Hardenberg (Dutch: [ˈɦɑrdə(m)bɛr(ə)x] ; Dutch Low Saxon: Haddenbarreg or 'n Arnbarg) is a city and municipality in the province of Overijssel in north-eastern Netherlands. It has borders with the province of Drenthe and an international German border. The population of Hardenberg municipality is 63,895 (in 2025). Other than Hardenberg itself, the second largest population center is Dedemsvaart, and Gramsbergen is the only other city in the municipality. The city of Hardenberg received city rights in 1362 and today has 20.285 inhabitants. It is located to the south-west of Coevorden, south-east of Hoogeveen, and north of Almelo. The Vecht river flows through it and the municipality (together with Ommen and Dalfsen) makes up the Vechtdal (Vecht Valley) area. A sizable portion of the population speaks Dutch Low Saxon as a native language. The municipality Hardenberg was formed on 1 May 1941 during the Reichskommissariat Niederlande period from merging Stad Hardenberg with Ambt Hardenberg, which was headquartered in Heemse. In January 2001, the municipalities Avereest and Gramsbergen were merged into Hardenberg to form a new, larger municipality.
