Erichshagen-Wölpe is a district of the city of Nienburg / Weser in Lower Saxony .
history
A burial mound field in Erichshagen is the first place where a Nienburg cup was found , which is a characteristic type of vessel from the Harpstedt-Nienburger group , a cultural group of the pre-Roman Iron Age .
The place is first mentioned as Wölpe in the Bremen deed of foundation of July 14th, 788. The reign of the Counts of Wölpe was from 1120 to 1301. On January 30, 1302, the County of Wölpe became the Calenberg Office of Wölpe.
In the Hildesheim collegiate feud between 1519 and 1523, Wölpe Castle was destroyed and then restored as a castle by Duke Erich I. He founded a settlement near the castle, which was named after him (Erich) and because of the village shape of a Hagenhufendorf (-hagen) as Erichshagen. The Erichshagen district was first mentioned in a document in 1568. Nevertheless, for a long time the place was popularly known as Wölpe.
Wölpe Castle was conquered and damaged by the mercenary troops of the general Tilly during the Thirty Years' War . Because of the damage, the castle was razed after the war and converted into an official building. The Amt Wölpe was administered from this Amtshof.
In the 19th century, another official building was built near the street, which still exists today. It is the former district court building that is on the main road at the entrance to the castle hill. It served as a forester's house for many years and is now a residential building.
The Wölpe settlement not far from the Amtshof had around 100 residents in the 19th century. In the Wölpe office in 1831 the peasants were freed from bondage to their landowners. The office was dissolved in 1859 as part of a community reform and assigned to the offices of Nienburg and Neustadt.
On March 1, 1974, Erichshagen was incorporated into the city of Nienburg / Weser as part of the Lower Saxony community reform and has since been part of the city. The district was renamed from Erichshagen to Erichshagen-Wölpe in 2008.
