Office Poppenburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Poppenburg office was a historical administrative area of ​​the Principality of Hildesheim and the Kingdom of Hanover .

history

The district goes back to the Poppenburg , which was first mentioned in a document in 1227 and which was the seat of a family of counts of the same name. After its extinction at the end of the 13th century, the castle and office fell to the bishops of Hildesheim , who in the following period often pledged them. After the Hildesheim collegiate feud , the office was ceded to the Principality of Calenberg in 1523 . In 1643 it returned under the rule of the Stiftshildesheim. In 1802 it came to Prussia with the abolished Hochstift Hildesheim, and in 1807 to the Kingdom of Westphalia . At the end of 1813 it was taken over by Hanover. The office structures that were repealed in the Prussian and Westphalian times were restored in 1815 and the Poppenburg office restituted to its old extent. In 1824 it was dissolved and incorporated into the Gronau office.
