Residual Landamt villages in the Mühlentor sector of Lübeck

Unlike the Burgtor and Holstentor sectors, the Mühlentor sector contains multiple subdivisions, including Gericht Blankensee, Quasi-Güterdistrikt Weissenrode (after 1804), and the core of Gericht Falkenhusen, all of which have their own pages. Also in the sector was Amt Krummesse, which was on the Lauenburg border and the subject of a sovereignty dispute. That dispute (which extended to villages in Gericht Blankensee and to Klein Grönau) was resolved in favor of Lübeck in 1747. (I recognize Lübeck sovereignty over all villages awarded to Lübeck in 1747 throughout the period covered by the database. Note, however, that Lauenburg retained sovereignty over its portion of Krummesse.)

 

Until 1804, only two villages in the sector (Strecknitz and Klein Grönau) were in neither Blankensee, Falkenhusen, or Krummesse. I name the quasi-Amt containing them after Strecknitz—the larger of the two. (In fact, Klein Grönau was so small I would normally have ignored it, but I wanted to make clear that it is in a different country from Groß Grönau, which is in Lauenburg.) In 1804, several villages in the Mühlentor sector that had previously belonged to the Bishopric of Lübeck were transferred to the city. I added those to Quasi-Amt Strecknitz.
