history

The castle in Altencelle already made mid-12th century a welfisches center of power. After the relocation to (Neu-) Celle (1292) and the elevation to the residence of the Dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (1378), the associated bailiwick was expanded to the residence office. The Celler Vogt rose to become one of the most influential employees of the court and state administration and had been called the Grand Vogt since at least the first half of the 16th century . Since the main bailiffs increasingly shifted to the ministerial administration in the course of the 17th century, the importance of the subordinate bailiffs grew, who by the end of the 17th century achieved a position similar to the bailiffs in the peripheral administrative centers. With the abolition of the Grand Bailiwick in 1772, the twelve Cellic District Bailiffs were finally put on an equal footing with the other Lüneburg offices.

The Burgvogtei (Amtsvogtei) Celle includes the castle and the lordly buildings in Celle, the suburbs (Altenceller, Hehlener and Westerceller Vorstadt, Neustadt-Altenhäusen, Neuenhäusen) and 18 villages in the area. Since the separation of justice and administration in 1852, it has been known as Amt Celle .

In 1859 the office of Celle was combined with the offices of Beedenbostel , Winsen (Aller) and parts of the office of Eicklingen . It formed in 1867 with offices Burgdorf and Burgwedel and the office-level cities Burgdorf and Celle the (tax) district Celle. In 1869 the suburbs of Celle left the district and became part of the city of Celle. In 1885 the office was transferred to the district constitution.
