City Profile

Before the 1974 reform, a large part of what is now Garbsen was shaped by agriculture, while the villages and settlements developed in different ways.

Garbsen's present-day urban structure dates back to the regional reform of 1974: it brought together 13 districts and settlements with different development histories.

The name Garbsen can be traced back to 1223. The present-day city was formed within its current boundaries during the regional reform of 1974 from 13 districts, some of which had developed independently of one another.
