Achim

Achim extends over 68 square kilometers of land, incorporating seven distinct localities including Bierden, Badenermoor, Borstel, Embsen, Uesen, Uphusen, and Bollen.

The settlement, first documented in 1091 as Arahem, served as a location for Saxon courts that convened three times per year to address regional matters.

The Saint Lawrence Church, constructed in 1257, stands as a central religious structure where the original baptismal church was established by missionaries in the 12th century.

The municipality maintains strong transportation connections through its railway station, operational since 1847, linking the towns of Bremen and Hannover with regular service.

The area houses international corporations including Vitakraft pet food production, Mercedes-Benz facilities, and an Amazon distribution center, creating a diverse economic landscape.
