Land rulership of the Geestlande
The Landherrschaft der Geestlande was an administrative district in the former Hamburg rural area. It was formed in 1830 as part of a major regional reform and arose from the amalgamation of several older landlords with formerly spiritual areas. The first landlords were Senator Amandus Augustus Abendroth as the "oldest landlord" and Senator Martin Hieronymus Schrötteringk as the second landlord.
The sovereignty originally included all areas north of the Elbe and Bille (with the exception of the suburbs of St. Georg and St. Pauli ):
- from the former rulership of Hamburger Berg : the "area of the burial grounds outside Dammthor , the botanical garden , the area of the Sternschanze , near the Jewish cemetery (on the Grindel) , at the Rothen Baum , on the Great Alster "
- from the former lordship of Hamm and Horn : the villages of Hamm , Horn and Fuhlsbüttel , Borgfeld , Kuhmühle and Mundsburg , Schürbek and Uhlenhorst
- the former land area of the Hospital of the Holy Spirit : the villages of Barmbek and Eilbek , Sandkrug and the Hohe Feld
- the former land area of the St. Johannis Monastery : Pöseldorf , Harvestehude , Grindel , Grindelberg , Schäferkamp, Rosenhof, Eimsbüttel , Hoheluft , Eppendorf , Winterhude , Groß-Borstel , Alsterdorf , Alsterkrug, Ohlsdorf
- the former land area of the St. Georg Hospital : Langenhorn , Klein-Borstel , Struckholt, Gut Berne
- the area of the former forest rulership : Wohldorf, Ohlstädt , Groß-Hansdorf , Beimoor , Schmalenbeck , Volksdorf , Farmsen and Lehmbrook.
According to the rural municipality order of 1871 - and the hiving off of the suburbs close to the city - the rulership still included the municipalities (and today's Hamburg districts) Alsterdorf, Farmsen with Berne , Fuhlsbüttel, Groß Borstel, Groß Hansdorf-Schmalenbeck, Klein Borstel with Struckholt , Langenhorn, Ohlsdorf, Volksdorf and Wohldorf-Ohlstedt.
In 1913 Alsterdorf, Ohlsdorf, Fuhlsbüttel, Langenhorn and Groß and Klein Borstel were incorporated into Hamburg. As the land area also shrank in the other land lords through continued incorporations, it was finally merged into a single land lordship in Hamburg in 1926 .
Due to the Greater Hamburg Act , Gross Hansdorf-Schmalenbeck was reclassified to Schleswig-Holstein on April 1, 1937, and from there to the Stormarn district . The other municipalities of the former rulership have belonged to the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg since April 1, 1938.
