history
The Müsleringen earthwork discovered in 2008 between Stolzenau and Müsleringen indicates that the area was already settled in the Stone Age .
In 1346 the Counts of Hoya built Stolzenau Castle near a settlement from which Stolzenau developed.
Stolzenau was first mentioned in a document on February 23, 1370. The name means Stolze Aue and is derived from the spellings Stoltenouwe, Stoltenow, Stotzenow, Stoltzenaw and Stoltzenawe .
The place was temporarily the residence of the Counts of Hoya. With the death of Count Friedrich in 1503, the County of Hoya was taken over as a fiefdom by the Dukes of Braunschweig and Lüneburg . It served until the death of the last Count of Hoya, Otto VIII. In 1582 as a sub-county for non-ruling counts. When the counts died out, Stolzenau fell to the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg.
In 1594, the spot was ravaged by a great fire in which 85 town houses burned down.
During the Thirty Years' War , the mercenary leader Tilly captured Stolzenau on August 15, 1625. On October 26, 1625, the place was returned to the Danes . The spot suffered from multiple changes of rule and recurring sieges. Epidemics such as the blood plague (1624) and a heated skin disease claimed many victims among the population.
In 1647 a stone meteorite is said to have fallen near Stolzenau . The size and classification are unknown as the meteorite has been lost and has not been scientifically investigated.
After the Peace of Westphalia , the office and the village fell into such disrepair that they could not recover in many years. Stolzenau was less affected by acts of war during the Seven Years' War ; but the stain suffered during the French occupation.
Only after 1815 did the economic boom in the area begin. The present church was built in 1828. In 1884 the area became the seat of the newly formed Stolzenau district . The district administration was housed in the old castle until 1932. The castle was later used as a labor camp. After 1945 it was used for residential purposes. In 1885 the foundation stone for today's town hall was laid. The castle was demolished in 1965 and the new secondary school (castle school) was built at this point.
In 1907, at the instigation of District Administrator Hugh Wilhelm Bergmann (1902–1917 in office) and Mayor W. Schröder, the Stolzenau volunteer fire brigade was launched, to which 80 citizens joined. Since then she has been providing fire protection and general help in her community.
Despite the brisk construction activity after 1950, the main features of the medieval character of the old town center were retained.
During the economic boom , the elementary school at that time was built from 1956 to 1957 according to plans by the architect Karl-Heinz Lorey .
The importance that Stolzenau has today for the southern part of the district is particularly expressed by the designation as a basic center made in the regional planning program for the Hanover administrative region .
On November 1, 2011, Stolzenau merged with the member communities of the Landesbergen joint municipality to form the Mittelweser joint municipality.

coat of arms
Blazon : “Split by a lowered anchor of red and gold split by silver and blue; in front a silver round tower with a pointed roof and bay window and a silver battlement wall extending to the edge of the shield; behind an upright, red armored black bear paw ”. Already in the 15th century there was a seal in the soft picture of Stolzenau, which shows a two-tower castle and a bear's paw next to each other. Since the Counts of Hoya had owned Stolzenau since the 14th century and expanded their residence there in 1525, the early seal is based on the Count's coat of arms. In the castle, the Stolzenau frontier fortress is symbolized by the two lines of the count family, which have been separate since 1345. The local coat of arms was awarded in 1930 by the Prussian State Ministry, the anchor is more recent and underlines the importance of shipping on the Weser.
