Amt Lauenau
Amt Lauenau grew up around a castle of the same name that dates from 12th century. It was under Guelphic sovereignty, but Schaumburg exercised administrative rights prior to 1512 and again after 1535. When Schaumburg was partitioned in 1647, Lauenau was assigned to the Guelphic portion, Brunswick-Calenberg. Lauenau was technically divided into Vogteien, but those played no role in jurisdictional changes, and I ignore them.
In 1859, beyond the scope of this project, Amt Lauenau was abolished and merged into Amt Springe.
