The Isenhagen district was a district in the Prussian province of Hanover in the Hankensbüttel - Wittingen area from 1885 to 1932 .

history

The district's predecessor was the Isenhagen office . This was created in 1533 through the secularization of the Isenhagen monastery as a monastery office without a rounded sovereign territory. 1799 were by regulation of King George III. the Gografschaft Hankensbüttel and the Vogtei Steinhorst with a total of 31 villages separated from the Gifhorn office and added to the Isenhagen office. In 1859 the offices of Isenhagen and Knesebeck were combined to form an enlarged office for Isenhagen, from which the Isenhagen district emerged in 1885.

In 1932, the Isenhagen district was dissolved by a decree of the Prussian State Ministry and merged with the Gifhorn district.
