history
In the Middle Ages , Duke Otto der Strenge left the Dammaschwiese area to the citizens of Celle, presumably for use . Around eight decades later, Duke Magnus donated the area to the city in 1372 as "Danne", as pasture for pigs .
It was not until the time of the Kingdom of Hanover that the city of Celle had the area drained and converted into a meadow in 1848.
