Historically, the border with Eversburg is the Eversburger Landwehrgraben , while the border with Westerberg runs through the Rubbenbruchsee in a recreational area . In the north-west of Atter, on the border with Lotte, lies the Attersee . The most important flowing water in Atter is the Düte , which is bordered by natural floodplains.

The residential development of the district is divided into three main settlements : the Atteraner town center, the Atterfeld settlement in the south and the Strothesiedlung and the future Landwehr district in the northeast.

It is located in Leyer Holz north of the district center and was laid out in 1913.

conversion

The former barracks area of ​​the Quebec Barracks in the northeast of Atter is 370,410 m². The headquarters of the British Armed Forces in Germany (formerly the British Army of the Rhine ) was located in the barracks on Landwehrstrasse, which was abandoned in 2008 . Also 107 residential units outside the barracks, mostly from the 1950s and 1960s, were used by members of the British armed forces.

As part of conversion measures , a new residential area is to be built on the former barracks site under the project title Landwehrviertel . Between 2017 and 2022, up to 800 residential units for up to 2500 people are to be built, making the Landwehrviertel the largest development area in Osnabrück since the Second World War. Some buildings from the period of use by the military (e.g. a sports hall complex) and a grassland biotope in the west of the site are to be retained. In addition to the residential development, the Landwehrviertel will also include a supermarket, a daycare center, a central park and a public transport link.

Transport links

Atter is on the federal motorway 1 and can be reached via the Osnabrück-Hafen junction. Atter is the only airfield in Osnabrück with the Osnabrück-Atterheide airfield.

On the outskirts of Atter, but already in North Rhine-Westphalian territory, there was formerly Lotte station on the Löhne – Rheine railway line , to which Atter Bahnhofstrasse still refers to today. In 1949 Atter was also connected to Osnabrück's first trolleybus line , which ran with a tram connection from Rißmüllerplatz via Natruper Straße to Eversburg-Atter and another sub-line to Eversburg-Büren (→ local transport in Osnabrück ). Today Atter is served by city buses on lines M2 and 17.
