Ostholstein, Administrative district in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

The district covers the Wagria peninsula between the Bay of Lübeck and Bay of Kiel, including coastal areas and the island of Fehmarn.

The district formed in 1970 through the merger of former districts Eutin and Oldenburg in Holstein, reflecting different administrative traditions from prior centuries.

The Eutin amphitheater presents opera performances and orchestral concerts, featuring works by German composers in an open-air setting near the Baltic Sea.

The Fehmarn Bridge connects the district mainland to Fehmarn Island, while ferries and regional trains provide transportation throughout the entire region.

The Bungsberg, located within district boundaries, stands at 168 meters as the highest elevation point in the entire state of Schleswig-Holstein.
