history

Steyerberg 1654

Steyerberg Castle, first mentioned in a document in 1259, was built to protect the territory of the Hoya counts from the Minden bishops and as a counter-castle against the Novum Castrum fortress (New House). Possibly the castle stood on the land of the bishops , who saw it as a provocation . From 1265 on, Steyerberg was therefore an apple of contention between the Counts of Hoya and the Bishops of Minden , who both raised property claims. By building a castle on the Knappsberg, the Counts of Hoya were able to assert themselves as sovereigns. Since then, Steyerberg was the official seat. After the Hoya Counts died out, Steyerberg fell to the Dukes of Braunschweig Lüneburg in 1582 . During the Thirty Years' War , Steyerberg was looted and set on fire in 1625 and 1636. Around 1800 Steyerberg was occupied by Napoleon's troops. From 1829 Steyerberg belonged to the Stolzenau office . After the offices were suspended in 1867, Steyerberg belonged to the Stolzenau district , which was merged with the Nienburg / Weser district in 1932 . The Samtgemeinde Steyerberg, formed in 1968, was merged in 1974 to form a unified community of Flecken Steyerberg. The formerly independent eight municipalities thus became districts.

When the Counts of Hoya elevated the place to a patch cannot be determined exactly, but it will have been in the 14th century. From 1549 to 1766 a line of the aristocratic Münchhausen family had its seat in Steyerberg as Drosten . In 1573 the well-known Feldobrist Hilmar von Münchhausen died here . Later, his sons were enfeoffed with Steyerberg, including Statius von Münchhausen . There have been shooting festivals in Steyerberg since 1589 .

Between 1939 and 1945, the largest ammunition factory of the German chemical and armaments company EIBIA GmbH existed in the immediate vicinity of Steyerberg and Liebenau under the code name "Karl"

At the end of the Second World War , Steyerberg was taken by the British after a train carrying ammunition had been blown up in the Steyerberg train station.

In 2009 Steyerberg celebrated its 750th anniversary.
