history

The settlement was first mentioned in 1033 as "Honredere" in the sources of the Minden diocese. In the 16th century, five full Meier and two half Meier farms as well as four Kleinkötner farms have been documented; the number of farms remained largely constant for the next few centuries due to Meierstätt law .

The Quaker community in Hohenrode

One of the few Quaker settlements in Germany existed here in the early 1790s . General von Lossberg , who had fought with soldiers from the Schaumburg region in the American War of Independence , brought Quakerism with him. The history of the families of Friedrich Flake and Johann Hermann is documented in the chronicle. The behavior of the Quakers was soon taken offense, and the clergy and authorities saw their authority threatened. The pastor and church elders were forbidden from gathering, but the Quakers did not adhere to this. Citizens were urged not to sell food to Quaker families. That didn't stop the Quakers from refusing to pay church taxes and calling the pastor a “priest”. The events escalated to the High Princely Office of Schaumburg. The Schüttemeier's son was forced to baptize in 1791 , and Schüttemeier and his friends were sent to prison. But despite this treatment, the Quaker families remained inflexible, which led to the Schüttemeier and Flake families being expelled in 1792 for violating the state laws of the country and their properties and houses being forcibly sold. Many Hohenroder people showed the displaced people because of their steadfastness. The Schüttemeier and Flake found exile in the tolerant Bad Pyrmont .
