Office Auburg
The Auburg office was a historical administrative area that successively belonged to the County of Diepholz , the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , and the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover .
history
The center of the office was the Auburg, laid out in 1495 by the noble lords of Diepholz as a border fortress against the neighboring county of Hoya . On the basis of a treaty of 1521, when the Diepholzer Count House died out in 1585, it fell not to the Guelphs like other parts of the country , but to Hesse. In 1592 it was transferred to Philipp Wilhelm von Cornberg , an illegitimate son of the Hessian Landgrave Wilhelm IV . Auburg temporarily formed a kind of Hessian secondary school under the Lords of Cornberg , who lost their sovereign rights again at the beginning of the 18th century. Due to the contractual provisions of the Congress of Vienna , the office was ceded to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1816. In 1820 it was abolished and incorporated into the Diepholz office as a bailiwick . During the administrative reform of 1852, an office in Auburg was formed again, but its administration kept its seat in Diepholz . As early as 1859 it was again in the Diepholz office and with this in the Diepholz district when the district constitution was introduced in 1885 .
