The lords or knights of Bederkesa were ministers of the Archdiocese of Bremen from around 1000 . From 1421 the city ​​of Bremen owned the Bederkesa office and castle . Bremen council families were active here as officials. In the Peace of Westphalia of 1648, the Archdiocese of Bremen was awarded to the Swedish Crown. Bremen refused to cede its territories. During the First Bremen-Swedish War , the great power of Sweden conquered this area in 1654 and sold the duchies of Bremen and Verden to the Electorate of Hanover in 1720 . After the Kingdom of Hanover became the Prussian Province of Hanover in 1866 , the official seat was moved to Lehe .
