from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Goseburg-Zeltberg is a district of Lüneburg with 2,714 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2009).

It is located in the north of the city and borders the municipality of Bardowick . Delimited in the north by the eastern bypass, in the east by the Ilmenau, in the south it extends to the old town.

history

The name Goseburg goes back to a customs tower from the Middle Ages, similar to the Hasenburg in the south of the city.

The Lüneburg tent mountain has had a number of prehistoric and early historical burial places since the Bronze Age, which were created by the local people in the area of ​​today's city of Lüneburg. From around 1900 BC A so-called “Aunjetitz Edge Ridge Ax” comes from the 4th century BC. It is one of the oldest finds and thus an archaeological testimony to a settled peasant culture. Also worth mentioning are the Lombard urn grave fields discovered there.

The district is one of the old industrial areas from the turn of the century with the Portland cement factory, ironworks and slaughterhouse. After the buildings had been vacant for a long time, the last thing that was rebuilt was the Keulahütte site. The old slaughterhouse gave way long before the building of the district government.

Economy and Infrastructure

Hamburger Strasse, with its connection to the BAB 39, is one of the city's main roads to the north. Today, the district in the north is traditionally characterized by industrial companies such as Johnson Controls , while administration and authorities such as the tax office and the police are located in the south. The old workers' and factory settlements are in the heart of the Zeltberg.

Recently completed, a road bridge now connects the Goseburg with the Lünepark on the other side of the Ilmenau.
