Location and natural spaces
The district of Hildesheim is characterized by a large number of scenic forms, mainly due to the transition from the low mountain range to the North German lowlands . Therefore, the district can be roughly divided into four natural areas: the western, densely populated Hildesheimer Börde and Calenberger Lößbörde , and the eastern, wooded lower Innerstebergland and Leinebergland .

In the western district, the Leine flows through the cities of Alfeld and Gronau . Other rivers of importance are the Lamme, which flows from Lamspringe through Bad Salzdetfurth and flows into the innermost part of Klein Düngen. The Nette flows through the Ambergau near Bockenem and flows into the Innerste at Derneburg. In the north of the district, the Hildesheim branch canal flows north from the Hildesheim harbor to the Mittelland Canal.
The district of Hildesheim has a north-south extension of 45 km ( Ummeln to Wetteborn ), and one from west to east of 49 km ( Capellenhagen to Söhlde ).

history
Altkreis Hildesheim (1885–1946)
The earlier history of the Hildesheim district goes back to the Landdrostei Hildesheim , the Principality of Hildesheim (independent until 1802), the Diocese of Hildesheim and the Saxon district of Astfala . After the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover in 1867 by Prussia , the first district of Hildesheim was formed on April 1, 1885 from the Hildesheim office . The administrative seat was the city of Hildesheim, which remained independent and did not belong to the district. The district of Hildesheim had an area of 234 km². Between 1885 and 1946 the following parishes belonged to it:

Hildesheim district (from 1946)
On June 1, 1946, the first district of Hildesheim was merged with the district of Marienburg in Hanover , whose area was in the eastern part of today's district and which also had its administrative seat in Hildesheim, to form the district of Hildesheim-Marienburg .
The former district of Hildesheim was formed on March 1, 1974 as part of the then district reform by amalgamating the previously independent city of Hildesheim with most of the district of Hildesheim-Marienburg. In addition, the Hildesheim district accepted six communities from the Gandersheim district and the Breinum community from the Alfeld (Leine) district .
Under Section 14 of the Eighth Law on Administrative and Territorial Reform in Lower Saxony, the old districts of Hildesheim and Alfeld were dissolved with effect from August 1, 1977 and a new district of Hildesheim was formed. This has increased this considerably. In 1981 it was enlarged to include the communities of Coppengrave , Duingen , Hoyershausen , Marienhagen and Weenzen (all of which are now Leinebergland ) in the Holzminden district.
In the city of Alfeld (Leine) an external seat of the district administration is still preserved today.
A merger of the districts of Hildesheim and Peine, planned for November 1, 2016, failed in a vote in the Hildesheim district council in July 2015.
The following area changes were implemented on November 1, 2016:
- Merger of the member communities of the integrated community of Gronau (Leine) , with the exception of Eime , to form the new city of Gronau (Leine)
- Merger of the member communities of the Duingen joint community to form the new Duingen community
- Merger of the newly formed town of Gronau (Leine) and the newly formed municipality of Duingen as well as the patch of Eime to form the new integrated municipality of Leinebergland
- Conversion of the integrated municipality Freden (Leine) into the unified municipality Freden (Leine)
- Conversion of the entire municipality of Lamspringe into the single municipality of Lamspringe
- Conversion of the Sibbesse community into the Sibbesse unitary community
