prehistory
On January 13, 1966, the "Working Group North Elbian Bible Societies" was launched in Schleswig. This working group was composed of five autonomous Bible societies:
- the Lübeck Bible Society ,
- the Hamburg-Altona Biblical Society ,
- the Schleswig-Holstein Bible Society ,
- the Eutin Bible Society and
- of the Lauenburg-Ratzeburg Biblical Society .
An "order of the study group of the North Elbian Bible Societies" was adopted in 1975. The working group should be the negotiating partner of the five North Elbian Bible Societies with the North Elbian Church .
