history
Siedenburg Castle was first mentioned in 1294 in the chronicle of Landdrosten Marquard von Hodenburg, who used the lost Bücken annals . At that time the fortress was conquered and also regained. At the same time, the Flecken Siedenburg may have developed in front of the moated castle, but it still belonged to the Mellinghausen parish. From 1372 the Counts of Hoya appear as rulers, who often pledged the Siedenburg Palace and Bailiwick. In 1582 the castle, office and spots of Siedenburg, together with the County of Hoya, changed to the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg .
Until 1932, the Siedenburg area belonged to the Sulingen district , then to the Grafschaft Diepholz district . Since August 1st, 1977 the place belongs to the district of Diepholz .
On March 1, 1974, the neighboring community of Päpsen was incorporated.

coat of arms
Blazon : "In a golden shield a long-stalked three-leaf clover, resting between two upright, averted, red-armored black bear paws connected by breast fur."
The coat of arms of the patch goes back to the neighboring lords of Staffhorst. In the 15th century, representatives of this noble family from Hoya sat as pawns and drosten at Siedenburg Castle. Possibly the stain owes a (not preserved) privilege to a Drosten von Staffhorst, as the heraldry of all other Hoyas cities and stains is characterized by the fact that they have the bear paw (single or double) - the coat of arms of the Counts of Hoya - in the coat of arms.
