Osterheide is a territory under direct federal administration and is no municipality and de iure not part of the county. It had around 1200 inhabitants in 2018. It was used as a camp for POWs during WW2 and for refugees during the recent crisis in 2015.
It is co-administrator of NATO's Bergen-Hohne Training Area. The seat of the territory is Oerbke village. The villages of Ostenholz and Wense are also part of the territory.

Osterheide has no proper flag, but flies the state ensign or federal service flag (Bundesdienstflagge) instead.

Osterheide has at least a proper badge, shaped like a shield, fimbriated grey, parted per fess; above light yellow, a Lower Saxonian farm house proper, flanked by two shrubs Vert, at both edges the federal eagle at dexter and the NATO emblem at sinister, in chief a centred inscription in black initials: "GEMEINDEFREIER BEZIRK" (1st line) "OSTERHEIDE" (2nd line); beneath green a dolmen grey.
