General Diocese of Harburg
The General Diocese of Harburg was an ecclesiastical supervisory district in the area of today's Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover and the North Elbian Evangelical Lutheran Church .
It was created by dividing the General Diocese of Lüneburg-Celle and included the Harburg, Lüchow, Bardowick, Dannenberg, Fallersleben and Klötze inspections. In 1903 it went up in the General Diocese of Stade . When the district was re-established in 1936, the area of the former general diocese became part of the district of Lüneburg .
The general superintendents of Harburg were at the same time pastors of the first parish at the Trinity Church in Harburg .
