Bruchhausen Office
The Amt Bruchhausen was a historical administrative area of the County of Hoya and the Principality of Lüneburg , later of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover . The seat of the official administration was the Altbruchhausen Castle.
history
The Bruchhausen office goes back to the sphere of influence of the counts of the same name, first mentioned in the 12th century, whose property was divided between the two lines of Altbruchhausen and Neubruchhausen around 1259. Both parts came through purchase in 1326 and 1384 respectively to the Counts of Hoya , under whose rule the offices of Alt- and Neubruchhausen were formed. Upon the expiration of the Hoyaer Graf house in 1582 they fell to the Celler line of the Guelph dynasty . The Neubruchhausen office was pledged to Eberhard von Bothmer in 1609 . The office building in Neubruchhausen was demolished in 1749 and the administration was probably initially relocated to the castle buildings that were still in existence. In 1758 the two offices were taken under joint administration (with headquarters in Altbruchhausen). The Amtshof and the associated lands in Neubruchhausen were leased. The Alte Oberförsterei was built on the site of the former foreworks of the castle on the Wallgarten in Neubruchhausen.
In 1813 the offices of Alt- and Neubruchhausen were finally merged as Amt Bruchhausen . The scope changed in 1852 when the area of Neubruchhausen was transferred to the Freudenberg Office and the part of the village of Staffhorst that had previously belonged to the Bruchhausen Office to the Nienburg Office . For this, the farmers Wöpse came from the Hoya office and the village of Retzen from the Syke office in Bruchhausen. In 1859, seven other communities of the abolished office Schwarme and the parish Martfeld with five communities were incorporated. In a further border adjustment in 1864, the municipalities formerly belonging to the Office Schwarme were spun off again except for Schwarme itself. From 1867 the offices of Hoya, Syke and Bruchhausen formed the (tax) district of Hoya. In the course of the introduction of the district constitution, the Bruchhausen office was mainly in the Hoya district . Five rural communities came to the Sulingen district , one community to the Syke district .

When it was abolished (1885), the office comprised the following municipalities:
