Posted on by

The AMT Bruchhausen was a historical administrative area of ​​the county of Hoya and the Principality of Lüneburg, later the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian province of Hanover. Altbruchhausen Castle was the seat of the district administration.

The Bruchhausen office goes back to the area of ​​power of the first -time count of the same name in the 12th century, the property of which was divided into the two lines of Altbruchhausen and Neubruchhausen around 1259. By buying, both parts came to the Counts of Hoya in 1326 and 1384, under which the offices of Alt- and Neubruchhausen were formed. With the extinction of the Hoya Grafenhaus in 1582, they fell to the Celler line of the Welfenhaus. The Neubruchhausen office was pledged to Eberhard von Bothmer in 1609. The office in Neubruchhausen was broken off in 1749 and the administration was probably moved to the existing buildings of the castle. [first] In 1758 the two offices were taken under joint administration (based in Altbruchhausen). The Amtshof and the associated lands in Neubruchhausen were leased. The old chimney was built on the site of the former vorwerk of the castle on the Wallgarten in Neubruchhausen. [2]

In 1813 the offices of Alt- and Neubruchhausen were AMT Bruchhausen finally united. The scope changed in 1852 through the assignment of the Neubruchhausen stain to the Freudenberg office and the part of the Staffhorst village to the Bruchhausen office to the Nienburg office. For this, the Wöpse farmers from the Hoya Office and the village of Retzen from the Syke office to Bruchhausen. In 1859, seven other municipalities of the lifted Office for Schwarme and the parish of Martfeld with five communities were incorporated. During another border cleaning, the municipalities, formerly belonging to the Office of Schwarme, were spun off again in 1864. From 1867 the offices Hoya, Syke and Bruchhausen formed the (tax) district of Hoya. In the course of the introduction of the district constitution, the Bruchhausen office mainly rose in the Hoya district. Five rural communities came to the Sulingen district, a municipality to the Syke district.
