By 1864, Denmark dominated Schleswig-Holstein, including Lübeck and parts of Hamburg and Oldenburg. Denmark led several censuses in this area. The first census was in 1769 followed by censuses in 1801, 1803, 1834, 1835, 1840, 1845, 1850, 1855 and 1860. The censuses are written in German or Danish written, and sometimes in both languages on the same page. The information content varies, according to the year in which the census took place.
