The Meinersen office was a historical administrative area of the Principality of Lüneburg , later of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover . The superordinate administrative authority was the Landdrostei Lüneburg .
history
Since the 12th century, Meinersen has been documented as the seat of a noble family who named themselves after the castle there and developed approaches to the development of territorial rule. Since the 13th century, the noble lords of Meinersen were increasingly displaced by the Welfs . Meinersen Castle fell to Duke Otto II of Braunschweig and Lüneburg in 1316 and became the center of a Guelph office, which was finally Lüneburg from 1512 and which was pledged several times until 1532.
In the separation of judicial and administrative 1852, the Bailiwick Uetze was separated and the Office Burgdorf struck. In 1859, parts of the repealed Eicklingen office were incorporated. At the same time, the village of Eixe fell to the Peine office . In the same year the parishes of Nienhagen , Wathlingen and Wienhausen of the former Eicklingen office were reclassified to the Celle office . From 1867, the Meinersen office with the Fallersleben , Gifhorn and Isenhagen offices and the non-official city of Gifhorn formed the (tax) district of Gifhorn. Since 1883 official business has been performed by the bailiff in Peine. When introducing the circle Constitution in 1885 the Office Meinersen was abolished and its communities were the circles Burgdorf , Celle , Gifhorn and Peine distributed.
