List of natural regions in Schleswig-Holstein

This list of the biogeographic units in Schleswig- Holstein is the natural spatial structure of higher order again, if they are wholly or partly in the area of Schleswig-Holstein. It is based on the natural spatial structure for Germany, as it has been made ​​since the 1950s and presented in the manual of the biogeographic division of Germany, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and the environment in this state.

The by the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN ) created in 1994 outline that is slightly different from the older, was preceded by the older set numbering in parentheses. In the lower units, the old system was still taken. The main physiographic units are broken down further into sub -, sub - and base units, whose collection has been available only to the extent observed previously and is dealt with in the relevant articles.

Furthermore, these units have to be the property also represented across borders, not to depend on the political division into provinces and districts and find accordingly in marginal areas also return in neighboring articles so here the overlaps to Mecklenburg- Vorpommern.
