history
Prehistory and early history
Oldest evidence of human existence in the area is an estimated at 60,000 years hand-ax , which is owned by the Hamelin is the museum. A ford through the Weser made it possible to connect to an early road network . Street names and the Hellberg are reminiscent of the Hellweg .
middle Ages
Emmerthal was in the " Tilithigau ". Charlemagne is said to have founded a mission center with a church in " Ohsen " (later "Kirchohsen" and today's seat of administration in the core area of the municipality of Emmerthal), which was archdeacon of the Bishop of Minden from around 800 to 1200 . The monastery of St. Boniface had existed since around 800, but the bishop chose the easily accessible Ohsen as the seat of his archdeacon and deputy.
In the year 1004 Ohsen was mentioned for the first time . King Henry II , the saint , signed a deed in Villa Ohsen.
In the conflict between Franconia, Saxony and Welfen (" Heinrich the Lion "), the Counts of Everstein developed from their Everstein Castle , located on the Everstein between Lobach and Negenborn (west of Stadtoldendorf ), from independence and power. With their castles in Hermersen ( Hämelschenburg ), Ohsen Castle and the Ohr Manor , they shaped the Emmerthal area in the 12th and 13th centuries.
Further documented mentions of Ohsen come from the year 1259. After the end of the Duchy of Saxony , the Counts of Everstein and the noble lords of Homburg were the most powerful dynasties in southern Lower Saxony . The families' possessions overlapped in the area of the Weser . In the turmoil of time, the Homburgs stood on the side of Henry the Lion , the Counts of Everstein fought with Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa . After Heinrich's fall, the Everstein counts sought protection from the Bishop of Cologne and transferred Ohsen Castle to him . But the counts could not stop the advance of Heinrich the Lion: They had to give up Everstein Castle and moved to Ohsen. From 1408 the office of Ohsen was under the principality of Calenberg .
Modern times
The Emmerthal area has a checkered history with acts of war and the desolation of settlements.
- The Protestant Church of St. Mary of 1563 remained in the Thirty Years' War only by Anna Klenckes courage and Tilly threat of the death penalty against the looting and pillaging of the Catholic troops spared. In contrast, the Weser bridge was destroyed by Grohnde in 1633. Today there is a yaw ferry there .
- In the Seven Years' War Hämelschenburg was occupied. On July 24th and 25th, 1757, the French troops, under the command of Marshal d'Estrées, pitched their camps around Frenke, Börry and Bessinghausen, only to win the Battle of Hastenbeck the next day .
- In 1654 and 1655 the procedures against a witch and a magician were described in detail in the church book of Kirch ohsen.
When the offices of Grohnde and Ohsen later administered the area, the situation had improved. In 1810 the Ohrberg Park was laid out . In 1823 the smaller office of Ohsen was incorporated into the office of Grohnde, which in turn was incorporated into the office of Hameln in 1859 . This resulted in the Prussian district of Hameln in 1885 .
20th century
The municipality of Emmerthal was formed by the "Law for the reorganization of the municipalities in the Hameln area" on January 1, 1973 from 17 previously independent places.
