In 1585 a union was formed in Lauenburg, called the "ewige Union mit Ritter-und Landschaft". This union preserved the rights of manoral lords and administrators in cities to call a Landtag in which they were able to influence the law making, the taxes and general administration. Even though the land of Lauenburg came under many rules throughout the decades and centuries, these rights prevailed in Lauenburg into the 1800s. In 1865 Prussia reconstructed the system entirely. Jurisprudence and general administration were separated, the judicial rights of manor lords were abolished. In June of 1876 Lauenburg became part of the Prussian province Schleswig-Holstein. | |||
