history
Following the extinction of the Schauenburg family, which owned the area of what is now the Pinneberg district for over three centuries, the royal Danish governor Knight Christian Rantzau acquired the northern part of the former county, which included the area of the former Barmstedt office , in 1649 . The new county was given its name Rantzau , which has remained associated with the entire landscape to this day. This is also where the historically founded name for the Rantzau office formed on April 1, 1948 is to be sought.
The Ueberauergilde with the villages of Heede, Langeln, Shirtingen, Ellerhoop and Thiensen, Bevern, Seth and Eckholt, Kölln and Reisieck as well as Bullenkuhlen, the middle guild with Großendorf, Großoffenseth, Kleinoffenseth and Sparrieshoop as well as Lutzhorn, the Hörnergilde with the horns guild belonged to the Reichsgrafschaft Rantzau , Bockelseß, Westerhorn, Osterhorn and Bockel, the Flecken Barmstedt, the Flecken Elmshorn with Raa and Besenbek.
Of the official municipalities, only Bilsen has never belonged to the County of Rantzau. From 1385 Bilsen was initially owned by the Harvestehude nunnery and from 1531 to 1803 by the St. Johanniskloster in Hamburg, until it was incorporated into the Pinneberg rule. In church and school matters, however, Bilsen was subordinated to the Rantzauer church inspectors and also assigned to the Rantzauer fire fund.
After Count Christian Detlev Rantzau was murdered , the county was taken over by Denmark on April 9, 1726, until Prussia took over rule in 1864. In 1867 the Pinneberg district was established, to which, in addition to the former county of Rantzau, the village of Bilsen was incorporated.
On April 1, 1889, three districts were formed in the parish of Barmstedt, Lutzhorn with Lutzhorn, Groß Offenseth, Klein Offenseth, Bokholt, Rantzau forest estate district, Shirtingen with Shirtingen, Langeln, Heede and Bilsen as well as Bevern with Bevern, Ellerhoop, Seeth-Eckholt, Kölln- Reisieck and Bullenkuhlen. These districts were dissolved again after the Second World War. Due to the administrative order in Schleswig-Holstein, the Rantzau office was created with the communities of Bevern, Bilsen, Bokholt-Hanredder, Bullenkuhlen, Ellerhoop, Groß Offenseth-Aspern, Heede, Shirtingen, Langeln and Lutzhorn.
The population's awareness of history has visibly increased in recent years. Several churches have started to research their past and record it in chronicles. Other villages have given themselves a coat of arms, in which their history is mostly ambiguously reflected. So far chronicles have appeared in the communities of Bevern, Bilsen, Bokholt-Hanredder, Ellerhoop, Groß Offenseth-Aspern, Shirtingen, Langeln and Lutzhorn. These chronicles are available in book form either from the mayors in the respective municipalities, from local bookshops or from the local administration.
Since 2016, the administration of the Rantzau office has been headed full-time by an office director.
coat of arms
Blazon : “Quartered, covered with a sloping blue wavy bar. 1 and 4 split by red and silver; 2 in gold above three, below four black diamonds; 3 in gold, three black diamonds below. "
Since the name of the office is based on the former rulership and administrative institution of the Counts of Rantzau, which is steeped in tradition, it was obvious to use the Imperial Rantzau coat of arms from 1650 as a model for the official coat of arms (with regard to the division into quarters / squaring, the color program (red- Silver-gold-black-blue) and the diamonds). The ten diamonds contained in the official coat of arms symbolize the municipalities belonging to the office, the wavy bar symbolizes the Krückau, which crosses the official area. To the north of the Krückau are three communities that formed the Lutzhorn district between 1889 and 1945. To the south of the Krückau, in the eastern area, there are four municipalities of the former district of Jersey and in the southern area are three municipalities of the former administrative district of Bevern.
For its 50th anniversary, the Rantzau Office gave itself its own flag in 1998. The official flag shows the coat of arms in tincture appropriate for the flag on a blue flag cloth.
