Nienburg an der Weser, Administrative district in Lower Saxony, Germany.

Located between Bremen and Hanover, the district of Nienburg encompasses an area of 1,399 square kilometers along the Weser River.

The region formed the heart of the County of Hoya from medieval times until 1582, when the ruling family became extinct and Brunswick-Lüneburg annexed the territory.

The district maintains international connections through partnerships with cities in Poland, Belarus, New Mexico, and includes traditions such as the Scheibenschießen tournament.

The district administration operates from Nienburg town, which serves as the economic center for neighboring areas with a population density of 88 people per square kilometer.

The district coat of arms combines two horses with a bear paw representing the County of Hoya and a horn symbolizing the County of Wölpe.
