history

Before the Freudenberg Office belonged to the County of Hoya, it was part of the County of Bruchhausen; in 1301 the Counties of Hoya and Bruchhausen were merged.

The Freudenberg office had been a fiefdom of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel since 1526, so that after the Count of Hoya died out in 1582 it also fell to them and was assigned to the County of Schaumburg. At that time the office consisted of a town with three citizens and seventeen villages.

Through the Peace of Tilsit , the Freudenberg office came to the newly founded Kingdom of Westphalia as the canton of Freudenberg in 1807 . According to the decree of December 24, 1807, it belonged to the department of the Weser and the Rinteln district , which was formed from the Hessian county of Schaumburg and the Brunswick office of Thedinghausen. When in 1810 the surrounding area, which previously belonged to Kurhannover, was also attached to the Kingdom of Westphalia, a decree of July 19, 1810 brought large parts of the counties of Hoya and Diepholz and the canton of Freudenberg to the Nienburg district in the new department of Aller . By a decree of October 15, 1810, the canton of Freudenberg was repealed and attached to the canton of Bassum , but Groß Hollwedel was assigned to the canton of Harpstedt. On January 1, 1811, the canton of Bassum became part of the French department of the Weser estuary , the canton had 10,189 inhabitants at that time.

After the Congress of Vienna , Hesse ceded the Freudenberg office in 1815 and it belonged to the Kingdom of Hanover. In the Kingdom of Hanover, the Freudenberg Office was subordinate to the County of Hoya and from 1824 to the Landdrostei Hanover .

After the German War in 1866, the Kingdom of Hanover was annexed by Prussia. In 1867 the Prussian province of Hanover was divided into districts, the Freudenberg office was assigned to the Diepholz district together with the Diepholz and Sulingen offices. At that time, the Freudenberg office included the spots of Bassum, Loge and Freudenberg as well as the spots of Neu-Bruchhausen and Harpstedt . By merging the offices of Freudenberg and Syke, the Syke district was formed in 1885.
