history

At Hansen: Crossing the narrow-gauge railway over the Gerdau

In 1892, as part of the Uelzen – Celle field railway exercise, a railway line with a length of around 70 km was built for a narrow-gauge railway from Uelzen via Hansen and Weesen to Celle . The purpose of the exercise was to find out how, in the event of war, material could be transported to the front on a narrow-gauge railway as quickly as possible. In Hansen, a wooden bridge was built to cross the Gerdau. This route was chosen because there were few obstacles and the heath area was isolated.
