Amt Stickhausen

Amt Stickhausen was one of the administrative districts (Ämter) of the County of East Frisia and, after 1654, of the Principality of East Frisia. Named after Stickhausen Castle (Burg Stickhausen), it served as an administrative district of the House of Cirksena throughout the early modern period. The Amt occupied the south-eastern part of East Frisia and comprised the Vogtei Filsum and the Vogtei Backemoor. In 1535, the former district of (Up-)Lengen was incorporated into the Amt, becoming a permanent part of its territory. The Amt remained in existence until the administrative reforms of the Kingdom of Holland in 1808, when it was replaced by the Arrondissement Stickhausen.
