The administrative headquarters are in the district of Hasselhorst , in the east directly on the border with the city of Bergen. Hartmannshausen is located in the extreme south on the border with the municipality of Winsen (Aller) .

history
1935 by the German Wehrmacht between Bergen and Fallingbostel the Bergen military training area created. To this end, a total of 25 communities were dissolved and their residents relocated. In 1938 the "Gutsgebiet Platz Bergen" area, which encompasses the military training area, was formed and assigned to the Fallingbostel district . In 1945 the manor district was divided into two independent areas, namely the manor districts Osterheide and Lohheide. Osterheide remained with the Fallingbostel district, while Lohheide was reintegrated into the Celle district. The Lohheide today includes the part of the 1958 "NATO shooting range Bergen-Hohne" located in the district of Celle.
Legal situation
According to Section 23, Paragraph 4, Clause 3 of the Lower Saxony Municipal Constitutional Act (NKomVG), the administration of unincorporated areas is regulated by an ordinance. According to this, the "execution of the public tasks of the own and the assigned sphere of activity is entrusted to the landowner", in the case of Lohheide and Osterheide, that is, to the federal government. The constitution of a parish-free district is different from that of a parish. Its organs are the district head and the residents' council elected by the residents . The district head is proposed by the landowner and then elected by the residents' council. The residents' rights of participation are limited to the choice of representation as well as the possibility of residents' question- and-answer time and residents' hearing during public meetings of the representation.
