Lauenburg consistory

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Lauenburg consistory was a judicial and administrative authority of the Evangelical Lutheran Church ( consistory ) in the area of the Lauenburg and Bütow regions .

After the Lauenburg and Bütow lands in the east of the Pomerania region came into the fiefdom of Brandenburg-Prussia in 1657/1658, a separate consistory was set up for the Evangelical Lutheran church there. From 1662 this consisted of the pastor of Lauenburg and members of the secular court in Lauenburg. The Lauenburg consistory was initially subordinate to the Stargard consistory , although it received its own right to ordination in 1695 , and then from 1747 to the newly established Köslin consistory . From October 4, 1750, the Lauenburg consistory, like all provincial consistories, was subordinate to the newly created Lutheran Upper Consistory in Berlin.

After the previous fiefdom became a sovereign part of Prussia in the Warsaw Treaty (1773) , the Lauenburg and Bütow regions lost their special status. In this context, the Lauenburg consistory was also abolished in 1773. His area was initially subordinated to the West Prussian Consistory in Marienwerder , and from 1804 to the Köslin Consistory .
