Pinneberg, Rural district in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

The Pinneberg district spans 664 square kilometers along the Elbe River, incorporating both mainland territories and the North Sea island of Heligoland.

The district gained its current administrative structure in 1867 when Schleswig-Holstein integrated into the Kingdom of Prussia following the Austro-Prussian War.

The district maintains several museums documenting regional traditions, including the City Museum of Pinneberg, which presents artifacts from local maritime communities.

The district connects to Hamburg through the S3 line of the S-Bahn network, providing regular transportation services between multiple municipalities.

The Liether Kalkgrube in Klein Nordende contains Permian period fossil deposits and salt formations, representing geological formations from 250 million years ago.
