the province of Hanover (1905)

In the Middle Ages, the region around Rotenburg belonged to the spiritual territory of Verden , which after the Thirty Years' War , which was devastating for the region, initially became part of the Swedish area of Bremen-Verden within the Holy Roman Empire . After a brief Danish occupation in 1718/19, the region came to the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (also called Kurhannover ). During the Napoleonic Wars, the French Empire annexed the areas between the Weser and Elbe. After the Congress of Vienna and the establishment of the Kingdom of Hanover as the successor to the former Electorate of Hanover, Landdrosteien and offices were created to administer the region. In the south of the Landdrostei Stade there were the offices of Rotenburg and Ottersberg , which extended over parts of the historical territory of Verden . After the Ottersberg Office was dissolved, its eastern parts fell to the neighboring Rotenburg Office. In 1866 the Kingdom of Hanover was annexed by Prussia after the lost German War . The administrative structures were initially retained.

On April 1, 1885, as part of the formation of districts in the province of Hanover from 1884 from the Rotenburg office and the community Fintel from the Soltau office, the Rotenburg district was formed and allocated to the Stade administrative region. The community of Lauenbrück , which is now part of the Fintel community , moved from the neighboring Harburg district to the Rotenburg district in 1932 . After the Second World War, Hanover became an independent state again after the dissolution of Prussia, before it united with smaller neighboring states to form Lower Saxony, to which the district of Rotenburg also belonged. During this time, the district took on the sponsorship of the Angerburg district in East Prussia . Until June 18, 1969, the district of Rotenburg in Hanover was called .

The law on the reorganization of the communities in the Rotenburg area resulted in an extensive community reform on March 1, 1974, which reduced the number of communities in the district from 64 to 21. With the incorporation of the municipality of Kettenburg from the Fallingbostel district into the city of Visselhövede , the district experienced a small increase in area.

On August 1, 1977, as part of the Lower Saxony district reform, the district was merged with the Bremervörde district , which had already been expanded to include the former Zeven district in 1932 , to form the new, larger district of Rotenburg (Wümme) .
