Velvet Oldenburg
The former Samt Oldenburg also Samt Oldenburg-Stoppelberg in East Westphalia was an office that was administered jointly by the Principality of Paderborn and the County of Lippe (from 1789 Principality) from 1358 to the beginning of the 19th century .
geography
At a distance of about 20 km west of the Weser section between Höxter and Holzminden , the area of the office extended from southeast to northwest. To the east, the office bordered the territory of Corvey Abbey . The southern and western borders formed the area of the Diocese of Paderborn and the county of Lippe was on its northern border.
The Office Oldenburg got its name from the built in the 12th century Oldenburg . Only a four-storey residential tower built in 1373 by the barons of Oeynhausen remains of this castle .
It rises on a hill above the road that leads from the village of Kollerbeck to the Marienmünster Abbey, about 2 km away . This tower is now privately inhabited. The barons of Oeynhausen lived on the Oldenburg until the 16th century. After that they lived about 3 km to the west, near the village of Sommersell , by the Greve brook, the Grevenburg estate as the new family home.
The west of the Oldenburg office is part of the fertile loess landscape of the Steinheimer Börde , while the eastern part belongs to the Lipper Bergland , which is dominated by the bare top of the 497 m high Köterberg .
history
In 1802 the office of Oldenburg came to Prussia . From 1807 to 1813 it was part of the Kingdom of Westphalia under French rule until it belonged to the Prussian province of Westphalia from 1816 . Today the area of the former Oldenburg office is in the Höxter district in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
18 places belonged to the Oldenburg office, mainly villages and small rural settlements or hamlets, which consisted of only a few farms.
Rulership, administration and the judiciary
The administration of the velvet rule was extremely complicated. The sovereign of "Oldenburg and Stoppelberg" had been the prince-bishop of Paderborn. The Hagedorn farmers, however, had sovereignty in Lippe. Sovereign income was distributed to the monastery and the county (1789 principality) according to a certain key. The case law was made jointly in the first instance. The Paderborn bailiff presided over Oldenburg-Stoppelberg. In the second instance, the Lippe government was responsible. Competence disputes were inevitable. Police matters were probably dealt with at the Velvet Year Court. It was made up of Drosten from Paderborn and Landgogreven from Lippe, and one office each from Paderborn and Lippe. The year court in the 18th century in Münsterbrock and "stubble Bergisches court" before the turnpike from Steinheim . The Drost Friedrich Wilhelm Bruno von Mengersen noted in 1806 that the annual judgment also always took place in Schwalenberg, as for the Velvet Schwalenberg.
The bailiff of Oldenburg-Stoppelberg was appointed by the Paderborn prince-bishop, the sub-civil servants (judges, rulers, field riflemen) together with the Lippe count / prince.
Until the end of the prince-bishopric, most of the men from Mengersen zu Rheder were disapproved of office :
- Burchard Bruno von Mengersen zu Rheder (1670–1730)
- Franz Joseph Maria von Mengersen zu Rheder (1705–1780)
- Clemens August Bruno von Mengersen zu Rheder (1742–1800)
- Friedrich Wilhelm Bruno von Mengersen zu Rheder (1777–1836)
Church structure
The area was Roman Catholic. Ecclesiastically, the parishes of the office were cared for by the four parishes Marienmünster, Sommersell, Steinheim and Vörden (Marienmünster) . The parish of Marienmünster included the 12 villages of the Oldenburg office, which were located in the north, east and in the middle of the Oldenburg office. These included: Münsterbrock , Born , Bremerberg , Kollerbeck , Großenbreden , Kleinenbreden , Papenhöfen , Löwendorf , Hohehaus , Langenkamp , Bönekenberg and Saumer . Entrup , Eversen and Kariensiek belonged to the parish of Sommersell . The church books of Marienmünster and Sommersell are now kept in the Archdiocese of Paderborn. Steinheim, although not in the Oldenburg office itself, was responsible for the village of Rolfzen in the west of the office, the parish registers are in the parish of St. Marien in Steinheim and Eilversen , in the southeastern tip of the office, was looked after by St. Kilian in Vörden, although Vörden also did not belong to the Oldenburg office.
Until 1874 there were no Protestant parishes in Löwendorf, and probably in the whole of Oldenburg. The only place in the area that had Protestant church records before 1680 was the St. Kiliani parish in Höxter (beginning in 1649).
