The district of Grafschaft Hoya was a district in Lower Saxony (until 1946 in the province of Hanover ) with the administrative seat in Syke .
Neighboring areas
In 1977 the district bordered clockwise to the north, starting with the state of Bremen , the districts Verden , Fallingbostel , Nienburg / Weser , Grafschaft Diepholz , Vechta and Oldenburg and the independent city of Delmenhorst (all in Lower Saxony).
history
The district of Grafschaft Hoya was created in 1932 from the union of the greater part of the district of Hoya with the district of Syke in the district reform at the end of the Weimar Republic. In 1932 the new district comprised 113 municipalities on 1,200 km², including the three towns of Syke, Bassum and Hoya with a total of around 78,000 inhabitants. Twistringen was raised to the fourth town in the district in 1964.
The regional reform in Lower Saxony began in the Syke-Hoya area on July 1, 1972, when Riede and Felde moved to the Verden district and merged to form the Riede community in the Thedinghausen community. As a result of the Hanover Act , the municipality of Stuhr moved from the Oldenburg district to the Hoya district on March 1, 1974 and was expanded to include the districts of Brinkum , Fahrenhorst , Groß Mackenstedt , Heiligenrode and Seckenhausen . In addition, on March 1, 1974, the number of parishes was reduced from 112 in 1966 to 29 through further parish mergers. As part of the Lower Saxony district reform , the district was dissolved on August 1, 1977:
- The integrated community of Harpstedt in the west of the district came with its eight communities to the district of Oldenburg in the administrative region of Weser-Ems .
- The combined communities of Grafschaft Hoya and Eystrup in the east of the district came to the district of Nienburg / Weser with a total of ten communities.
- The eleven communities from the central part of the district were combined with the also dissolved Grafschaft Diepholz district to form the new Diepholz district.
