Reverse Regional Geohashing

This graticule is made up of two states (Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia) and 14 counties: Celle, Diepholz, Hameln-Pyrmont, Hannover, Heidekreis, Hildesheim, Holzminden, Lippe, Minden-Lübbecke, Nienburg, Peine, Rotenburg, Schaumburg and Verden.

Achieving the reverse regional achievement on state level in this graticule is not especially challenging. The county level is more difficult though: While most counties are well reachable, there are exceptions. For example, the Holzminden county is only hit approximately once a year. But the problem is the Peine county. With only 0.3 square kilometers of this county's area being in this graticule, the area will only be hit once every 69 years.

This graticule might become reverse-regional-achievable on county level in the future thanks to financial problems of the Peine county. It considered a fusion with the neighbouring Hildesheim county, which has significant areas in this graticule. The parliament of the Hildesheim county however rejected the notion in 2015. However, the fusion is not off the table according to representatives of both counties.
