In 1540, Otto I, Duke of Brunswick-Harburg, had his workers trench the canal of Seevekanal through the Meckelfeld moor to drain the area. Gut Moor was then named after a manor in the moor which William Augustus, Duke of Brunswick-Harburg bestowed his chancellor, Johann von Drebber, as an official residence here in 1630. So the domain of Kanzlershof was created, which included parts of today's quarter. In 1713, a manor house was erected which was demolished in 1910, when the tracks of Harburg goods station were expanded.
Today, Gut Moor consists mainly of the main road of Großmoordamm. Buildings include some half-timbered houses with thatched roofs. But also the federal motorway Bundesautobahn 1 leads through the quarter.
