Verden district

Verden district is an administrative area in Lower Saxony located between Bremen and Hannover, containing eight municipalities including the towns of Verden and Achim. The territory is shaped by river landscapes and features several railway stations connecting different communities within the region.

The area was formed in 1932 following a Prussian administrative reform that reorganized regions from the former Kingdom of Hannover and merged the administrative units of Verden and Achim. This consolidation established the structure still in place today.

The coat of arms displays a horse representing Lower Saxony and a wavy line for the river landscape, with grain ears showing the agricultural roots of the area. These symbols reflect what continues to shape daily life here.

The district is well connected by rail, with direct trains to Bremen and Hamburg through multiple stations across the municipalities. Spring and autumn are ideal times to visit when the weather is pleasant and the countryside is appealing.

The district contains the confluence of two major rivers where the Aller flows into the Weser, located near the center of the territory. This meeting point has shaped the region's development for centuries.
