Oberhavel District, Rural district in Brandenburg, Germany
The Oberhavel district spans 1,795 square kilometers across northeastern Brandenburg, containing numerous lakes, forests, and agricultural lands between Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The district emerged in 1993 through the administrative consolidation of the previous Gransee and Oranienburg territories, marking a significant reorganization in Brandenburg's governance structure.
The district's coat of arms features an eagle representing Brandenburg and two swans against green, reflecting the natural elements of the numerous lakes in this region.
Oranienburg functions as the administrative center of Oberhavel, providing governmental services and connecting the district's 167,000 residents through regional transportation networks.
The Großer Stechlinsee lake, featured in Theodor Fontane's literature, stands as a central natural landmark within the district's northern territory.
