Peine, District capital in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Peine sits between Hanover and Brunswick, with the Fuhse River and Mittellandkanal flowing through its 119 square kilometer territory at 68 meters elevation.
The town received its official privileges in 1223 after Gunzelin von Wolfenbüttel established control over Burg Peine in the early thirteenth century.
The mining industry shaped the region until 1976, with the Lengede mining disaster of 1963 marking a significant event in local memory.
The town maintains three postal codes - 31224, 31226, and 31228 - serving its population of 51,411 residents across sixteen distinct neighborhoods.
Two medieval silver treasures emerged during excavations in 1954 and 1956 under Stederdorfer Straße and Horstweg, revealing the town's historical wealth.
