Rotenburg district, Administrative district in Lower Saxony, Germany
The Rotenburg district spans 2,070 square kilometers with 57 municipalities, including major towns like Bremervörde, Gnarrenburg, Scheeßel, and Visselhövede.
The district emerged through the 1977 consolidation of former Bremen-Verden territories, which were previously ecclesiastical principalities under medieval German administration.
Each municipality within the district maintains distinct local traditions, seasonal markets, and community festivals that represent Northern German regional heritage.
The district capital, Rotenburg an der Wümme, functions as the central administrative hub, providing government services to 167,604 residents across the region.
The district's coat of arms combines the Hanover lion holding a cross with two intersecting keys, representing historical connections to the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen.
