Due to its good geographic location, Bergedorf had already received postal services from the Hanseatic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanseatic_league> league early on. The city's postal connections to Hamburg <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburg> were especially well developed at an early stage?.. Since 1420 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1420> , Bergedorf had belonged to both of the Hanseatic cities of Hamburg and L�beck <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lübeck> . Because Bergedorf belonged to both cities, the curious condition arose where Bergedorf's post could not be administered by either Hamburg or L�beck.

Because Bergedorf belonged to both cities, the curious condition arose where Bergedorf's post could not be administered by either Hamburg or L�beck. Therefore, Bergedorf formed its own tiny autonomous postal jurisdiction. Several other principalities also established postal departments in Bergedorf. In 1746 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1746> , Hannover <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannover> set up its own postal department in Bergedorf, which lasted until 1846. In 1785 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1785> , the dynasty of Thurn <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurn_und_Taxis> und Taxis succeeded Hannover and established its own postal department, which was not closed until 1851. In 1839 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1839> , Prussia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussia> finally opened a postal department in Bergedorf as well.
