiffs were merged to form the Burgwedel Office, which was transferred to the Burgdorf District in 1885 . In 1852 the general administration and justice were also separated.

Headquarters of the administration

The magistrates initially resided in the castle in Burgwedel, after its destruction in 1426 in the administrative building.
