Cloppenburg, Administrative district in Lower Saxony, Germany
Located between Bremen and the Dutch border, Cloppenburg district covers 1,418 square kilometers of land with 177,701 residents in twelve municipalities.
The territory belonged to the County of Tecklenburg in medieval times before becoming part of the Prince-Bishopric of Münster from 1400 until 1803.
The district maintains strong Catholic traditions within predominantly Protestant Lower Saxony, influencing local demographics with higher birth rates than surrounding regions.
The district connects to major transportation routes including the A1 motorway linking the Ruhr area to Bremen and Hamburg through federal highway B213.
The region forms part of Germany's intensive farming zone, with numerous turkey and pig farms earning it the designation 'Schweinegürtel' or pig belt.
