In the "Bohmter Lesebücher Band XI - Kirchen und Adelshäuser" (Kulturring Bohmte, 1996) I found the following informations:
- The "Tappenburg" was a former estate close to the river Hunte and the railway station Bohmte. It´s not situated in Hunteburg.
- The (old) "Tappenburg" was established at the beginning of the 16th century. Since 1703 it belonged to the house of "Arenshorst" (near Bohmte), since 1752 to the house of "von dem Bussche Hünnefeld" (near Bad Essen).
- 1826 the main building of the "Tappenburg" burned down. It was never build up on that place again. But in the forest of the "Tappenburg" the family "von dem Bussche Hünnefeld" built up the "New Tappenburg" (in the north of the village Bohmte close to the border to Northrhine-Westphalia).
