Amidst the Zeven geest, in the heart of the rural district Rotenburg Wümme is joined community Zeven situated. With 22.604 citizens it is by far the most populated of all 8 joined communities.
The community is an interesting commerical location with inexpensive industrial areas and extensive surface areas reserves. Through its central location between Hamburg and Bremen and the well developed transport connetions directly at the Hansalinie many cities can be reached quickly.

But tourists can also enjoy the community. Not only the city of Zeven offers with the multi-generation house, the monastery Zeven, the fire brigade museum or the Vitus-fountain a lot of landmarks but also the other communities have a lot to offer. In Gyhum for example one can view the 1000 year old St. Margarethen church. In addition the three-day Gyhum shooting festival takes place annually on the first weekend in July.

For cyclist enthusiasts the community is interesting as the long-distance cycle trail Hamburg-Bremen runs through the community. On this trail as well as on the Zeven mill-route its well worth stopping at one of the popular Melkhüs (milk bistros).
In addition the joined community offers several different interesting destinations as for example the familiy public swimming pool AQUAFIT, the natural pool Zeven, the cinema Central-Theater in Zeven or the discotheque Meyer's Tanzpalast in Wehldorf.

The joined community Zeven consists of 4 member communities:

  • Elsdorf
  • Gyhum
  • Heeslingen
  • Stadt Zeven
