history

The origin of the word part “diep” is not, as one might assume from today's perspective, in “deep”, but in “dip” with the meaning “moor, morass”. Depenouwe and other derivations indicate the location in a damp, meadow-rich area: "Boggy, swampy floodplain".

The crossing over the small river Wickriede in what used to be a very boggy area was an important strategic point for long-distance connections. The old post road from Hanover to Osnabrück crossed here with the south-north connection from Minden to Oldenburg. This also explains the centuries of controversy between the Bishops of Minden and the Counts of Hoya . In a Hoya document it is mentioned that in 1383 "dat nige slot, gone de Depenauwe" was destroyed by the Minden family. Alternately, castles and palaces were built in the following years and then destroyed again from the opposite side. Up to the 18th century there were different opinions about the border of the "Mindener Wald". In later times the rooms of the Diepenau Castle offered accommodation for "high-ranking personalities". Members of the Hanoverian royal family stayed here several times on the way from Hanover via Holland to England.

On the night of March 21-22, 1822, a conflagration broke out in Diepenau, which spread so quickly during the prevailing storm that over two thirds of the buildings were in full flames within an hour and the entire building at 9 a.m. Stains, with the exception of ten buildings, was a victim of flames.

In 1863 there were eleven Jewish families in Diepenau and three each in Uchte and Warmsen. The families lived mainly from slaughter, they also ran some agriculture and traded. Heads of the Diepenau community were Herz Lilienfeld (1844), Isaak Wolfers (1856/57 and 1872 until his death in 1878), and Hirsch S. Lilienfeld. On August 19, 1938, the Samenfeld family, the last Jewish residents, left the town (Lavelsloh) to escape the Nazi tyranny.

Incorporations

On March 1, 1974, the communities Essern, Nordel and Steinbrink were incorporated.
