gttingen (district)

Gttingen is a district in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Northeim and Osterode, and by the states of Thuringia (district Eichsfeld) and Hesse (districts Werra-Meiner and Kassel).

History

In 1885 the Prussian government established the districts of Gttingen, Mnden and Duderstadt. These districts existed for 88 years, before they were merged in 1973 to form the present district of Gttingen.

Geography

The western half of the district is occupied by the Weserbergland mountains. The Weser river origins near the town of Hannoversch Mnden at the confluence of the Fulda and the Werra. Further east the Leine river runs through the district from south to north.

Coat of arms

|In the upper part there is the heraldic lion of the medieval duchy of Brunswick-Lneburg. Below there is a combination of the arms of the former districts, which were merged in 1973 to form the present district: the shield of Mnden, the anchor of Gttingen, and the whell of Duderstadt.
