Office Knesebeck
The Knesebeck office was a historical administrative area of the Principality of Lüneburg and the Kingdom of Hanover . The Landdrostei Lüneburg has been the higher administrative level since 1823 .
history
The Knesebeck office developed from a noble rulership complex around the castle of the same name , which was acquired by the Lüneburg dukes in 1343. The office was mostly mortgaged in the following centuries. Loosely related to this were the castle and court of Brome , which, with the exception of civil jurisdiction , was included in the office of Knesebeck after the French-Westphalian rule, as was the patrimonial Fahrhorst . In 1841 the Knesebeck office was enlarged to include the Vogtei Wahrenholz, which had previously belonged to the Gifhorn office . However, it was reclassified to the Isenhagen office in 1852 . the aristocratic court brome was repealed in 1852 and incorporated into the office of Knesebeck. In 1859 the Knesebeck office was abolished and its communities were added to the Isenhagen office.
