Seevetal is an independent municipality in the Harburg district in Lower Saxony . It is named after the Seeve river . Seevetal is the most populous area municipality in Germany without town charter and the most populous municipality in the Harburg district.
Geography and traffic
Seevetal is located directly south of Hamburg , around 20 kilometers from the city center, east of the Harburg mountains . The northern parts of the municipality Bullenhausen and Over are on the southern bank of the Elbe.
The districts of Maschen ( A 39 ), Hittfeld ( A 1 ), Fleestedt and Ramelsloh ( A 7 ) have motorway junctions . At the designated part according to the municipality Horst Autobahndreieck " Horster triangle " A 7 and A 1, A 1 and A 39 meet intersect at the " Maschener cross ". However, the many roads also cut the landscape.
Seevetal is in the tariff area of the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (HVV) and has three train stations: Hittfeld on the Hamburg-Harburg - Buchholz - Tostedt route (which continues in the direction of Bremen); Meckelfeld and Maschen on the Hamburg-Harburg - Winsen - Lüneburg route (which continues in the direction of Hanover). The trains usually run every hour and are operated by the metronom railway company with electric locomotives and double-decker cars. In Maschen, the Maschen marshalling yard has been the largest in Europe since 1977. Between 2002 and 2010, all three train stations were redesigned as colorful train stations as part of artistic campaigns by the Seevetal community .
The districts of Fleestedt (line 14) and Meckelfeld (lines 141, 443) are connected to the city bus network of the Hamburger Hochbahn (usually every 20 minutes). Individual city buses (line 543) run to Beckedorf and Woxdorf and Groß Moor (245). The remaining parts of the community are served by buses from the KVG Stade . The most important lines run from Hamburg-Harburg via Hittfeld to Hanstedt (4148) and to Bullenhausen-Over (149). The southeast of the community can be reached from Harburg by changing trains in Maschen or Hittfeld. The connections to the center of Hittfeld are inadequate from the northeast of the municipality. Smaller towns such as Eddelsen, Plumühlen, Hörsten and Friesenwerdermoor have no direct public transport connection.
As an additional offer, the municipality subsidizes a collective call taxi (AST), with which almost all parts of the municipality can be reached at low cost.
history
Seevetal was formed on July 1, 1972 through the amalgamation of 19 independent municipalities. Seevetal is characterized by different parts of the municipality with a small town or village character. The 19 parts of the municipality form six localities:

Seevetal operates a community archive in the local administration of Meckelfeld. Old files, books and local chronicles, which report on the villages of the municipality, are cataloged and kept here. The collection also includes many pictures that document how places and landscapes have changed over time. The documents and images can be viewed publicly. The archive is supported by a working group of local history researchers who provide voluntary help.
In Maschen, Horst and Hörsten there is the “Hallonen-Rundweg”, named after the wooded hill area “The Hallonen” in Maschen, a total of 16 display boards (status 05/2018) on which historical sites, old farms, monuments and rare natural history features of the respective places can be discovered.

coat of arms
The green coat of arms stands for the green valley through which the Seeve river flows. The Seeve is shown as a horizontal wave bar. The heraldic animal is a lion, which was borrowed from the monument to Heinrich the Lion in Braunschweig . Heinrich the lion owned in the 11th / 12th Century a farm in Hittfeld. This is a reminder of the more than 1000-year history of some parts of the community. The millstone symbolizes the many wind and water mills that used to exist. The 19 segments of the stone are a reference to the formerly 19 independent communities.
