The administrative district (Verwaltungsbezirk) of Harz (Landkreis Osterode am Harz) is an unincorporated area in the German district of Osterode am Harz.

Geography

It is the second largest unincorporated area in Germany with an area of 267.35 km² and is entirely uninhabited.

Although it has no recorded population, for administrative reasons it has an official municipality key (Amtlicher Gemeindeschlüssel). The area covers large parts of the district of Osterode am Harz and transitions towards the northeast into the district of Goslar.

Administration

The administration of unincorporated areas in the districts of Osterode am Harz and Goslar, about 98 per cent of which is state forest, is carried out by the Lower Saxon forestry office of Clausthal, which also generates the requisite vital records (birth certificates and death certificates) when required, as well as being responsible as a public authority for safety and law and order. This is a feature that goes back to the mining history of the Harz.[2]
