The Grafschaft Schaumburg district , based in Rinteln, was a district in Lower Saxony until 1977 . It was established on January 1, 1822 as the Schaumburg district in the Electorate of Hesse , came to the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau as the Rinteln district in 1866 and was named Grafschaft Schaumburg in 1905 . Since 1932 it belonged to the Prussian province of Hanover and since 1946 to Lower Saxony. Its area emerged from the Kurhessian part of the Grafschaft Schaumburg and today belongs to the Schaumburg district with the exception of the city of Hessisch Oldendorf , which belongs to the Hameln-Pyrmont district .

history

Map of the Hessian county of Schaumburg (1840)

When Count Otto V. von Holstein-Schaumburg and Count Otto V. von Holstein-Schaumburg died on November 15, 1640 under unexplained circumstances (after a drinking binge), the last male "Schaumburger" of this line began a seven-year inheritance dispute. Count Philipp zu Lippe-Alverdissen obtained the support of Hesse-Kassel by marrying a Hesse-Kassel princess and thus did not receive the enfeoffment of the entire county in the Peace of Westphalia , but part of it (1647). He received the northern part, the southern part went to Hessen-Kassel . The University of Rinteln , the Weser Tolls and the coal mines remained joint property of Hessen-Kassel and Schaumburg-Lippe , as the northern part was called from then on. The Lippe legacy, which took on the name Schaumburg, existed from 1807 under the name of the Principality of Schaumburg-Lippe , the Hessian half along the Weser and beyond the Auetal in the north to behind Bad Nenndorf became the Hessian County of Schaumburg .

On January 1, 1822, this southern part of the Weser valley came to the province of Niederhessen as the district of Schaumburg . As part of the separation of administration and jurisdiction, the district was only responsible for administration. The judicial offices of Rinteln , Obernkirchen , Oldendorf and Rodenberg were established as courts of first instance .

With the "law concerning the formation of new administrative districts and the introduction of district councils" of October 31, 1848 and the corresponding ordinance of December 22, 1848, which came into effect on February 1, 1849, the previous four provinces were dissolved and nine districts were established . This change was a consequence of the March Revolution . Different districts were formed from the previous province of Niederhessen , including the district identical to the Schaumburg district . At the head of the district stood a district director. From 1848 to 1851 this was Theodor von Heppe.

The new administrative structure was dissolved shortly after the reaction prevailed. With the ordinance and the “provisional” “law concerning the reshuffle of the internal state administration and the executive power of the administrative authorities and the district councils” of July 7, 1851, the old order was restored.

In 1866 the district was attached to the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau under the name Rinteln District . In 1904 the name of the district was changed to Grafschaft Schaumburg . In 1932 it was incorporated into the Prussian province of Hanover as part of an area swap. The county seat was Rinteln .

The community of Schöttlingen formed an exclave of the Grafschaft Schaumburg district and was reclassified in 1955 to the surrounding Schaumburg-Lippe district. In return, the two communities in Schaumburg-Lippe, Beeke and Rösehöfe, became part of the Grafschaft Schaumburg district and were incorporated into the town of Obernkirchen .

On January 1, 1973, the Hemeringen community moved from the Hameln-Pyrmont district to the Grafschaft Schaumburg district and was incorporated into the town of Hessisch Oldendorf on January 29, 1973. Further border changes took place on March 1, 1974:

• Idensermoor-Niengraben left the district and was incorporated into Wunstorf in the Hanover district.
• Liekwegen left the district and was incorporated into Nienstädt in the Schaumburg-Lippe district.
• Ottensen left the district and was incorporated into Lindhorst in the Schaumburg-Lippe district.
• Reinsen left the district and was incorporated into Stadthagen in the Schaumburg-Lippe district.
• Schermbeck left the district and was incorporated into Luhden in the Schaumburg-Lippe district.
• Gelldorf and Vehlen , from the Schaumburg-Lippe district, were incorporated into Obernkirchen.
• Nienbrügge from the district of Schaumburg-Lippe was incorporated into Sachsenhagen .
• Steinbergen from the district of Schaumburg-Lippe was incorporated into Rinteln.
• The community of Beckedorf moved from the district to the Schaumburg-Lippe district.
• The four communities of Hülsede , Lauenau , Messenkamp and Pohle moved from the dissolved district of Springe to the district of Grafschaft Schaumburg.

As a result of further mergers, the total number of communities decreased from 88 in 1972 to 17 now, including the five cities of Hessisch Oldendorf, Obernkirchen, Rinteln, Rodenberg and Sachsenhagen. In the course of administrative reform of 1 August 1977, the largest part was the district with the district of Schaumburg-Lippe for Schaumburg merged with the county town of Stadthagen. The city of Hessisch Oldendorf moved to the Hameln-Pyrmont district.
