County of Schaumburg

I recognize Schaumburgian Germany to consist of three distinct countries—the County of Schaumburg, the County of Holstein-Pinneberg, and the Lordship of Gemen. This page concerns itself only with the first of those, which emerged on the Weser River early in the 12th century. After it adopted the “Schaumburg” spelling in 1485, its boundaries were stable. The line died out in 1640 and the territory of the County of Schaumburg was divided among Hessian, Lippian, and Guelphic claimants in 1647.
