Cuxhaven district, Administrative district in Lower Saxony, Germany

The district of Cuxhaven extends over 2,057 square kilometers along the North Sea coast between the Elbe and Weser river mouths in northern Germany.

The district formation occurred in 1977 through the merger of Land Hadeln and Wesermünde districts, with the town of Cuxhaven becoming its administrative center.

The district coat of arms displays Saint Nicholas, representing the maritime traditions and fishing heritage that characterize the local communities.

The region contains eleven municipalities including Beverstedt, Geestland, and Wurster Nordseeküste, connected through a network of regional transportation services.

Parts of the district belong to the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park, where visitors can walk across the seabed during low tide.
