Selsingen is a municipality in the district of Rotenburg, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is situated approximately 15 km southeast of Bremervörde, and 45 km northeast of Bremen, and is twinned with the English village of Sawston in Cambridgeshire.
Selsingen belonged to the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen, established in 1180. In 1648 the Prince-Archbishopric was transformed into the Duchy of Bremen, which was first ruled in personal union by the Swedish and from 1715 on by the Hanoverian Crown. In 1823 the Duchy was abolished and its territory became part of the Stade Region.
Selsingen is also the seat of the Samtgemeinde ("collective municipality") Selsingen.
