Wietze, Non-urban municipality in Celle district, Germany

Wietze is a municipality in the Celle district of Lower Saxony located where two rivers meet. The area covers a substantial expanse of countryside in this part of northern Germany.

This area became known for oil extraction in the early-to-middle 20th century, which shaped the region's development. A museum preserves this industrial legacy and tells the story of petroleum discovery and production here.

The municipality maintains traditional community gatherings and local events that bring together residents throughout the year in the Celle administrative region.

Administrative services are located at a central office accessible during standard working hours. Visitors can contact the municipality by phone to ask questions or learn more about the area.

A museum dedicated to oil history reveals how petroleum extraction here sparked the beginnings of Germany's oil industry. This industrial origin remains overlooked despite its deep impact on local development.
