List of regiments of the Lower Saxony Reichskreis
In the Holy Roman Empire, the Lower Saxon Imperial Circle consisted essentially of the partial principalities of the former Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg , Mecklenburg-Schwerins , Holstein and the imperial cities of Hamburg , Bremen and Lübeck . In the imperial circle, foreign territories that had no interest in a strong imperial policy of the district were decisive: Great Britain (" Kurhannover "), Prussia ( Archbishopric Magdeburg , Hochstift Halberstadt ), Sweden ( Archbishopric Bremen ), Denmark (Holstein). The Reichskreis had only a very limited military significance in its history. Especially in the Turkish Wars and most recently in the Imperial War against France in 1674, he raised his own district troops . In the 18th century, the electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg in particular fulfilled its obligations with house regiments.
