In 1946 the Control Commission for Germany - British Element (CCG/BE) reconstituted the Province of Hanover as the State of Hanover and later the same year it merged with three smaller neighbouring reconstituted German states to form the new state of Lower Saxony within the British Zone of Occupation.
Excluded were the eastern areas belonging to Brunswick including the district of Blankenburg and the exclave of Calvörde (part of the district of Helmstedt), which fell within the Soviet Zone and was integrated into the state of Saxony-Anhalt, and the Hanoverian Amt of Neuhaus, which also lay on Soviet-occupied territory and was not united with Lower Saxony until 1993.
