In 1876 the Saxe-Lauenburgian Estates of the Realm and Duke William decided to give up Saxe-Lauenburg's statehood. The duchy was thus merged as district Duchy of Lauenburg into the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein. In 1890, German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck was awarded the honorific title of Duke of Lauenberg, but he was never sovereign ruler of the territory.
