- Administrative/biographical history:
- The core of the administrative district of Lüne, divided into the Hausvogtei [manorial bailiwick] and the bailiwick of Barendorf, emerged from the secularised possession of the priory of the monastery of Lüne after the Reformation. It was only through the abolition of communion with neighbouring administrative districts in the second half of the 18th century that firm borders were established. The administrative district was enlarged in the reform of the administrative districts in 1852, when parts of the abolished administrative district of Scharnebeck were added to it, which had previously been added to the bailiwick of Bardowick previously belonging to the administrative district of Winsen/Luhe and two villages of the Medingen administrative district. The reform of 1859 brought another enlargement with the entire administrative district of Artlenburg and the church parish Amelinghausen, which since 1852 had belonged to the administrative district Salzhausen, before that to the administrative district of Winsen/Luhe. In 1862, the official seat was relocated to the city of Lüneburg. Since then, the official designation has been "Lüneburg administrative district”. In the territorial acquisition in 1859 the administrative district became the rural district of Lüneburg, to which was integrated the district of Bleckede in 1932.
