Altmarkkreis Salzwedel, Administrative district in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
The Altmarkkreis Salzwedel spans 2,294 square kilometers across northern Saxony-Anhalt, incorporating forests, heaths, and the substantial Arendsee lake measuring 5.54 square kilometers.
Established in 1994, the district formed through the consolidation of former territories including Gardelegen, Klötze, Salzwedel, and sections of Osterburg into one administrative region.
The district maintains numerous megalithic tombs and archaeological sites, leading to its membership in the European Route of Megalithic Culture since 2020.
The district administration operates from Karl-Marx-Straße in Salzwedel, providing governmental services to approximately 82,457 residents across multiple municipalities and towns.
The region contains Drömling, an extensive wetland area that extends into the neighboring Börde district, preserving natural habitats within the administrative territory.
