Schaumburg

Schaumburg encompasses northern flatlands of the North German Plain and southern hills of the Weser Uplands across 84 meters above sea level.

The district emerged from a medieval county founded in the 12th century, later divided into Schaumburg and Schaumburg-Lippe following the Thirty Years' War in 1640.

Northern Low Saxon language remains present in local communities, reflecting the linguistic heritage preserved through generations in this Lower Saxon territory.

The district maintains strong connections with neighboring regions through an extensive network of transport routes linking Nienburg, Hanover, and Hameln-Pyrmont districts.

The region's coat of arms features a nettle leaf design that dates back to the 12th century, symbolizing historical connections between Holstein and Schaumburg territories.
