- Administrative/biographical history:
- The foundation of the town of Oldendorf can probably be dated to the second quarter of the thirteenth century. Like the other planned Schaumburg cities of Stadthagen and Rinteln, the establishment of the city on the Weser and on the road from Minden to Hildesheim served the military and economic expansion of the state. Large parts of the urban area were occupied by the twelve Burgmann's seats (Burgmannshöfe), of which the Münchhausenhof was the largest. With the division of the old County of Schaumburg in 1640-7, "Oldendorf under the Schaumburg", as the city is regularly referred to in the documents, fell to the Hessian part of the county, in 1866 along with the Electorate of Hesse to Prussia. To distinguish it from Preußisch Oldendorf in Oldendorf on the Weser, the official name changed to "Hessisch Oldendorf" in 1905. In 1932, Hessisch Oldendorf with the entire County of Schaumburg district was ceded from the administrative district of Kassel to the administrative district of Hannover. As part of the municipal reform on 1 January 1973, the municipalities of Barksen, Grossenwieden, Kleinenwieden, Krückeberg, Langenfeld, Rohden, Segelhorst, Welsede, Wickbolsen and Zersen were incorporated into the existing city of Hessisch Oldendorf (area in 2001: 120.35 sq km, population in 1970: 17,829 residents, 2001: 19,969 residents). The municipalities of Bensen, Haddessen, Höfingen, Pötzen and Weibeck were incorporated into the municipality of Fischbeck, and from the municipalities of Friedrichsburg, Friedrichshagen, Fuhlen, Hesslingen, Rumbeck, Hemeringen and Lachem, the municipality of Hemeringen was formed. On 29 January 1973 these three municipalities were united by ordinance into the unified municipality of Oldendorf, after the attempts to form a joint municipality on a voluntary basis had failed. Since the district reform of 1 August 1977 Hessisch Oldendorf belongs to the administrative district of Hameln-Pyrmont.
