The Ritzebüttel rulership was one of four rulers in the state of Hamburg . It was formed in 1864 from the former Ritzebüttel office , which had belonged to Hamburg since the Middle Ages. Ritzebüttel was put on an equal footing with the rest of the hamburg rulers by replacing the office; the administration was taken over by an administrator , the administration of justice by a magistrate. Thus 1864 was the founding year of the Cuxhaven district court . The Landherrschaft Ritzebüttel was merged with the other Landherrschaft to form a single Landherrschaft Hamburg in 1926 , since after the departure of Cuxhaven as a city two years earlier, only rural communities remained in the territory.

Communities

In 1874, the Ritzebüttel estate included the communities of Arensch , Berensch , Cuxhaven (with Ritzebüttel ), Döse , Duhnen , Groden , Gudendorf , Holte , Insel Neuwerk , Oxstedt , Sahlenburg , Spangen , Stickenbüttel , Süderwisch and Westerwisch .

Changes in territory inventory

On December 13, 1872, the two spots Ritzebüttel and Cuxhaven merged to form the municipality of Cuxhaven, into which Döse was incorporated on May 1, 1905 and which became a municipality on March 15, 1907. With the introduction of the Hamburg City Code on January 2, 1924, the city of Cuxhaven left the Ritzebüttel rulership and became an independent city in Hamburg, together with Hamburg, Bergedorf and Geesthacht.

Whereabouts of the communities

The communities Arensch, Berensch, Duhnen, Groden, Gudendorf, Holte, Insel Neuwerk, Oxstedt, Sahlenburg, Spangen, Stickenbüttel, Süder- and Westerwisch became part of the Hamburg rulership in 1926. On March 1, 1935, the rural communities of Groden, Westerwisch, Süderwisch, Stickenbüttel, Duhnen and Neuwerk with Scharhörn were incorporated into the city of Cuxhaven and thus left the rule of Hamburg. The remaining communities Arensch, Berensch, Gudendorf, Oxstedt, Sahlenburg, Holte and Spangen went with the Greater Hamburg Law on April 1, 1937 to the Landkreis Land Hadeln , administrative district Stade in the Prussian province of Hanover . Now they are part of the city or district of the city of Cuxhaven, with the exception of the islands of Neuwerk and Scharhörn , which were returned to the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg on October 3, 1961 as part of the Cuxhaven Treaty , as well as the surrounding tidal flats.
