Location of the Diepholz district in the province of Hanover

The Diepholz district was a district in the Prussian province of Hanover from 1885 to 1932 . The district seat was in Diepholz .

history

The Diepholz district was created on April 1, 1885 as part of the formation of districts in the province of Hanover from the Diepholz office , which was formed in 1859 from the three offices Diepholz, Auburg and Lemförde .

The offices already existed under the Diepholz Counts and after their extinction in 1585 came partly to the Lüneburg (Celler) line of the Welfenhauses (Diepholz and Lemförde) and partly to Hesse ( Auburg ).

• The Auburg office comprised the eastern part of the County of Diepholz with the places Barnstorf , Drentwede and Wagenfeld . The official seat was the Auburg estate .
• The office of Diepholz took the north with the spots Diepholz and Cornau . The office also included Jacobidrebber and Mariendrebber as well as the localities of what is now Rehden, together with Barver .
• The office Lemförde was in the southwest and comprised the area of ​​today's integrated municipality Altes Amt Lemförde .

In 1665 Diepholz and Lemförde were ceded by Lüneburg-Celle to Duke Ernst August , Bishop of Osnabrück, and kept them when he took over the government of the Principality of Calenberg in 1679 . Auburg remained under Hessian administration until 1816 and was subordinate to the Rinteln government . In the years of French rule 1807-1810, the county of Diepholz belonged to the Aller department of the Kingdom of Westphalia , then to the department of the mouth of the Weser of the French Empire . In the period after that, there were some changes in the administrative organization, in which the Office Auburg was ceded by Hesse in 1816 and initially incorporated into the Office Diepholz as an official bailiff and then made independent again in 1852 as "Office Auburg zu Diepholz". In 1820 Diepholz gave the parish of Colnrade and in 1852 the farmers of Rüssen to the Harpstedt office.

During the district reform in 1932, the Diepholz district was merged with the neighboring Sulingen district to form the new district of Grafschaft Diepholz .
