Havelland District, Administrative district in Brandenburg, Germany
The Havelland district covers 1,717 square kilometers along the Havel River, forming a U-shaped region between Berlin and the Elbe River confluence.
The district emerged in 1993 through the administrative merger of Nauen and Rathenow districts, marking a significant reorganization of local governance structures.
The region features prominently in German literature through Theodor Fontane's works, including the ballad about Herr von Ribbeck and the novel Effi Briest.
The district capital Rathenow connects to multiple municipalities including Falkensee, Ketzin, Nauen, and Premnitz through an extensive transportation network.
The West Havelland Nature Park contains some of Western Europe's largest inland wetlands, shaped by Ice Age formations and extensive canal systems.
