Großheide

Großheide is a municipality in Lower Saxony that spans rural landscapes with fields, paths, and scattered residential areas. Local roads connect the various districts and open up the surrounding countryside.

The municipality formed through the merger of several smaller villages during the 20th century. This connection shapes the decentralized settlement pattern visible today.

The district council of Großheide maintains local traditions through public services, education programs, and community resource management for its 8,712 residents.

The municipality is accessible via Westerende railway station, which connects it to regional transport networks. Visitors find local services and facilities distributed across the village centers.

The Berumerfehnkanal waterway flows through the municipal area and shapes the characteristic water landscape of the region. Such canals reveal the history of moorland drainage that once transformed this area.
