history

The core of the official district south-east of Lüneburg was the provost's property of the Cistercian monastery in Medingen , which was converted into a Protestant women's monastery in the course of the Reformation. The Propsteigüter was captured in 1529 by Duke Ernst the Confessor . The official district probably corresponded to that of the Gogericht Bevensen. It was divided into several judicial districts (Veeste). Probably only in the 16./17. In the 19th century a normal official administration developed. 1795 the Office for most of the date on was official Winsen (Luhe) associated bailiwick Bienenbuttel increased, which consisted mainly of free float in 61 villages. In addition, the villages of Höver and Oetzendorf from the Bodenteich office were added. The villages Golste and Seedorf fell in 1852 to the office of Ebstorf , Barnstedt and Glüsingen to the office of Lüne . In 1859 the Ebstorf office was incorporated into the Medingen office. Bohndorf was added from the Lüne office , and eight other communities ( Boecke , Hagen , Hohenzethen , Groß Malchau , Reddien , Stoetze , Testorf and Weste ) from the Oldenstadt office . Since 1867, the Medingen Office, the Oldenstadt Office and the non-governmental city of Uelzen formed the (tax) district of Uelzen. When the district constitution was introduced (1885), the Medingen office was opened in the Uelzen district .
