Lüneburg, Administrative district in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The Lüneburg district encompasses ten municipalities across 1,323 square kilometers, including the central city of Lüneburg and surrounding communities like Amelinghausen and Bardowick.
Established in 1885, the district evolved from medieval territories and underwent significant administrative restructuring following the formation of Lower Saxony in 1946.
The district maintains strong connections to North German traditions through local festivals, regional architecture, and community gatherings in each of its municipalities.
The district benefits from direct access to Hamburg via the A250 highway and includes multiple transportation options through the Elbe River and its canal system.
Located between the Elbe Valley and Lüneburg Heath, the district combines river landscapes with natural formations at an elevation of 8 meters above sea level.
