Kirchlinteln belonged to the Prince-Bishopric of Verden, established in 1180. In 1648 the Prince-Bishopric was transformed into the Principality of Verden, which was first ruled in personal union by the Swedish Crown - interrupted by a Danish occupation (1712–1715) - and from 1715 on by the Hanoverian Crown. The Kingdom of Hanover incorporated the Principality in a real union and the Princely territory, including Kirchlinteln, became part of the new Stade Region, established in 1823.

These villages each have a town provost.

gollark: This is a vaguely ridiculous argument too.(even ignoring my issues with this particular case, it's false-dichotomous)
gollark: I do not consider this *less* ominous.
gollark: There are something like four people with actual power to do that and you haven't contacted any as far as I can tell.
gollark: Not really. I don't mind sonata much.
gollark: Isn't it just a role?
