- Administrative/biographical history:
- The history of the administrative district of Nienburg is linked to that of the 1033 "nygen Borg”, which came into the possession of the counts of Hoya around 1215 and had been the focal point of the upper demesne of Hoya since 1345 (until 1503) as the residence of the younger line of the counts. After the end of the count's line (1582), the entire county of Hoya was divided in such a way that the western administrative districts as an upper county were separated from those whose economic centre was in the Weser lowlands. This subsequent lower county, to which Nienburg henceforth belonged, went to the Celle line. It remained connected to the principality of Lüneburg until its transition to the house of Hannover (1705) and formed (from 1712) a part of the three quarters of the reunited county of Hoya. The administrative district of Hoya then shared the fates and occupations of the principality of Hannover. After a brief affiliation with the kingdom of Westphalia (early 1810), it was a part of the empire of France from 10 December 1810 to spring 1813.
