Amt Tremsbüttel

Gut Tangstedt

A castle was built in Tremsbüttel in the 13th century and a Vogtei grew up around it, which eventually became an Amt. In 1408, it was sold to the Duke of Saxe-Lauenburg, but in 1575, administrative responsibilities were transferred to Holstein-Gottorp. (Amt Steinhorst was transferred at the same time and some sources say that the two were actually a single Amt at the time. Unlike Tremsbüttel, Steinhorst was eventually returned to Lauenburg. See the Amt Steinhorst page for more discussion.) I recognize Gottorp sovereignty as of 1658—the year Gottorp became fully independent of Denmark.

 

Kanzleigut Tangstedt split off from the Amt in 1692, but remained part of Holstein-Gottorp. The Amt absorbed Gut Lasbek in 1777 and received a portion of Hoisbüttel from Hamburg in 1803 (in exchange for Alsterdorf, which will be processed with the Hamburg region).
