Central Norway ( New Norwegian Midt-Noreg on German  Central Norway or central Norway ) is a central Norwegian region. The Norwegian term Midt-Norge is used in a variety of contexts, for example for catchment areas, areas of operation or areas of responsibility in government, corporate or private activities.

Midt-Norges limits can be varied on a pragmatic basis. It is not one of the five traditional parts of Norway.

Different definitions

Within Central Norway there are linguistic similarities ( Norwegian dialects ) and on a cultural-geographical basis. However, influences are always fluid and connect areas with the surrounding landscapes.

In terms of the provinces ( Fylke ) of the country, Trøndelag , Møre og Romsdal and the southern Nordland (south of Bodø ) are commonly counted as Midt-Norge. Seen in this way, Midt-Norge would have around 650,000 inhabitants. The center is the Trondheim metropolitan area .

Different Norwegian authorities, institutions and organizations as well as some companies use different definitions for the scope of the Midt-Norge region. Helse Midt-Norge (regional health care); Frostating lagdømme (court of appeal); Skattetaten or the Skatt Midt-Norge (Norwegian tax authority in Central Norway); Utlendingsdirektoratet (immigration authority), Integrerings- og mangfoldsdirektoratet (integration and equality authority); Arbeidstilsynet (trade inspection ); Kystverket (Coastal Administration ); Statens vegvesen (road construction authority) include Trøndelag and Møre og Romsdal in the Midt-Norge field of activity.

The Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat (NVE, Norwegian Water and Energy Authority) belongs to Midt-Norge: Helgeland , Trøndelag and Nordmøre .

In terms of natural geography, the Blåfjella-Skjækerfjella National Park lies in the east of Midt-Norge , while the Dovrefjell Plateau forms a natural border to the southwest. The coast in the north of Midt-Norge is characterized by numerous rugged rocky landscapes, fjords and islands. In the center is the Trondheimsfjorden with a length of 130 km from Ørland to Steinkjer .

Historical forerunners of the region were the judicial district of Frostatinget , the diocese of Nidaros and the fief of Trondheim hovedlen .
