- Administrative/biographical history:
- After the reform of the Medingen monastery by duke Ernst (1521-1546) in 1528, he combined the secularised estates of the monastery in one administrative district. The administrative district of Medingen existed until 1806 without any significant territorial changes. In that year, it was divided into the Hausvogtei [manorial bailiwick] and the bailiwicks of Röbbel, Niendorf, Strote, Altenmedingen, Addenstorf and Riestedt. These seven relatively small bailiwicks were merged in 1806 into two bailiwicks: the villages on the right bank of the Ilmenau formed the Hausvogtei, the villages on the left bank the bailiwick of Medingen.
