Osnabrück Land

Osnabrück Land (German: Osnabrücker Land) is a region in southwest Lower Saxony in Germany, which extends into the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The region is dominated by the Teutoburg Forest and the River Hase.

Originally a variant of Low German was spoken here which belonged to the East-Westphalian dialect.

The southern part of Osnabrück Land borders on Münsterland in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Most of Osnabrück Land borders on other Lower Saxon regions: to the west on the Emsland, to the north on the Oldenburg Land and in the east on the Dümmer region.
