Celle: Guide
Celle is a town in Celle. The town is located in the southernmost part of the Lüneburg Heath on the banks of the river Aller, a tributary of the Weser.
Celle includes 17 sections, some of which were previously independent villages: Altencelle, Altenhagen, Blumlage/Altstadt, Bostel, Boye, Garssen, Gross Hehlen, Hehlentor, Hustedt, Klein Hehlen, Lachtehausen, Neuenhaeusen, Neustadt/Heese, Scheuen, Vorwerk, Westercelle, and Wietzenbruch.
Celle was first mentioned in a document of A.D. Hanover line of the Welfs.
The buildings in Celle's old town centre date back to the 16th century, among them numerous (and some 480 restored) Timber framing|half-timber houses, making Celle an important city for tourism in the southern Lüneburg Heath region. The most impressive building is the ducal palace, Schloss Celle, which was built in 1530 at the site of the former castle. Another major attraction is the Stadtkirche (town church, 1308) with its white tower, from where the town trumpeter blows a fanfare twice a day (an old tradition that was revived as a tourist attraction). Celle has a synagogue built in 1740, one of the few synagogues that survived the Nazi Germany|Nazi Kristallnacht|pogrom night of 1938 because it was located next to an important leather factory that would have been collaterally damaged.
Celle is also known for the Bomann Museum, a museum of regional history and modern art; and for being an entry point for tourists to the Lüneburg Heath.
The Albrecht-Thaer-Schule, a school in Celle, was founded by Albrecht Thaer|Albrecht Daniel Thaer in 1796.
Celle's railway infrastructure was bombed by the Allies on April 8, 1945. During the raid, concentration camp prisoners managed to escape into the surrounding woods from their transport, which was parked nearby. SS guards and numerous local citizens set out to hunt down the escapees in what became known as the Hasenjagd ("rabbit hunt") and resulted in thousands of deaths, finally ending on April 10.
Since January 17, 1990, Celle has been a twin town of Sumy, Ukraine. Celle also has city partnerships with:
