The office of Nienburg was a historical administrative area of ​​the County of Hoya , later of the Principality of Lüneburg or Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover with its seat in Nienburg / Weser .

history

The Nienburg office goes back to the accessories of Nienburg Castle , which had been in the possession of the Counts of Hoya since around 1215. Since 1345 the town and castle formed the administrative center of the Hoya Upper County. With the extinction of the Count's House, it fell to the Dukes of Braunschweig and Lüneburg (1705 to Hanover). After the Westphalian-French period, the office was restored to its old extent. In 1829 the greater part of the former Liebenau office was added, in 1859 also the largest part of the Wölpe office, which was repealed, and Estorf, which was formerly part of the Stolzenau office . In 1885 the Nienburg office was incorporated into the district constitution.
