Nienburg/Weser, District capital on the Weser River in Lower Saxony, Germany.

Located between Bremen and Hanover, Nienburg extends along both banks of the Weser River with numerous timber-framed buildings throughout its center.

The settlement received its first mention in 1025 as Negenborg, gaining official town rights in 1215 under Count Henry I of Hoya's administration.

The Martinskirche church contains the burial sites of the Counts of Hoya, including Otto VII and his family members from the 16th century.

The town functions as a regional transportation hub with rail connections to Bremen and Hanover, featuring direct access to federal highways B6 and B214.

During the Thirty Years War, residents stole a tent and flag from General Tilly's camp, an event now commemorated in local traditional celebrations.
