The Middle Weser Region includes, in its fullest sense, the land along the Middle Weser between Minden and Bremen.

The Lower Saxon part of the Middle Weser Region forms the geographical heart of this state. In the centre of the Middle Weser Region are the towns of Minden, Nienburg/Weser and Verden (Aller).
