history

The Oldenstadt office goes back to the Benedictine monastery Oldenstadt and its property, which was founded in the 10th century and which was secularized and converted into an office in 1529 under Ernst the Confessor . Since 1740 it was limited to the town of Oldenstadt with regard to the exercise of sovereign rights and jurisdiction , but also retained the lordly rights for almost 400 former monastery people. After the Franco-Westphalian rule , 59 villages of the previous Bodenteich office were added to the district on May 1, 1817 . In 1852 there were another 20 villages of the Bodenteich district, two villages of the Lüchow district , three villages of the Dannenberg district and one village of the Hitzacker district . In 1859 the offices of Bodenteich and Oldenstadt were combined. Eight villages in the parish of Himbergen fell to the Office Medingen, six communities from the repealed Office Ebstorf were reclassified to the Office Oldenstadt. In 1885 the office was opened in the Uelzen district . The administration remained in Oldenstadt until 1953.
