- Administrative/biographical history:
- After the division of the County of Schaumburg in 1640/7, the cities of Rinteln, Obernkirchen (with bailiwick Hattendorf) and Oldendorf (with bailiwick Fischbeck) and the administrative district of Schaumburg (with Weser, Rumbecker and Exter bailiwick and the Möllenbeck Monastery), Rodenberg and half of the Sachsenhagen administrative district belonged to Hessen. The University of Rinteln (until 1665), the Weser customs duties, and the coal mines remained in common administration with Schaumburg-Lippe. Also common was the Fräuleinsteuer ("ladies' tax"), the proceeds of which financed the dowries of the Hessian and Schaumburg-Lippe princesses. The government of the Hessian part resided in Rodenberg, after 1651 in Rinteln. In Rinteln, the government was accommodated in the “Eulenburg", an old Burgmann's seat, later the Stadthof of the monastery of Möllenbeck. The County of Schaumburg (Hessian part) retained the name until the 19th century. It was not merged with the Hessian heartlands, but remained independent and connected with Hesse only in personal union. Thus the county retained its own government, its own consistory and even its own estates. The files of the government of this period form collection H 1. The government of Rinteln carried out judicial tasks and the internal administration in the County of Schaumburg (later separated). In particular, it was responsible for the preservation of sovereign rights, state borders and regalia, administration of regulations, general state police, supervision of the administration of the municipal and city budgets, and billeting and boarding of marching troops. With the transformation of the previous state administration by the decree of 29 June 1821 (collection of laws for Electoral Hesse in 1821, p. 29), the county was “mediatised": it lost its independence and received a government deputation (paragraph 58), which was assigned to the Province of Lower Hesse (based in Kassel) (paragraph 1). The files of the government deputation are summarised in the collection H 2.
