geography
location
The district of Lüneburg is located south of Hamburg between the Elbe Valley and the Lüneburg Heath . The Elbe flows through it - it separates the Neuhaus office and parts of Bleckedes from the rest of the district.
Neighboring areas
The district borders clockwise in the north, starting with the district of Duchy of Lauenburg (in Schleswig-Holstein ), the district of Ludwigslust-Parchim (in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ) and the districts of Lüchow-Dannenberg , Uelzen , Heidekreis and Harburg (all in Lower Saxony) .
history
The Lüneburg Office was established in 1862. At this point in time, the Lüne Office moved its official seat from the Lüne Monastery to the former Lüneburg Knight Academy . This also changed the official name. From 1867 the offices of Lüneburg, Bleckede and the city of Lüneburg were members of the Lüneburg district, also known as the steering committee , which was exclusively responsible for taxes and the military.
The district of Lüneburg was formed on April 1, 1885 as part of the formation of districts in the province of Hanover from the Office of Lüneburg. The city of Lüneburg remained independent.
In 1929, the area of the manor district of Scharnhop from the Uelzen district was added to the district. On October 1, 1932, the neighboring Bleckede district was incorporated into the Lüneburg district. In 1943 the communities of Hagen and Lüne left the district and were incorporated into the city of Lüneburg. With the division of the occupation zones after the end of the war , the district of Lüneburg lost all of its territory on the right bank of the Elbe. The municipalities of the Neuhaus office as well as the right Elbe districts of Bleckede were added to the Soviet occupation zone and thus in 1949 part of the national territory of the GDR .
In 1969, the joint community of Bardowick was founded in order to anticipate upcoming incorporations into the city of Lüneburg. A number of territorial reforms took place in the 1970s . First, on July 1, 1970, the municipality of Sottorf was incorporated into the municipality of Amelinghausen . On July 1, 1972, ten municipalities left the Lüneburg district:
- Dübbekold was incorporated into the community of Göhrde in the Lüchow-Dannenberg district.
- Katemin was incorporated into the Neu Darchau community in the Lüchow-Dannenberg district.
- Grünhagen , Hohenbostel , Niendorf and Wulfstorf were incorporated into the Bienenbüttel community in the Uelzen district.
- Obermarschacht was incorporated into the municipality of Marschacht in the Harburg district.
- Avendorf , Bütlingen and Tespe were combined to form a new municipality of Tespe, which came to the Harburg district.
The law on the reorganization of the municipalities in the Lüneburg area on March 1, 1974 resulted in a comprehensive regional reform and an increase in the area :
- The previously independent city of Lüneburg was incorporated into the district.
- The communities of Handorf , Radbruch and Wittorf moved from the Harburg district to the Lüneburg district.
- The communities of Raven , Rolfsen and Soderstorf from the Harburg district were merged into a new Soderstorf community, which moved to the Lüneburg district.
- The municipality of Wetzen from the Harburg district was incorporated into the Oldendorf (Luhe) community in the Lüneburg district.
- Through numerous mergers, the number of municipalities in the district has been significantly reduced.
On June 30, 1993, the area on the right bank of the Elbe, which had been lost in 1945, returned to the Lüneburg district after a referendum and was continued as a joint municipality of Amt Neuhaus . On October 1, 1993, its member communities merged to form the new community of Amt Neuhaus .
The district of Lüneburg is one of the core areas of monuments and sites from prehistoric times. Ernst Sprockhoff listed 17 plants west and 32 east of the Ilmenau. The facilities of the necropolis of Soderstorf and the Totenstatt near Oldendorf protrude from it.
Population development
The district of Lüneburg was significantly enlarged in 1932 with the incorporation of the Bleckede district and in 1974 with the incorporation of the city of Lüneburg.

coat of arms
The coat of arms was awarded to the district of Lüneburg in 1927 by the Prussian State Ministry and is one of the earliest German district coats of arms. After all, the district of Lüneburg was the first of all Hanoverian and even Prussian districts to take advantage of the opportunity to apply for and obtain their own coat of arms. In addition, the coat of arms was evidently a model for the design of the district coats of arms of the neighboring districts of Harburg , Celle , Dannenberg , Gifhorn , Soltau and Uelzen , which also adopted the blue or Guelph lion in the following years. The hearts are also reproduced based on the Danish royal coat of arms as a result of the marriage of Duke Wilhelm von Lüneburg to the Danish Helene . The design and the draft go back to the Berlin painter Gustav Adolf Closs .
Economy and Infrastructure
In the Future Atlas 2016 , the district of Lüneburg was ranked 178th out of 402 districts, municipal associations and urban districts in Germany, making it one of the regions with a "balanced risk-opportunity mix" for the future.
The Lüneburg Municipal Clinic is part of the Elbe-Heide Hospital Association, which includes several hospitals in the southern Hamburg area.
The Lüneburg Landscape Association was founded as a registered association to maintain cultural institutions .
traffic
The Elbe and the Elbe Lateral Canal are important for inland shipping . Various federal highways and the federal motorway 39 from Lüneburg to Hamburg (the former A 250 ) run through the district . The connection from Amt Neuhaus across the Elbe to the rest of the district is ensured by the Tanja ferries between Neu Darchau and Darchau and Amt Neuhaus between Bleckede and Neu Bleckede .
The railway lines from Hamburg to Hanover , from Lüneburg to Lübeck and from Lüneburg to Dannenberg run through the district. Lüneburg has an InterCity Express connection through the Karlsruhe - Frankfurt - Kassel - Hanover - Hamburg - Stralsund line as well as through other individual InterCities . ICE trains to and from Basel, Innsbruck, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich and Stuttgart also stop here and there.
On the routes of the Osthannoversche Eisenbahnen (OHE) from Lüneburg to Bleckede and to Soltau there is no longer any regular passenger traffic.
The bus transport is largely in the hands of KVG Stade (KVG) and the OHE subsidiary Verkehrsbetriebe Osthannover (VOG). In the 1990s, an express bus network was introduced on important routes, which connects Lüneburg directly and sometimes every hour with the surrounding basic centers (Bleckede, Dahlenburg, Amelinghausen, Salzhausen). There are frequent connections to the suburbs of Lüneburg (Bardowick, Adendorf, Deutsch Evern, Reppenstedt). As a supplement to the regular bus operation in low-load traffic, there is a call-collecting mobile or call-collecting taxi . Access and school bus routes connect smaller towns, while car sharing supplements public transport in Lüneburg, Adendorf and Reppenstedt.
All local transport lines belong to the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (HVV).
