history
middle Ages

The von Schwege family of knights was first mentioned in 1248, and they had their ancestral home on a homonymous estate. The first written mention of Welplage goes back to 1306. Hunteburg is first mentioned in a document from 1324, in which the knight Friedrich von Schwege assigned land for the Hunteburg to the Osnabrück bishop Gottfried Graf von Arnsberg. The castle Hunteburg one of a series of pen castles with which the Osnabrück bishops from 1250 to 1370, the limit of the Bishopric of Osnabrück guaranteed. Little is known about the Hunteburg complex. What is certain is that it consisted of a stone house surrounded by a wooden fence and a system of ditches fed by the Hunte. A stone arch bridge from 1424, which is considered the oldest structure in Hunteburg, is still preserved today. In 1378 the Hunteburg office was set up, to which the present-day communities Bohmte and Ostercappeln belonged. At the end of the 14th century, Bishop Friedrich von Horn founded a chapel in which a priest from Ostercappeln read mass from 1402. In 1492 Hunteburg received its own parish. Shortly afterwards, an early Gothic wooden church dedicated to the Three Kings was built. Towards the end of the 16th century the Hunteburg fell into disrepair and was torn down completely in 1618.
Reformation and Thirty Years War
A report on the church visitation in 1624 states that Pastor Klinghammer held simultaneous services for both denominations in the church. In 1633 the church was set on fire by Swedish troops. In accordance with the provisions of the Westphalian Peace Treaty and the resolutions passed at the Reichstag in Nuremberg in 1650, the people of the Osnabrück Monastery were guaranteed the freedom to practice their religion with the Perpetual Capitulatio perpetua osnabrugensis. The Hunteburg Church was awarded to the Catholic community and allowed to use by both denominations. The simultaneous relationship was also transferred to the church, which was built in 1688. The Protestant Christians did not use the church, however, but attended services in Dielingen and Venne.
18th and 19th centuries
In 1725 a new office building was built on the foundations of the Hunteburg. In 1776 a school for Protestant children was established in Meyerhöfen. During the Napoleonic Wars, Hunteburg changed nationality several times at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1803 the bishopric was secularized and declared the Principality of Osnabrück. In 1806 Hunteburg came to the Kingdom of Prussia, 1807 to the Kingdom of Westphalia , in 1811 it fell to the French Empire and in 1815 it was added to the newly formed Kingdom of Hanover at the Congress of Vienna . The Hunteburg office was merged with the Wittlage office . From 1852 to 1859 the two offices were separated again for a few years. In 1866 Hunteburg and the Kingdom of Hanover fell to Prussia. Since 1885 the two former offices of Wittlage and Hunteburg formed the district of Wittlage .
In 1815 Protestants from Welplage and Schwege founded an Evangelical Lutheran parish. On April 15 of the same year, the first Evangelical Lutheran service in Hunteburg was celebrated in the Matthäuskirche .
Heinrich Daniel Andreas Sonne reports in his work “Description of the Kingdom of Hanover”, published in 1834, that Hunteburg had 38 houses with 313 inhabitants and that “There is a lot of poverty here”.
20th century
Since the beginning of the 20th century, peat has been mined industrially in Hunteburg. The Hannoversche Kolonisations- und Moorverwertungs-Aktiengesellschaft (Hakumag), founded in 1909, built a power plant with an electrical output of 2.6 megawatts in Schwegermoor. Sulfuric acid ammonia was supposed to be extracted from the peat as a nitrogen fertilizer by charring. The methane gas produced was used to generate electricity. Hakumag opened the plant in 1911. The power plant was shut down as early as 1913 because the peat quantities supplied were insufficient because the drying process was too long. In the following years Hakumag limited itself to the sale of white and black peat. In the 20s and 30s, seasonal workers from Holland and Slovakia, among others, were employed in the moor. During the Second World War , the Hakumag used forced labor as well as Polish and Russian prisoners of war.
The plant gave the place an economic boom. The Hakumag built the Schwegermoorsiedlung for the workers. With the extension of the Wittlager Kreisbahn route from Bohmte to Damme, Hunteburg received a connection to the railway network in 1914. The last passenger train ran on the route in 1971, and freight traffic was also discontinued in 2004.
In 1928 a new school building for children from Welplage and Schwege was built in Welplage, in which one Catholic and one Protestant school were housed. The school was expanded several times in the 60s, 70s and 90s. In 1972 the two denominational schools merged to form a school for children of all denominations.
In the course of the general regional reform, the joint municipality of Hunteburg was dissolved on July 1, 1972, and its three member municipalities Schwege, Welplage and Meyerhöfen were incorporated into the municipality of Bohmte.
Churches
The Evangelical Lutheran St. Matthew's Church from 1815 is in Hunteburg. In 2009, the St. Matthew's Foundation was established by the Evangelical Lutheran parish.
The Catholic Church "Holy Trinity" from 1668 was expanded in 1950. It is next to the Catholic cemetery.

In the parsonage of Hunteburg he is said to have received suggestions for " Die pious Helene ". In reality, this picture story appeared in 1872.
