Stift or Amt Egestorf............................... (prior to 1647)

Vogtei Lachem, Amt Aerzen............... (from 1647 on)

Vogtei Rumbeck, Amt Schaumburg (from 1647 on)

The Egestorf monastery was founded in 1298 and was secularized in 1560, whereupon it became its own Amt, albeit surrounded by Vogtei Lachem of Amt Schaumburg. When the County of Schaumburg was partitioned in 1647, most of Amt Schaumburg was assigned to the Hessian portion—Schaumburg-Kassel. Vogtei Lachem, however, did not survive the partition intact. Lachem itself and seven other villages were assigned to the Guelphic portion, where they were attached to Amt Aerzen in Brunswick-Calenberg. What was left in the Hessian portion, along with Amt Egestorf, formed Vogtei Rumbeck, still a part of Amt Schaumburg.
