Achmer is the geographically largest district of Bramsche . It is characterized by the Hase , the Mittelland Canal and the Achmer airfield .

Achmer borders in the north on Bramsche-Mitte, in the west on Ueffeln and in the south on Pente and extends from the Haseniederung up to the southern part of the Gehns. The old town center is still a clearly visible farming settlement. The centuries-old rural structure of Achmer began to change when the railway ran through the town in 1876 and a train station was built on the Oldenburg – Osnabrück railway line . In 1935 the construction of the Achmer airfield began, which from 1940 served as a field airfield for fighter pilots and today mainly serves glider pilots.

The municipality of Achmer consisted of the districts Larberge, Wackum, Tömmern, Hemke, Grünegras and Westerhausen. On January 1, 1971, it was incorporated into the city of Bramsche.

The former municipality had an area of ​​28.29 km².

Achmer station is on the Oldenburg – Osnabrück railway line . The RB 58 (Osnabrück - Bremen) as well as irregular individual trains of the RE 18 (Osnabrück - Wilhelmshaven) stop every hour .

Today Achmer is a priority area of ​​Bramsche for industry and commerce. Achmer's local mayor is Anke Hennig (SPD).
