Office Diepenau
The office of Diepenau was a historical administrative area of the county of Hoya and later a Guelph property.
history
Diepenau Castle was founded around 1380 and developed into the center of a Hoya office . After the Count of Hoya died out, it came to various Guelph lines ( Calenberg , Wolfenbüttel , Lüneburg-Celle ) and in 1682 finally to the Principality of Calenberg or Electorate of Hanover. After the Westphalian-French interlude , it was restituted in 1813 and enlarged in 1829 to include the Bohnhorst bailiwick (previously to the Stolzenau office ). In 1837 the village of Brüninghorstedt , which had previously been part of Prussia, came entirely to Diepenau. In 1859 the official seat was given up and the official parish was combined with the Uchte office .
