Neustadt am Rübenberge

This municipality lies southwest of Hanover in Lower Saxony, spreading across numerous villages and hamlets shaped by broad agricultural fields. The area stretches between wooded ridges and flat meadows, with individual settlements connected by country roads and smaller lanes.

Founded in the early 13th century as a planned settlement, it first appeared in written records in 1215. Over the centuries, the spelling changed several times before the current form gradually became established.

The place takes its name from medieval times, literally meaning new town at the turnip mountain, with the second part referring to a nearby hill. Visitors still find this old designation reflected in street names and signage throughout the area today.

The station in the center offers regular connections toward Bremen and Hanover, with most trains running as regional services. Those wishing to explore the different villages should consider using a car or local buses, as many hamlets lie away from main roads.

The administration divides into 34 separate districts, each with its own local council managing affairs within their communities. This decentralized structure is also visible in the fact that many of these districts maintain their own small churches, village squares and community halls.
