Barnim District, Administrative district in Brandenburg, Germany

The Barnim district extends from the Oder River to Berlin's outskirts, encompassing the Schorfheide forest region and several large lakes including Werbellinsee and Grimnitzsee.

The district received its name in the 13th century, referring to a forest region east of the Havel River where nobles conducted hunting activities.

The district maintains multiple protected natural areas, including sections of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that supports diverse wildlife populations of eagles, storks, and otters.

The district capital Eberswalde connects to other regions through the Oder-Havel Canal and the historical Finow Canal, facilitating transportation and commerce.

Vehicle registration plates in the district display three different prefixes - BAR, BER, or EW - representing various municipalities within the administrative region.
