Seelze

Seelze is an urban municipality in the Hanover region situated along the river Leine. The town has three railway stations that connect to the local S-Bahn transit network.

The area developed as a settlement along the Leine centuries ago. After World War II, large numbers of refugees from eastern territories relocated here, transforming the local population.

The local museum displays authentic rooms from different periods, including a shoemaker's workshop from the 1930s and a hairdressing salon from the 1920s. These exhibits offer visitors a sense of how people lived their daily lives in earlier times.

Visitors can access the three railway stations using the S1 and S2 lines, which provide convenient connections to neighboring towns and central Hanover. The town is easily reached through the regional rail network.

The town is home to one of Germany's largest railway freight facilities, where train cars are sorted and managed. This facility is a significant transportation hub that many visitors overlook.
