Niebert (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈnibɛrt]; Gronings: Nijbert) is a village in the municipality of Westerkwartier in the province of Groningen in the Netherlands.

[1] Niebert is located in the bocage landscape of the southern Westerkwartier in the former Ommeland Vredewold [nl].

Characteristic are the opstrekkende heerden that extend far to the south of the village and are bordered in the north by the Oude Diep [nl].

The northern one (the Molenweg) is the primary extraction axis where most of the buildings and the old church are located today.

The southern one is the Malijksepad (locally called 't Pad), a footpath that runs over the old sand ridge between Marum and Tolbert.

[3] To the east of the village lies the hamlet of De Holm [nl] and to the southwest, around the Grouwweg, the neighborhood of Grouw.

The name Tolbert is a contraction of het (the definite article), ol(de) ('old'), and bert ('neighbourhood'), and, therefore, literally means "the old neighbourhood".

The village was probably founded as a marginal peat reclamation in the late Middle Ages.

In the 19th century, Niebert more or less had a central function for the surrounding area and was a prosperous village.

The house was renovated in 1847 by the local reverend Reinder Damsté, who wanted to use it as a presbytery, transformed into a head-rump farm, whereby the steenhuis was also lowered and the whole was plastered white.

Their descendants still live there, but in 1988 they sold the property to the Het Groninger Landschap foundation, so that they could restore it.

In 1992 it was given the name De Kring ('The Circle'), when the school officially switched to Jenaplan education.
