From Wikipedia: Heidekreis ("Heath district") is a district (Landkreis) in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Harburg, Lüneburg, Uelzen, Celle, Hanover, Nienburg, Verden and Rotenburg.
History
Historically the region belonged to the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg and its successor states. The district was established in 1977 by merging the former districts of Soltau and Fallingbostel as Soltau-Fallingbostel (German pronunciation: [ˈzɔltaʊ falɪŋˈbɔstəl]). On 1 August 2011 it was renamed to Heidekreis.
Geography
The district includes the western half of the Lüneburg Heath (Lüneburger Heide). Since this landscape is so characteristic for the district, it calls itself „the Heath District“. The capital is Bad Fallingbostel, although it has only 11,800 inhabitants and is only the fifth largest town in the district.
Coat of arms
The coat of arms displays:
- in the upper half the heraldic lion of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg
- in the lower half a megalithic grave
