history
1885 to 1932
The first district of Nienburg was formed in 1885 in the Prussian province of Hanover through the merger of the previous office of Nienburg in the sub- county of Hoya with the non-office city of Nienburg.
1932 until today
During the district reform in the province of Hanover on October 1, 1932, the old district of Nienburg, the district of Stolzenau and the communities of Haßbergen and Anderten from the dissolved district of Hoya were merged to form the significantly larger district of Nienburg / Weser.
On March 1, 1974, the district was fundamentally redesigned by the Hanover Act as part of the Lower Saxony regional reform:
- The communities of Bockhop , Borstel , Campen , Sieden and Staffhorst were reclassified into the County of Diepholz .
- The Wiedensahl community was reclassified to the Schaumburg-Lippe district .
- The communities Lichtenhorst and Rodewald from the disbanded district of Neustadt am Rübenberge came to the district of Nienburg / Weser. Lichtenhorst was incorporated into Steimbke .
- As a result of the above-mentioned district changes and numerous parish mergers, the number of parishes in the district decreased from 71 to 26.
The district reached its current size on August 1, 1977, when ten communities from the east of the dissolved district of Grafschaft Hoya were incorporated into the district as part of the district reform in Lower Saxony . These communities belonged to the combined communities Grafschaft Hoya and Eystrup , which merged on January 1, 2011 to form the joint community Grafschaft Hoya.

Economy and Infrastructure
Commercial enterprises
The district of Nienburg / Weser is built on a broad regional economic structure with around 4900 small and medium-sized companies. In addition to traditional family businesses in the craft sector, paper and glass production, the chemical industry, food production, logistics as well as automotive suppliers, special machine construction and the field of regenerative energies are the industry focuses. Agriculture also makes a significant contribution to the region's economic output; especially the asparagus cultivation is known far beyond the region. The WIN GmbH business development agency takes care of the sustainable development of the economic region .
In the city of Nienburg there is an animal feed and glass industry. An important economic factor is the German armed forces , which are based here at some locations ; There is a larger location in particular in the Langendamm district of Nienburg. There are also some chemical companies in Nienburg.
Social facilities
The Mittelweser Clinics , which are now part of the Helios Clinics, are located in Nienburg and Stolzenau . The Hoya site was closed and the building demolished.
traffic

In addition, some state roads (e.g. L 349 and L 351) and a number of district roads cross the district.
The district is located away from motorways, as plans for the A 32 (Nienburg– Helmstedt ) and the A 35 (Nienburg– Bielefeld ) were never realized. The closest federal motorways are the A 7 and the A 27 , both of which are about 10 km from the district.
railroad
The district town of Nienburg received a rail connection with the opening of the Wunstorf – Bremen line in 1847 ; the line was built by the Hanover State Railway. From her three branch lines formerly branched off, namely the railway line to Rahden opened by the Prussian State Railway in 1910 , as well as the railway line to Diepholz and the railway line to Minden (from 1921 to today) completed by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (1920-1945) in 1921/22 former branch line to Stadthagen .
Before Uchte could be reached by the state railway, two narrow-gauge railways met here as early as 1898/99. The Mindener Kreisbahnen route led via Petershagen to Minden, the Steinhuder Meer Railway via Rehburg-Loccum to Wunstorf.
From the main line Wunstorf – Bremerhaven branches off in Eystrup a line that was built in 1881 by the Hoyaer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and led to the old station of Hoya on the right bank of the Weser; It was not until 1912 that she crossed the river to the small train station on the left bank. There was the connection to the narrow-gauge lines of the Kleinbahn Hoya – Syke – Asendorf GmbH , which led from 1900 to Syke and 1905 to Bücken. It was not until 1962/63 that the narrow-gauge railway was re-gauged after the merger of the two companies into the Verkehrsbetriebe Grafschaft Hoya GmbH , so that continuous traffic between Hoya and Syke became possible.
The rail network in the district once had a total length of 227 km, 73 km of which are still in full operation today, and a further 32 km are used by museum railways . Settings data:
- 1935: Rehburg City – Stolzenau – Uchte Klb. (28 km, meter gauge)
- 1960: Hoya – Bücken (3 km, meter gauge)
- 1961: Leese-Stolzenau – Münchehagen (–Stadthagen) (15 km)
- 1964: (Wunstorf–) Bad Rehburg city (7 km, meter gauge)
- 1968: Nienburg-Uchte (-Rahden) (59 km)
- 1969: Nienburg – Wietzen (–Sulingen – Diepholz) (17 km)
- 1972: Eystrup – Hoya – Hoyerhagen (–Syke) (14 km)
- 1973: (Todtenhausen–) Harrienstädt – Uchte (10 km)
