Editing Osnabrück (district) (section)

== Geography ==
The northern two thirds of the district belong to the [[North German plain]]; the mountain ranges [[Teutoburg Forest]] and [[Wiehen Hills]] run east-west in the southern third of the district. The river [[Hase]] flows through the district from south to north. In the eastern part flows the [[Hunte]].

The district encloses the [[Urban districts of Germany|district-free city]] of [[Osnabrück]]. Together, they form the [[Osnabrück Land]] (''Osnabrücker Land''), which can be divided ''inter alia'' into the smaller regions of Artland, [[Grönegau]] and Wittlage Land.

The ''Tecklenburger Land'' in the west is the geographical continuation of the Osnabrücker land in the neighbouring federal state [[North Rhine-Westphalia]]. Often it is ascribed to be [[Münsterland]], although it belongs to the Osnabrücker land historically.

The district is bounded by (from the west and clockwise) the districts of [[Emsland]], [[Cloppenburg (district)|Cloppenburg]], [[Vechta (district)|Vechta]] and [[Diepholz (district)|Diepholz]], the state of [[North Rhine-Westphalia]] (districts of [[Minden-Lübbecke]], [[Herford (district)|Herford]], [[Gütersloh (district)|Gütersloh]], [[Warendorf (district)|Warendorf]] and [[Steinfurt (district)|Steinfurt]]) and the City of [[Osnabrück]].
