List of municipalities in the district of Osterholz

The list of municipalities in the district of Osterholz gives an overview of the eleven smallest administrative units in the district . The district seat Osterholz-Scharmbeck is the only town in the district.

During the Prussian district reform of 1932, the Blumenthal and Osterholz districts were combined into a new and larger district of Osterholz . The number of parishes in the district was reduced in 1936 and 1937 through a series of mergers. With the communities of Aumund , Blumenthal , Farge , Grohn , Lesum and Schönebeck , the district of Osterholz had to surrender part of the old district of Blumenthal to the city of Bremen on November 1, 1939 , thereby losing a large part of the inhabitants that had been gained in 1932.

The regional reform in Lower Saxony began for the district of Osterholz in 1968, when Eickedorf , Grasberg and Wörpedorf were merged to form a new municipality of Grasberg. A comprehensive regional reform was carried out by the law on the reorganization of the communities in the Osterholz / Wesermünde area on March 1, 1974. The district area was enlarged by the fact that the Weser island Harriersand and the Hammelwarder Sand area from the Wesermarsch district and the communities Axstedt and Lübberstedt from the Wesermünde district came to the district of Osterholz. At the same time, numerous community mergers created the division of the district into the city of Osterholz-Scharmbeck and ten other communities.

In the 1970s and 1980s, the villages of Wilstedter Moor and Tarmstedter Moor from the Rotenburg (Wümme) district were incorporated into Grasberg.
