| | Hildesheim (district) |
 | | It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Hanover, Peine, Wolfenbüttel, Goslar, Northeim, Holzminden and Hamelin-Pyrmont. |
 | | The present territory of the district was occupied by four districts: Hildesheim, Alfeld, Gronau and Marienburg. |
 | | The Leine river enters the district in the south, runs through the towns of Alfeld and Gronau and leaves in the northwest towards Hanover; a small affluent, the Innerste, joins the Leine from the east after flowing through the city of Hildesheim. |
