Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox District DE Göttingen (Шаблон:IPA-de) is a district (Шаблон:Lang-de) in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is bounded by (from the northwest and clockwise) the districts of Northeim and Goslar, and by the states of Thuringia (district of Eichsfeld) and Hesse (districts of Werra-Meißner and Kassel, and the district-free city of Kassel). The capital is the university city of Göttingen.

History

In 1885 the Prussian government established the districts of Göttingen, Münden and Duderstadt within the Province of Hanover. These districts existed for 88 years, before they were merged in 1973 to form the present district of Göttingen.

In 1964, the formerly district-free Göttingen city was incorporated into the district.

On 1 November 2016, it was reformed by the addition of the former district of Osterode.[1]

Geography

The western half of the district is occupied by the Weserbergland mountains. The Weser River receives its name near the town of Hannoversch Münden, where the Fulda joins the Werra. Further east the Leine river runs through the district from south to north.
