geography
The distance from Rehburg to Hanover and Bremen is about 45 and 105 km respectively. The settlement area has the shape of a street village , it is bounded in the north by an extensive forest and moor area, in the south and south-west by the ridge of the Rehburg Mountains and in the east by the Steinhuder Meer. In the remaining directions there is pasture and meadow landscape. Rehburg is also traversed by the Steinhuder Meerbach in an east-west direction.
history
The castle Rehburg was middle of the 13th century by the Guelph erected as a border fortification. Timbers found in Rehburg from a billet dam, which could be dated to the year 1321, suggest that the place was created at this time.
The city charter was granted in 1648. Rehburg was the Hanoverian official seat for the area of today's town Rehburg-Loccum, supplemented by the places Wiedensahl and Mardorf . About 3 km west of Rehburg are the remains of the early medieval circular ramparts in Düsselburg . The fortification, which today consists of earth walls, probably served the population as a refuge between the 8th and 10th centuries . An archaeological excavation took place in 1904. On the Haarberg between Rehburg and Winzlar lies the desolation of the medieval settlement Munichehausen , the ancestral seat of the aristocratic family Münchhausen . A memorial stone reminds of this.
During the Seven Years' War there were frequent marches of troops in Rehburg. After the battle of Hastenbeck there was a hospital with 500 wounded and sick. As a result, diseases spread that wiped out a large part of the population.
The last public execution took place at Rehburg Castle around 1850. In 1851, the last public execution took place in the Rehburg district on the so-called “Köppebarg” (Köppeberg), a small wooded heather hill in the Feldmark north-east of Rehburg. In the presence of a large crowd, an executioner judged the Schneeren father murderer Wiebking (Wiepking) with a sword. Most public executions were followed by a very short report. On the first page of a prospectus on the execution in Rehburg you can read: "The life and execution of the father murderer Wiepking, from Schneeren, district of Rehburg, who was brought from life to death by means of the sword on September 12th." There was also a place of execution on the road in the direction of Mardorf (still recognizable today by a small group of trees).
In the 19th century a mounted gendarme was stationed in Bad Rehburg. His service area also included Mardorf. The representatives on site were responsible for auxiliary services. Field guards (order in the Feldmark), community servants and night watchmen had police power.
The Rehburger Bürger- und Heimatverein commemorates the history of the place with a memorial stone.
The Rehburg (city) volunteer fire brigade was founded on January 16, 1896 as the first in the Stolzenau district. 32 men joined the volunteer fire department. The first commander was the master baker Heinrich Lustfeld. Since then, the fire brigade has provided fire protection and general help.
On March 1, 1974, Rehburg merged with the municipalities of Bad Rehburg , Münchehagen , Loccum and Winzlar to form the town of Rehburg-Loccum as a unified municipality, the administrative seat of which is in Rehburg, the largest of the five districts.
