Hagenburg is a spot in the northeast of the district Schaumburg in Lower Saxony , which the joint community Sachsenhagen belongs. It is located in the Steinhuder Meer nature park .

geography

Hagenburg is located on the south bank of the Steinhuder Meer , between the Rehburg Mountains and the Neustädter Moor, west of Steinhude and north of Sachsenhagen . The federal road 441 leads through the place.

In 1970 the "Flecken Hagenburg" was created in anticipation of the state-wide regional and administrative reform from the two previously independent municipalities of Hagenburg and Altenhagen. The corresponding ordinance, which the Interior Minister of Lower Saxony signed in 1969, contains the sentence: "Districts are not formed." In 1974, Hagenburg became a member of the Sachsenhagen joint municipality .

history

The area around the Steinhuder Meer was settled in prehistoric times. In 1247 the Hagenhufendorf Altenhagen "Oldenhagen" was first mentioned in a document. Because of this linguistic reference, it can be assumed with certainty that the "Nienhagen" a few kilometers further south-west arose only a few years later. Thus the beginnings of Altenhagen and Hagenburg can both be found in the clearing phase of the 13th century.

Old names of the place are around 1378 Hagenborch, 1431 Haghenborch and 1560 Hagenburch.

The castle Hagenborch finally built by the Earl of Rhodes was in 1378 first mentioned. The street village , which is still recognizable today, developed in their Vorwerk . The Hagenhufenzeile "Nienhagen" along Schierstrasse is no longer recognizable.

After the place was devastated in the Thirty Years War , today's Hagenburg Castle of the Princes of Schaumburg-Lippe was built on the site of the castle in 1686 . At that time, Hagenburg was a post office until 1860, when the Steinhuder Meer Railway ran through the town. From 1765 to 1767, Count Wilhelm zu Schaumburg-Lippe had the island fortress Wilhelmstein built in the Steinhuder Meer . To do this, he had a branch canal dug from Hagenburg Castle to the lake shore.

In 1894 the shooting society gave itself statutes.

The establishment of a volunteer fire brigade had already been considered in Hagenburg around 1900. This project was delayed until 1910. Thanks to the initiative of the "old master tailor" Heinrich Schaer (1862-1924) it was possible that in April 1910 the Hagenburg volunteer fire department became the third rural fire department in the Principality of Schaumburg-Lippe (after Bückeburg and Stadthagen ) Founded. In 1943 the Altenhagen fire fighting group was merged with the Hagenburg fire department.

In the recent past, Hagenburg has developed into an attractive residential location. Since around 1990, the population has increased from around 3000 to currently (2009) around 4600 inhabitants due to the designation of spacious residential areas. The infrastructure has also grown with it. Several supermarkets, doctors, dentists, kindergartens and elementary schools can be found on site, and the area also offers opportunities for trade and commerce. Tourism plays an increasingly important role. While in the neighboring Steinhude the tourism dominates the town center, offers Hagenburg walking and cycling.

Every year on the second weekend in July, a shooting festival is held in Hagenburg, organized by the shooting association of 1848 Hagenburg-Altenhagen eV on the fairground at the Försterteich. 80 musicians from the Bundeswehr offer a varied musical repertoire.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1970, the Altenhagen community was incorporated.

religion

Hagenburg has been Protestant since the Reformation. Later on, families of Jewish faith also settled there. There was its own synagogue on Hainholzstrasse. Before expulsion and deportation in World War II , 17 Jews were still living in Hagenburg. Today around 3000 residents are Protestant and belong to the parish Altenhagen-Hagenburg with the St. Nicolai Church , the around 700 Catholic residents belong to the parish of St. Bonifatius in Wunstorf. The New Apostolic congregation in Hagenburg was attached to the congregation in Wunstorf.
