The office arose with the abolition of the Cismar monastery and fell in 1544 when King Christian III divided the country . as part of the ducal share in Duke Adolf I of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf . A well-known post-Reformation personality from the district is the clergyman Johannes Stricker . He was ordained in 1561 when he was called by the bailiff Benedikt von Ahlefeldt as a preacher at the monastery church in Cismar . Around 1572 he also took over the pastorate of St. Jürgen in Grube from his brother Jeremias Stricker and around 1575 moved into the rectory of Grube, which was newly built in 1569 and is now in the Schleswig-Holstein open-air museum in Molfsee . In 1576, his signature was found against the reservations of the clergy belonging to the Gottorf portion of the duchy against the formula of concord . In his office he was confronted with the excesses and attacks of the Holstein nobility, which increased when the office of Cismar was pledged to Detlef von Rantzau on Kletkamp in 1576 .

The Oldenburg (Holstein) office , which was also Gottorfische , and which had been administered in many cases by the Cismar magistrate since 1544, fell to the Lübeck Monastery in 1768 . At this time, the officials of Cismar were not only officials of the Oldenburg office in personal union, but also administered Fehmarn as Holstein district administrators and the city of Neustadt in Holstein as governors . With the Treaty of Tsarskoye Selo in 1773 the office of Cismar was transferred from the ducal portion to the royal portion.
