Heidekreis, Administrative district in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Heidekreis encompasses multiple municipalities across 1,873 square kilometers, featuring natural landscapes and rural settlements at 64 meters above sea level.
The district emerged in 1977 through the consolidation of Fallingbostel and Soltau districts, changing its name from Soltau-Fallingbostel to Heidekreis in 2011.
The German Tank Museum in Munster and Dat ole Hus open-air museum in Wilsede present regional military history and traditional rural life.
The district maintains 29 nature reserves, with the Lüneburg Heath Nature Reserve extending over 13,222 hectares of protected natural environment.
Four preserved Jewish cemeteries in Ahlden, Rethem, Soltau, and Walsrode document the historical presence of Jewish communities in the region.
