History

Blumenthal was a district in the Prussian province of Hanover. The county seat was located in the town of Blumenthal. Today the former county area essentially forms a large part of the Bremen Town district and the northern Lower Saxony municipality of Schwanewede.

Blumenthal was formed on 1 April 1885 as a district in the province of Hanover from the old Office Blumenthal and the communities Aschwarden-Bruch and Hinnebeck. The original number of 39 municipalities was reduced by incorporations until 1932 to from 39 to 22. The district of Blumenthal in 1932 dissolved and merged with the district Osterholz by a regulation of the Prussian Ministry of State.

Of the communities formerly within the circle of Blumenthal were  Aumund, Farge, Grohn, Lesum (with Burgdamm and St. Magnus) and Schönebeck and all of these were incorporated eventually into the city of Bremen. Most of the remaining municipalities of the former district of Blumenthal were in 1974 under municipal reform amalgamated into the district Osterholz after Schwanewede.

Blumenthal, Farge and Rekum became part of the city of Bremen in 1939.
