The districts Sachsenhagen and Nienbrügge belong to the city of Sachsenhagen .
history
Sachsenhagen goes on the Wasserburg Sachsenhagen in Dülwald back to 1248 to 1253 by Duke Albrecht I. (1175-1260, from the House of Saxony Askanier "and grandson of the Bear Albrecht "), was built south of the Saxony Hagen Aue, to take possession of the area. Since the diocese of Minden registered sovereignty in the Sachsenhäger area, Duke Albrecht I of Saxony had to hand over part of the castle he had built to the Bishop of Minden in 1253. A document from 1253 reports about Castro Sassenhagen .
In 1297 Count Adolf VI married . von Holstein-Schaumburg Helene, the daughter of Duke Johann I von Sachsen-Lauenburg and the sister of the Dukes Johann, Albrecht and Erich von Sachsen-Lauenburg. Instead of a dowry of 500 marks of pure silver, Helene brought the pledge and thus the power of disposal over the Saxon part of Burg and the village of Sachsenhagen into the marriage. Sachsenhagen Castle was never returned or the pledge was never redeemed and has been under Schaumburg's sovereignty ever since.
Although town and castle bear the name of a Hagens, the origin is not a peasant Hagen settlement as in the near Auhagen , but a peasant spots , going about its inhabitants besides the arable economic free trade and craft.
On May 8, 1407, the Sachsenhagen settlement received by Count Adolf XI. von Holstein-Schaumburg stain rights with guarantee of freedom of movement, freely inheritable and alienable property, exemption from landlord official duties and assurance of a council constitution.
In 1561 Sachsenhagen was granted the right to use seals or coats of arms and the creation of a book of stains equivalent to the city books by Count Otto IV of Holstein-Schaumburg. The first coat of arms shows the silver nettle leaf without a shield in the red field above a pond.
In 1596 the Sachsenhagen office became the inheritance of Count Ernst von Holstein-Schaumburg and his wife Hedwig , the daughter of Landgrave Wilhelm IV the Wise of Hesse-Kassel. The moated castle Sachsenhagen is expanded into a palace by Count Ernst. In 1601, Count Ernst moved to Stadthagen because, after the death of his stepbrother Adolf, he took over the rule of the Grafschaft Schaumburg and was appointed Prince in 1619. The Sachsenhagen office falls to Count Hermann in 1622, who moves to Sachsenhagen Castle with his wife Katharina Sophia, daughter of Duke Otto II of Braunschweig-Lüneburg-Harburg. He resided at Sachsenhagen Castle until his death on December 15, 1634. Despite the division of the county in 1647, his widow Katharina Sophia continued to live in Sachsenhagen Castle until her death at the old age of 88 on September 18, 1665.
A conflagration of 1619, which destroyed the entire place, survived only the town hall and the castle, which still has individual components from the Middle Ages (tower) and the 16th and 17th centuries ( caryatid portal ).
In 1647, after the male line of the counts died out , the old Grafschaft Schaumburg was divided with the 27-year-old Otto V. von Holstein-Schaumburg . The division was sealed in treaties in the Peace of Westphalia (October 1648). The southern and eastern half of the Sachsenhagen office came to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel under the Hessian Landgravine Amalie Elisabeth (1637–1650) as the widow of the Landgrave of Hessen-Kassel. Sachsenhagen became a border town and is therefore a part of Hesse's enclave in the county of Schaumburg-Lippe.
In 1650 Sachsenhagen received town charter under Hessian rule.
In 1807 Sachsenhagen became part of the Kingdom of Westphalia under King Jérôme Bonaparte in the Weser Department. Sachsenhagen was the capital of a canton with nine municipalities in the Rinteln / Weser district. After the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1813, Sachsenhagen again belonged to the Hessian county of Schaumburg.
After the Hessian administrative reform in 1821, the county of Schaumburg was called Kreis Schaumburg in the province of Niederhessen, Justice Office Rodenberg.
In 1839 the neighboring village of Kuhlen was incorporated.
“Sachsenhagen, the northernmost of the Hessian cities, is located on the plain on an island in the floodplain, 5 ½ hours from Rinteln. To the south of the city lie the ruins of the castle of the same name, ”says a description of the Electorate of Hesse from 1842.
Sachsenhagen came in 1866 to the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau in the Prussian Reg.-Bez. Kassel.
On December 28, 1877, the domain and the lands belonging to it were auctioned for 242,030 marks by the city, and the domain land was incorporated, divided and sold to the citizens of the city.
The district of Grafschaft Schaumburg and thus Sachsenhagen were assigned to the province of Hanover in 1932 as part of an administrative reform within Prussia and also to the NSDAP Gau Westfalen Nord with its headquarters in Münster.
After the state of Lower Saxony was founded in 1946, Sachsenhagen belonged to the Grafschaft Schaumburg district with Rinteln as the district town.
The founding year of the volunteer fire brigade is dated to 1889 due to the statutes dated July 7, 1889. In 1912 the "new volunteer fire brigade" was founded. New statutes, printed by W. Leimbach, also date from 1912.
After the end of the war in 1945, released forced laborers killed Eduard Bock, the leader of the volunteer fire brigade, in his workshop.
In the course of the administrative and territorial reform in the state of Lower Saxony on March 1, 1974, the city was included together with the place Nienbrügge as a member municipality Sachsenhagen in the joint municipality Sachsenhagen.
On January 28, 2010, a fire destroyed a half-timbered residential and commercial building in the old town, causing a wave of helpfulness.
On March 1, 1974, the neighboring municipality of Nienbrügge was incorporated.
Village renewal:
Between 2003 and 2012 Sachsenhagen was in the village renewal program of the state of Lower Saxony. In the private sector, the state funded 20 projects with 118,014 euros. In the public sector, eight construction projects were subsidized with 609,761 euros. The public investment volume amounted to ~ 2.75 million euros. The city contributed ~ 1.24 million euros of this. The heart of the village renewal was the redesign and redesign of the Sachsenhagen market square.
religion
In Sachsenhagen, the town hall, built in 1607, initially served as a prayer house, which consequently received a bell tower in 1712. The Evangelical Lutheran parish of Sachsenhagen, with around 2000 members, with Auhagen since 1990, is part of the Evangelical Lutheran regional church of Schaumburg-Lippe. It became an independent parish in 1650 when Countess Amalie Elisabeth zu Hessen-Kassel was granted city rights . This also included the right to build a church, which was then built between 1663 and 1676, initially without a tower due to a lack of financial means. A generous donation from Ms. Elisabeth Tunner-Hartmann made it possible to add a church tower in 1976. The church was completely renovated in 1996/97. Since August 29, 2004 it has been called the Elisabeth Church . The name is not assigned to a special person, it means "God is perfection" and can therefore be understood as a "program". Nevertheless, one can associate it with the biblical Elizabeth as a synonym for the joy of faith or assign it to the holy Elizabeth as a symbol for charity.
Before the expulsion and deportation by the Nazi regime, there was a Jewish synagogue (Kuhle) and a Jewish cemetery in Sachsenhagen. This is still preserved as a park today.
The Catholic Sacred Heart Church in Sachsenhagen, consecrated on July 21, 1963 by Auxiliary Bishop Heinrich Pachowiak , belongs to the Hildesheim diocese with the Weserbergland deanery and is used as a branch church of the parish of St. Joseph in Stadthagen.

The core of the residential tower probably dates back to the 14th century. From 1565 it was renewed by Jacob Kölling and provided with a stair tower. The office building opposite was built in its current form as a residential building in 1595–97, but it probably contains an older core. It is a low solid building with a hipped roof, which has a bay window on the gable side. In front of the castle there is a large Renaissance bowl, which today serves as a fountain. It was created towards the end of the 16th century and is decorated with scrollwork and fittings . In 1597 Count Ernst is said to have given the fountain to Hedwig for the pleasure garden. -
