The list of the knightly nobility in the Principality of Lüneburg lists all noble families who owned a manor listed in the registers of the Knighthood of the Principality of Lüneburg .

The Lüneburg nobility largely developed from the ministerial class in the 12th and 13th centuries . Sometimes it is also about originally noble genders, so among others in the case of those of Hodenberg . In addition to managing their estates, many landowners were in the service of the dukes and occupied positions in administration and in the military.

The goods were distinguished by their tax exemption, for their owners the ducal chancellery was basically the first court instance and the owners had a seat and vote in the knighthood of the principality of Lüneburg and thus the right to elect members for the Lüneburg state parliaments . The equipping of the goods with arable land and entitlements to the commons varied widely, but usually did not exceed two to three times the size of a full yard. The scope of the manorial rights also differed greatly and could include compulsory farms, tithe rights , court rights or hunting rights.

According to the knighthood registers of 1752, there were 192 properties on the territory of the principality at that time. In the case of the Stillhorn loan capital , equity was not tied to land, but to capital.
