Harburg, Administrative division in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Harburg is a district in northern Lower Saxony that covers a wide area south of Hamburg. Administrative offices are distributed across several towns, with Winsen an der Luhe serving as the main center.
This district was created on August 1, 1932, through the merger of several smaller administrative units. Five years later, it ceded large territories to Hamburg, establishing the current boundary between the two federal states.
This administrative territory takes its name from the former Hanseatic town now part of Hamburg. Residents along the Elbe and its tributaries maintain local traditions through shooting clubs and village associations that gather regularly throughout the year.
This territory works well as a transit zone when traveling to Hamburg or the Lüneburg Heath landscapes. Many towns offer shops and dining options for travelers who prefer regional stopovers.
The northern boundary runs where Prussia and the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg once met. Today this historical line separates the two federal states of Lower Saxony and Hamburg.
