Hermannsburg, Administrative district in Südheide, Germany

Hermannsburg extends across 119 square kilometers of Lower Saxony territory, incorporating five distinct communities including Baven, Beckedorf, and Weesen at 55 meters elevation.

The settlement traces its origins to 1059 when Emperor Henry IV first documented it as Heremannesburc, with archaeological findings suggesting earlier Saxon settlements from the 10th century.

The Hermannsburg Mission Seminary, established in 1849 by Pastor Louis Harms, developed strong connections with communities in southern Africa and Ethiopia through religious education.

The district maintains direct transportation links to Hannover, located 57 kilometers away, and connects to Berlin through regional infrastructure networks spanning 227 kilometers.

Three separate churches - St. Peter and Paul's, Great Cross, and Little Cross - stand within the district, forming a triangle of religious structures.
