Wolfenbüttel district

Wolfenbüttel district spans 722 square kilometers across southeastern Lower Saxony, divided into two sections by the independent city of Salzgitter.

The district emerged in 1832 following the administrative reorganization of the Duchy of Brunswick into six distinct regional territories.

The district's coat of arms features a proud lion representing the House of Welf alongside wheat ears symbolizing the agricultural traditions.

The district contains 37 municipalities and several unincorporated territories, with the city of Wolfenbüttel functioning as its administrative center.

The district participates in international partnerships with Cachan in France, Rhondda Cynon Taff in Wales, and Września in Poland.
