Lucklum was on a trade route on the Elm and gained importance through the Teutonic Order . He settled in Lucklum around 1260 and, after various land acquisitions, set up the Teutonic Order Commander Lucklum, from which a Landkomtur administered the Teutonic Order's Ballei as one of the twelve sub-districts of the Teutonic Order. With the coming, all residents of the village became members of the knightly order; the originally resident farmers were moved to neighboring towns. The Lucklumer Church was converted into an order chapel and therefore a closed, fortified complex with a square floor plan was created in the 13th century, similar to the Teutonic castles in the Baltic Sea region.

It is thanks to the Landkomtur Gottlob Friedrich Wilhelm von Hardenberg, who ruled from 1774 to 1800, that the Ballei did not have to be given up due to the arbitrary and disorderly economic management. His nephew Friedrich von Hardenberg , who goes by the name of the writer Novalis , lived on the estate in Lucklum for about a year in 1784. Here he wrote some of his romantic poems.

The coming existed from 1287 until the secularization of the Teutonic Order in the Confederation of the Rhine in 1809 by Napoleon I. He transferred ownership to the respective sovereign, who for Lucklum was his youngest brother Jérôme of Westphalia . He sold the Lucklum domain to the Wahnschaffe family, from which domain and manor owners emerged for a long time. In 1831 the domain became a manor. More than 200 people were employed there in the late 1940s. On March 9, 2012, the manor with a size of 650 hectares was sold to the Wolfenbüttel Findel-Mast family, the owners of the Mast-Jägermeister company . In the 2000s, several small businesses formed on the manor.

On March 1, 1974 Lucklum was incorporated into the municipality of Erkerode. From 1977 to 1997 the legendary Schlucklum music pub existed in the village , the name of which was based on a mockery of the neighboring villages for the residents of the Lucklum day laborer settlement. They were considered poor swallowers .
