Gartow Office
The Gartow office was a historical administrative area of the Principality of Lüneburg , later of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover . The higher administrative level was the Landdrostei Lüneburg .
history
The office goes back to the aristocratic Gartow court, which came under Guelph sovereignty at the beginning of the 14th century . In 1694 the Gartow rule was acquired by the Hanoverian minister Andreas Gottlieb von Bernstorff . In 1720, Georg I granted the patrimonial court, which had not yet been closed, sovereignty over the town of Gartow and 24 surrounding villages, which left the neighboring offices of Schnackenburg and Lüchow . After the patrimonial jurisdiction was abolished (1850), the Gartow office was merged with the Schnackenburg office to form the Gartow-Schnackenburg office (from 1852 only referred to as the Gartow office). The municipality of Lanze was reclassified from Lüchow to Gartow in 1852. The communities Volzendorf and Prezier (1852) and Krautze (1853) came from Gartow to Lüchow. On July 1, 1872, the office was canceled and incorporated into the Lüchow office.
