Osterholz, Administrative district in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The district of Osterholz extends over 650 square kilometers of land between the rivers Hamme and Wümme in northern Germany.
The district underwent administrative transformations from 1932, transitioning through the Stade Government Region until 1978 and later the Lüneburg Government Region until 2004.
The capital city, Osterholz-Scharmbeck, functions as the central point for regional administration and community gatherings within the district.
The district maintains connections with neighboring regions including Cuxhaven, Wesermarsch, Verden, Bremen, and Rotenburg, facilitating regional cooperation and transport networks.
The northern section of Osterholz contains the Teufelsmoor, a substantial fen system that represents one of Germany's largest remaining natural marshlands.
