List of natural regions in Schleswig-Holstein

List of natural regions in Schleswig-Holstein

This List of natural regions in Schleswig-Holstein covers the higher level natural regions that lie wholly or partially on the territory of the North German state of Schleswig-Holstein. They are based on the official list of natural regions in Germany that was adopted in the 1950s and set out in the Handbook of Natural Regional Divisions in Germany (Handbuch der Naturräumlichen Gliederung Deutschlands), by the Ministry for Agriculture and the Environment in Schleswig-Holstein.

The system shown is that published by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (Bundesamt für Naturschutz or BfN) in 1994. It differs slightly from the earlier system whose numbering is given in brackets for the major regions only.

The major natural regions in this system are divided into sub-regions (Untereinheiten), landscape units (Teileinheiten) and topographical units (Grundeinheiten). They are only listed here, further information about them being found in the relevant articles.

These units tend to cross the state borders and are not related to the political division of states into provinces or districts. As a result they may also be mentioned in articles on neighbouring states such as, in this case, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
