Location of the city of Salzgitter in Lower Saxony

Salzgitter is a city in the northern Harz foreland , in the southeast of Lower Saxony . The independent city is the seat of Salzgitter AG and, together with the cities of Braunschweig and Wolfsburg, forms a regiopole region and one of the state's nine regional centers . It is part of the Hanover-Braunschweig-Göttingen-Wolfsburg metropolitan region . Salzgitter has existed in its current form since 1942 and was one of the few new city foundations in Germany in the first half of the 20th century.

The city is connected to the Mittelland Canal by a branch canal . The closest major cities are the city of Braunschweig, which borders the city to the northeast, the city of Hildesheim , 30 km to the west, and the city of Hanover, 50 km to the north-west .

Salzgitter became a large city for the first time in 1942, but on December 31, 2012, according to the 2011 European census, it had only 98,095 inhabitants and thus became a medium- sized town . On September 30, 2015, the city crossed the threshold of a large city again with an official population of 100,365.

location

Salzgitter is located in a wide loess-covered hollow between the Oder Forest in the east and the Lichtenberg Mountains (northwest part of the Salzgitter ridge ) in the western part of the urban area and the northern central part of the Salzgitter ridge in the southern urban area. The city is traversed by the upper reaches of the Fuhse in a north-west-south-east direction . The middle reaches of the Innerste flows a few kilometers through the extreme southwest of Salzgitter.

The largest expansion of the urban area is 24 km in north-south direction and 19 km in east-west direction. The highest point in the urban area is 275  m above sea level. NHN high Hamberg northwest of Salzgitter-Bad .

Around half of the urban area is used for agriculture, around a sixth is forested. Another sixth is divided into similar proportions in residential or commercial / industrial areas. The traffic areas also occupy a similar proportion as the residential areas.

City structure

The urban area of ​​Salzgitter consists of seven localities , which are made up of a total of 31 districts . Each locality has a local council with a local mayor elected by the population with voting rights . With an area of ​​223.92 km², the city is one of the largest cities in Germany . In contrast to historically grown cities, which mostly developed around a center, there is no town center here. Only Salzgitter-Lebenstedt can claim a certain management function for itself because of its size (as by far the most populous district) and location as well as because of the seat of the administration.

history

Prehistory to 1829

The first evidence of the presence of humans in the Salzgitter area comes from the archaeological site of Salzgitter-Lebenstedt , where pieces of mammoth , reindeer and Neanderthal bones were excavated in 1952 . The huge iron ore deposits in the region were known as early as the birth of Christ. The ore was smelted by Teutons in Rennöfen .

Inner courtyard of Gebhardshagen Castle

During the Saxon Wars of Charlemagne (from 772 to 804), the Saxon people were violently subjugated, Christianized and incorporated into the Frankish Empire. Around 1150, Heinrich the Lion , Duke of Saxony and Bavaria, built a castle on the Lichtenberg to protect the trade route to Braunschweig. In 1154 Gebhardshagen Castle was first mentioned in a document as "hus to dem Haghen". Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa conquered Lichtenberg Castle in 1180 after Henry the Lion was ostracized. Around the turn of the 12th to the 13th century, Gerhard von Steterburg , provost of the Steterburg canonical monastery , wrote the Steterburger Annalen (Annales Stederburgenses) , a chronicle of the monastery from its founding in 1000 to the death of Henry the Lion in 1195. In the As a result, the Prince Diocese of Hildesheim and the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg formed in the northern Harz foreland from 1235 .

At the beginning of the 14th century, today's district of Salzgitter-Bad was built around brine springs on the border of the districts of the villages of Vepstedt (later opened), grid and Kniestedt . The settlement got the name Salzgitter from the neighboring village and today's district grid (first mentioned in 1347 as "up dem solte to Gytere"). After 200 years of salt production in the saltworks Salzliebenhalle , the farmers in the area of ​​today's Salzgitter-Bad received city ​​rights around 1350 , but the city lost these rights when the monastery passed from Hildesheim to the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel at the beginning of the 16th century. After 1643 what was then Salzgitter (-Bad) belonged again to the Hildesheim Monastery. When it passed to Prussia in 1803, the city rights were confirmed again, but were revoked again in 1815, when the city was incorporated into the Kingdom of Hanover .

The Salzgitter musicians, the Klesmer , went into the world from 1815 to 1906. Due to the cessation of spinning and weaving in the whole of southern Hanover, the residents and craftsmen in this area were in need. They turned to music and with it conquered the European states, North and South America and Australia. With the "Salzgitterschen" musicians, residents from 86 cities and villages in southern Hanover and Brunswick moved into the world.

1830 to 1932

In 1830 a brine bath was set up in Salzgitter-Bad . After the Kingdom of Hanover was annexed by Prussia ( Province of Hanover ) in 1866, the place became a Prussian commune, which again received city rights in 1929. Before that, Vorsalz (1926, called Petershagen until 1739) and Liebenhalle (1928) were incorporated. The city belonged to the district of Goslar and, in addition to the core town of Salzgitter (-Bad), also included some small settlements that can no longer be delimited today, for example Gittertor (taken over from Grid in 1936). In 1938 Kniestedt was incorporated.

The first steps towards the Salzgitter industrial site were registered in 1868, when Emil Langen from Solingen (1824–1870) established the Eisenwerk Salzgitter corporation with four blast furnaces, coking plants and casting halls at the Gittertor in Salzgitter-Bad . In 1870 he had a fatal accident in a blast furnace explosion and in 1874 the company fell victim to the Viennese stock exchange and bank crash .

The Lichtenberg castle ruins were restored from 1892 to 1893 and the keep of the castle was rebuilt. In 1911 a new bath house was built in Salzgitter-Bad. Duke Ernst August von Braunschweig sold the saltworks to the Saline Liebenhalle GmbH Hanover in 1920 . The salt works deteriorated and in 1934 individual structures were forcibly auctioned off. The well-known well beyond Germany drilling entrepreneur and pioneer of deep drilling technology Anton Raky found his interest in the site in 1922 and settled in Salzgitter-Bad.

1933 to 1945

Because of the large iron ore deposits in the Salzgitter area, which were first mentioned in 1310, the National Socialists founded the Reichswerke AG for ore mining and ironworks "Hermann Göring" (Hermann Göring Works) on July 15, 1937 . The area between Goslar, Wolfenbüttel and Braunschweig became one of the largest construction sites in Europe at this time. Many farms were relocated to the Hanover area. The general construction management was subject to Herbert Rimpl . The architects involved were Walter Tralau and Werner Hebebrand and the garden and landscape planner Wilhelm Heintz .

In order for the plant to develop economically well, a uniform administrative structure was required throughout the area. Therefore, in accordance with the ordinance on territorial adjustments in the area of ​​the Hermann-Göring-Werke Salzgitter 1941, with effect from April 1, 1942, an order was made to form a uniform city ​​district (independent city). For this purpose, the former town of Salzgitter (today's Salzgitter-Bad) and the communities of Beinum, Flachstöckheim, Groß-Mahner, Hohenrode, Ohlendorf and Ringelheim (a total of 7 communities), which also belong to the district of Goslar, as well as the communities of Barum, which belong to the Brunswick district of Wolfenbüttel , were established , Beddingen, Bleckenstedt, Bruchmachtersen, Calbecht, Drütte, Engelnstedt, Engerode, Gebhardshagen, Hallendorf, Heerte, Immendorf, Lebenstedt, Lesse, Lichtenberg, Lobmachtersen, Osterlinde, Reppner, Salder, Thiede-Steterburg (today only Thiede) and Watenstedt (in total 21 municipalities) united to form the urban district of Watenstedt-Salzgitter. The new independent city was incorporated into the state of Braunschweig with the remainder of the Goslar district. In return, the state of Braunschweig gave the district of Holzminden to the Prussian province of Hanover. With the village of grid, which was incorporated into Salzgitter-Bad as early as 1940, the young city had 28 districts from 1942. Grid was only granted the status of an independent district in 1949 and thus became the 29th district of Salzgitters.

During the Second World War , Salzgitter was badly damaged by numerous American and British bombings. On April 10, 1945, American troops took the city area.

1946 to 1999

After the Second World War, the state of Braunschweig became part of the state of Lower Saxony and Watenstedt-Salzgitter was thus an urban district within the now administrative district of Braunschweig (later the administrative district of Braunschweig ). In 1951 the city was renamed Salzgitter , all parts of the city received the prefix Salzgitter for their place names, e.g. B. Salzgitter-Salder . Since the district of Salzgitter would then have been called Salzgitter-Salzgitter , it was given the addition Bad because of the brine bath there , but as part of Salzgitter after the place name (Salzgitter-Bad) .

In 1949, the Allied Reparations Commission in Brussels decided to dismantle 90% of the smelter. With the uprising of steel workers against this decision in 1950, dismantling began in Germany. The town hall in Lebenstedt was built from 1959 to 1963. In 1960 Blaupunkt opened its plant in Salzgitter; Volkswagen followed in 1969.

In 1961 the central registration office of the state justice administrations in Salzgitter started its work. The registration office had the task of investigating evidence of the use of force at the borders and in penal systems in the GDR and of collecting evidence about it.

In 1972 the thermal brine bath at Greifpark in Salzgitter-Bad was opened to the public. The old bathhouse, built in 1911, was demolished. This year MAN took over the systems from the traditional company Büssing in Watenstedt. As part of the regional reform in Lower Saxony , the communities of Üfingen and Sauingen (Wolfenbüttel district) were incorporated on March 1, 1974. Since then, the Salzgitters urban area has consisted of 31 districts.

"Traditional island" in the old town of Salzgitter-Bad

Robert Bosch Elektronik GmbH has been producing in Salzgitter since 1985. Mining (iron ore) was operated in Salzgitter until 1982 . A repository for radioactive waste has been planned in the former Konrad iron ore mine since 1975 . In 1975 the Salzgittersee was completed with the planned size of 75 hectares. The dredging work began in October 1960, and considerable remains of mammoth, bison, aurochs and rhinoceros were found in the gravel ground. In January 1978, the ice rink was opened at Salzgittersee. In 1985, the so-called “traditional island” in Salzgitter-Bad was completed from renovated old town buildings. Two years later, Salzgitter-Bad was officially recognized as a place with a brine cure .

In 1989, Salzgitter became the seat of the Federal Office for Radiation Protection .

In 1992 the central registration office of the state justice administrations was dissolved. In the three decades of its existence, the authority recorded around 42,000 acts of violence in what was then the GDR. After the unit had been completed, she handed the files over to the public prosecutor's offices responsible in the respective locations. Salzgitter celebrated its 50th birthday in 1992. In this anniversary year, the city was the destination of the International Lower Saxony Tour of Radamateurs on Easter Monday .

In 1993 and 2001, Salzgitter hosted the Braunschweigische Landschaft cultural festival .

In 1994 the Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences set up a branch in Calbecht.

In 1995 Salzgitter received a landmark with the tower of work by Jürgen Weber : almost 14 m high and weighing more than 36,500 kg. The sampler rises from the ironworks at its top, symbolizing the people's will to live and build. In its uniqueness in contemporary art, the monument keeps alive the memory of the construction of the industrial area and city during National Socialism and of the forced labor in the imperial works. It also reminds of the suffering and death of countless people fleeing the former German eastern territories at the end of the Second World War, of the dismantling of industrial plants by the Allies after 1945 and the resistance of the workers against it, but at the same time of the development of an economic area to become the third largest Lower Saxony's industrial location.

The new building for the Federal Office for Radiation Protection was ready for occupancy in 1997. The Citytor , a former department store building, opened in 1998. In addition to many shops, there is also a large cinema with seven venues. The Citizen Center was set up in the atrium of the town hall in order to improve the city administration's customer service for citizens.

2000 until today

In 2001 the Lord Mayor was elected directly for the first time and also took over the duties of the previous City Director. Helmut Knebel became the first Lord Mayor of the new form. On its 60th birthday (2002), Salzgitter became the regional center in Lower Saxony. The first 5-mast water ski ropeway between Harz and Heide was opened in 2004. In this year the new trampoline hall of the TG Jugenddorf was officially opened. On June 2, 2005, the Norddeutsche Rundfunk (NDR) produced an episode of the program Current Schaubude live in front of Salder Castle . In 2006, Frank Klingebiel was the first mayor elected for eight years. The Children's University became an official UN World Decade Project in 2007. On January 1, 2008, Salzgitter became the first city in Lower Saxony to have a child representative. Attending a day-care center has been free of charge since August 1, 2008. In January 2008, the water and energy supply company Salzgitter ( WEVG Salzgitter ) and the energy supply company Avacon AG merged . The City-Carrée shopping center was opened in June 2008 . In front of the former building of the central registration office of the state justice administrations, a section of the former Berlin Wall , provided with a bronze plate, was presented on November 9, 2009 (anniversary of the fall of the wall) . The integrated comprehensive school started in August 2010. In autumn 2010 the new building of the clinic in Lebenstedt was completed, in autumn 2011 a commercial vehicle logistics center in Watenstedt and in autumn 2012 the technical center of an energy supplier in Lebenstedt. Since 2013, the inner city of Salzgitter-Lebenstedt has been continuously changed with renovations and new buildings, including a new, modern shopping center. A new bus station was added at the end of 2014 .

In 2017, Salzgitter was included in the 27th edition of Dudens .

Incorporations

Today's district of Salzgitter-Bad gave its name to the town of Salzgitter, which was formed in 1942. In the picture: half-timbered houses in the old town.

On April 1, 1942, the independent city of Watenstedt-Salzgitter was formed (renamed Salzgitter in 1951) through the unification of the following communities:

• from the district of Goslar :
  • City of Salzgitter (today's Salzgitter-Bad, at that time also called Bad Salzgitter, grid was incorporated here as early as 1940)
  • Municipalities of Beinum, Flachstöckheim, Groß Mahner, Hohenrode, Ohlendorf and Ringelheim
• from the district of Wolfenbüttel :
  • Municipalities of Barum, Beddingen, Bleckenstedt, Bruchmachtersen, Calbecht, Drütte, Engelnstedt, Engerode, Gebhardshagen, Hallendorf, Heerte, Immendorf, Lebenstedt, Lesse, Lichtenberg, Lobmachtersen, Osterlinde, Reppner, Salder, Thiede-Steterburg (today only Thiede) and Watenstedt

In the course of the regional reform in Lower Saxony , which took place on March 1, 1974, the communities Sauingen and Üfingen, which belonged to the district of Wolfenbüttel, were incorporated.

Population development

With the merger of the city of Salzgitter and another 27 communities to form the city of Watenstedt-Salzgitter on April 1, 1942, the city's population exceeded the limit of 100,000, making it a major city. On January 24, 1951, the name was changed to Salzgitter . In 1974 the population reached its historic high of 121,711. In 2012 (98,095), 2013 (98,197) and 2014 (98,966) only a population of less than 100,000 was reached, which means that Salzgitter was no longer a large city for a few years - it wasn't until 2015 that the 100,000 mark was exceeded again.

The following overview shows the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status . Up to 1833 these are mostly estimates, then census results or official updates by the respective statistical offices or the city administration itself. From 1843 onwards, the information relates to the “local population” and from 1925 to the resident population. Before 1843, the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey methods.

Religions

history

The area of ​​today's city of Salzgitter belonged to the diocese of Hildesheim in the Middle Ages. In 1568 Duke Julius introduced the Reformation . Two superintendents were created . The southern area of ​​today's city (Superintendentur Salzgitter) belonged to the state of Hanover and thus to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover (Consistory in Hildesheim), the northern area (Superintendentur Lebenstedt) to the state of Braunschweig and thus to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Braunschweig .

With the formation of the city of Watenstedt-Salzgitter in 1942, the entire current city area was assigned to the state of Braunschweig, both politically and ecclesially. Thus today all parishes in the city of Salzgitter belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Regional Church in Braunschweig. The two superintendent's offices are known today as provosts . The two provosts of Salzgitter-Bad and Salzgitter-Lebenstedt belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Braunschweig; however, they also include parishes that do not belong to the city of Salzgitter.

In connection with the establishment of the Reichswerk, more Catholics moved to the area of ​​today's city, which soon made up a good 30% of the population. Initially, the northern part belonged to the parish of St. Petrus (Wolfenbüttel), while the southern part of the city belonged to the parishes of St. Marien (Bad) and Abdon and Sennen (Ringelheim). Against the will of the rulers at the time, who, according to Adolf Hitler's orders (July 1939), did not want to allow any further church buildings to be built, the Hildesheim diocese managed to establish a total of eight communities during the war. In this context, the activities of the later honorary citizen of the city of Salzgitter, Ehrendomkapitular Johannes Wosnitza († 1995) should be emphasized . After the war, the Hildesheim diocese set up its own dean's office in Salzgitter, which became part of the Goslar – Salzgitter dean's office, which was newly established in 2007.

In addition to the two large churches, there are also congregations that belong to free churches , including an Evangelical Free Church Congregation ( Baptists ), the Church of God , a Brethren Congregation , a Free Evangelical Congregation (FeG), a Christian Congregation Elim and the Seventh-day Free Church -Adventists . There are also several New Apostolic Churches and Kingdom Halls of Jehovah's Witnesses in the city. Due to the immigration of foreign workers in the 1970s, there are now numerous Islamic mosques, Islamic associations and an Alevi community in the city.

mayor

A state commissioner was initially appointed as acting mayor at the head of the city of Watenstedt-Salzgitter. After the Second World War , the military government of the British Zone of Occupation introduced the local constitution based on the British model. Then there was a popularly elected council. This elected the mayor from among his number as chairman and representative of the city, who was active on a voluntary basis. In addition, from 1946 there was a full-time senior city director, also elected by the council, as head of the city administration.

In 2001, the dual leadership of the city administration in Salzgitter was given up. Since then there has only been the full-time mayor. He is the head of the city administration and representative of the city. He has been elected directly by the people since 2001. The first directly elected Lord Mayor was Helmut Knebel (SPD), who took office on November 1, 2001. He was elected on September 23, 2001 in a runoff election with 55.5% of the vote.

The current incumbent is Frank Klingebiel , who was elected Lord Mayor on September 24, 2006 in a run-off election with 51.7%. He took office on November 1, 2006. He is assisted by the two mayors Stefan Klein (SPD) and his deputy Marcel Bürger (Greens). In the Mayor election on May 25, 2014 Klingebiel was elected with 65% of the votes cast against Sabine Fricke (independent, supported by SPD and Greens, 29.1%), Hermann Fleischer (left, 4.2%) and Edward Majewski (independent, 1.6%) confirmed in office.

In addition to the mayor, the council also has its own chairman, who is elected from among its members at the constituent meeting of the council after each local election.

coat of arms

Current coat of arms

Salzgitter can look back on an eventful coat of arms history. In the area of ​​today's city, no fewer than five coats of arms have replaced one another ( see: old coats of arms ). The design of today's municipal coat of arms comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Gustav Völker , who designed all coats of arms in the Hanover region . The approval of the coat of arms was given at the same time as the change of the city name from Watenstedt-Salzgitter to Salzgitter on January 24, 1951 by the Lower Saxony Minister of the Interior .

Blazon : “In red over a silver crenellated wall with a raised gable , growing a silver blast furnace , accompanied by two golden ears of corn . The wall is covered with a green shield with a gold tip . Above in green two silver salt hooks , below in gold black mallets and iron . "

Justification for the coat of arms: Klemens Stadler says in his book: “Today's coat of arms emphasizes the city character through the wall, the important industry through the blast furnace and the ears of agriculture still practiced in the area. The miner's toughness describes ore mining. The Salzhaken come from the coat of arms of the former town of Salzgitter, which was incorporated in 1942 (now the district of Salzgitter-Bad), which they ran (until 1854 together with a bearded head) since the 18th century. "

City logo

The city of Salzgitter, like most cities, has officially been using the city logo for several years, a green field with a winding white path that tapers towards the horizon. Since September 19, 2007, the city has also had a children's logo, which, based on the city logo, was drawn by a child. This children's logo has been further developed and is now located above the city name "Salzgitter", which is accompanied by the green and white graphic on the left and the words "Promote children and support families" below.

Culture and sights

theatre

Salzgitter does not have a permanent theater or a corresponding building. But cultural events take place at different venues. In Salzgitter-Lebenstedt there is the culture barn, which is multifunctionally equipped for events of all kinds. The Kniestedter Church, built in the 15th century, is located in the south of the city in Salzgitter-Bad. It has been used as an event venue since 1985. But ensembles also appear on the auditorium stages in the Fredenberg and Salzgitter-Bad high schools. There is also a multifunctional ice rink, the Salzgittersee and the castle courtyard of Salder Castle.

Theater performances are offered by the cabaret, the theater group and the theater association.

Cinemas

There are three cinemas in Salzgitter : The Filmpassage Salzgitter (in the Lebenstedt district) is the largest cinema with seven halls. A medium-sized cinema is the Kultiplex on Berliner Straße (also in Lebenstedt) with three cinemas. It has the largest cinema in Salzgitter and the rare 7-channel digital sound technology. The small art house cinema , in which more sophisticated films are regularly shown, is located in the Angerpassage in the Salzgitter-Bad district .

Museums

• Municipal Museum in Salder Castle

The city history museum is divided into three sections. In the museum, the visitor can collect many impressions from the geological beginnings, through prehistory and early history, the Middle Ages and modern times to urban development in the 20th century. In the “Museum for Industry, Technology, Work and Mobility”, the industrial and technical history of Salzgitter and the region between the Harz and Heide since the 19th century is presented.

The star of the geology department is an ichthyosaur, an ichthyosaur, which lived 115 million years ago in the Lower Cretaceous and whose skeleton was discovered in 1941 in the ore mining that began in Salzgitter. In the Childhood History Museum , visitors can admire a collection of toys from the 19th and 20th centuries that is unique in the region. The aim of the exhibition is also to provide insights into the living conditions of the children in this region.

In addition to the permanent exhibitions, a large number of temporary and special exhibitions contribute to a lively museum life. Outside the museum buildings, sculptures and objects by recognized sculptors can be seen next to the old bakery and the Osterlinder post mill in the mill garden. The outdoor area of ​​the Ice Age Garden was completed on June 2, 2006 on 2,000 m² . This shows the living conditions of the Neanderthals who, as the finds at the Krähenriede in Salzgitter prove, went hunting in the northern foothills of the Harz region at the beginning of the last Ice Age.

The castle's former cowshed has been expanded into the Salzgitter City Art Hall. Works from the municipal art collection on the subject of the world of work and changing exhibitions of modern visual arts are regularly exhibited there. The annual highlight is the Salder Salon with works from the studios of Lower Saxon artists.

The following events also take place in or in front of Salder Castle: children's birthdays, museum festival / mill day, international museum day, city breakfast, cultural summer. In 2008 the 400th anniversary of the castle was celebrated with an extensive anniversary program.

Libraries

The Salzgitter City Library has its main office in the Lebenstedt district as well as branches on the market square in the old town of Salzgitter-Bad and in the Fredenberg school center. The total media inventory is 119,000 copies (as of 2016). The city library has already been awarded the Lower Saxony Library Prize twice (1st place and 2nd place).

• Lichtenberg Castle was once built by Heinrich the Lion , destroyed in 1552 and exposed again in the 1950s. Located on a steep hilltop of the Salzgitter ridge, it served the Brunswick Guelph Duke to secure his power base against the neighbors in the episcopal city of Hildesheim and the imperial Goslar. Due to its strategically important location, trade routes could also be controlled. After the open dispute with Henry the Lion in 1180, it was a preferred target of attack and conquest of Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa and his troops. In 1995, the 800th year of Heinrich the Lion's death, extensive renovation and restoration work began on the castle grounds with the support of the State of Lower Saxony, foundations, private donors and the city of Salzgitter. A visible sign of the castle is a hexagonal tower built in 1892/1893 on the remains of the keep with a wooden viewing platform, which offers visitors a view of the northern Salzgitter, the Harz with the Brocken and as far as Braunschweig when the visibility is good. There is also an excursion restaurant there.
• Salder Castle , the old landmark of the city with the city museum, built in 1608 for the privy councilor David Sachse, became the seat of the noble family von Saldern in the Duchy of Braunschweig in 1620 . In 1695, Hereditary Prince August Wilhelm von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel acquired the palace complex and had it rebuilt by the Brunswick court architect Hermann Korb . The castle was later used as a widow's seat and ducal domain. The city of Salzgitter acquired the castle in 1955 for a symbolic purchase price of one mark. The City Museum of the City of Salzgitter has been housed here since 1962. The castle had to be closed in 1976 because of dilapidation and was reopened in 1981 after extensive renovation measures. Salder Castle has retained its original character as a castle-like complex with a pleasure garden and farm yard to the present day.

Many of the listed buildings are also recognized cultural monuments . Others are the double lock on the branch canal, the former guest house (today Hotel am See), the administration building of today's Salzgitter AG (with paternoster lift ), the post mill at Salder Castle, the buildings of the technical college and the Ratskeller in Salzgitter-Bad.

• The city monument ( tower of work ), another landmark of the city, built in 1995 by the sculptor Prof. Jürgen Weber, is located in the center of the largest district of Salzgitter, in Lebenstedt. This was preceded by more than ten years of intensive planning and examination of this project. In the upper area, the monument tells of the suffering of the forced laborers and concentration camp prisoners during the establishment of industry during National Socialism, of the escape from their homeland on the other side of the Oder and Neisse rivers, of the fight against the dismantling of the hut and the will to live and rebuild the people in Salzgitter . The figure of a sampler rises above the image of today's steel production. In the lower, almost cube-shaped block with life-size depictions, the bronze monument shows the forced labor in the Reichswerke Hermann Göring , above it rises the industrial landscape of Salzgitter in white marble.
• Ringelheim Castle was founded as a monastery in the 10th century and secularized in 1803. This includes the baroque church of St. Abdon and Sennen , which was renovated in 1694 in today's style, with its valuable organ from the 17th century. Worth seeing are the spacious palace square and an octagonal pigeon tower in the manor, the monastery church with its baroque organ and the manor. In 1817, the Hanoverian General Feldzeugmeister Graf von der Betten acquired the estate and former Ringelheim monastery and converted it into a manor house with an English landscaped garden. The palace and park are now privately owned.
• Gebhardshagen Castle , the exact year of construction of the castle is not known, it was first mentioned in a document in 1186. A moated castle once stood here until the current building made of shell limestone and red sandstone was built around 1200. The castle is one of the oldest in the state of Braunschweig, until 1986 it was the seat of an agricultural domain and is used for events after extensive renovations.
• Gut Flachstöckheim with an open-air stage and an English park. The property was built in 1722.
• Open-air stage in Salzgitter-Flachstöckheim (hardly used)
• Ruins of Lichtenberg Castle, built by Heinrich the Lion
• Bismarck tower in Salzgitter-Bad
• Franzosenbrücke (stone arch bridge) over the Innerste river near Hohenrode
• Kniestedter manor house in Salzgitter-Bad (now Biedermeier wedding room and music school), dates back to 1533 and is probably the oldest half-timbered house in today's Salzgitter. Together with Tilly-Haus , Garßenhof , Gildehaus and Rosengarten it forms the traditional island.
• Tilly house in Salzgitter-Bad
• Sculpture path
• Bee and nature educational trail in Salzgitter-Beinum
• Vöppstedter ruin in Salzgitter-Bad
• Traditional island with rose garden Salzgitter-Bad
• Heerter See
• Salzgitter mountain range
• The Jammertal cemetery near Lebenstedt is one of the central memorial sites in Salzgitter. Around 3,000 victims from the time of National Socialist rule were buried there.
• The Gaußstein , a memorial with an information board in the Salzgitter ridge , stands above the Lichtenberg castle ruins. The German mathematician, astronomer, geodesist and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauß had it built around 1820 for surveying purposes due to its location in the Lichtenberg Mountains. From there, he could also take aim at measuring points that were far away. Gauss measured the Kingdom of Hanover on behalf of King George IV . To do this, he created a triangular network for the entire area of ​​the former Kingdom of Hanover and used it to determine the coordinates of more than two thousand trigonometric points .

Lakes and nature reserves

There are five nature reserves in Salzgitter (“ Heerter See and Heerter Strauchholz ”, “ Köppelmannsberg ”, “ Mittleres Innerstetal with Kanstein ”, “ Speckenberg ” and “ Haverlahwiese opencast mine ”). The largest area comprises the Heerter See and the Heerter Strauchholz forest area (around 323 ha). Like two other lakes ( Reihersee , Salzgittersee ), the Heerter See was created through human intervention. Today it is still a nature reserve and is home to rare species of plants and birds. Its salty water provides a habitat for special plant species and the shallow bank zones are ideal for waders. You can see cranes, wigeons, velvet ducks, whooper swans and many sandpipers. Salzgitter has around 3700 hectares of nature and landscape protection areas. Highlighted is the Innerstetal, a natural river landscape with heavy metal vegetation, which has its origins in the centuries-old Harz mining. Salzgitter also has a nature and bee trail on an area of ​​13,500 m².

The entire city of Salzgitter is a habitat for a unique flora and fauna. In the Salzgitter ridge there are semi-arid and dry grasslands, breeding grounds for orchid and gentian species. Salzgitter is also home to the green toad , which has its northernmost distribution in the city. Another lake in Salzgitter is the Reihersee in the Salzgitter ridge, which was created from a clearing pond. The Salzgitter ridge is by far the largest protected landscape area . There are eight more in Salzgitter.

The largest single body of water is the Salzgittersee, a nationally known local recreation center. With 75 hectares of water and a north-south extension of 2120 m, it can also be used for some water sports, but there is a ban on drive motors. With its good water quality, it is an area for swimmers, anglers, divers, sailors, surfers, rowers, canoeists and model boat enthusiasts. A Finn running track, which is unique in the region, invites you to jog on an ankle-friendly surface. A few years ago a commercial water ski facility started operations on the west side; Nearby there are also basketball courts, football fields and an ice rink. In the middle of the Salzgittersee there is a 25 hectare park-like island, accessible via a bridge, which is largely spared from the various activities and which provides peace and relaxation while walking. Since it was released for swimming and water sports in May 1963, the lake has gained steadily increasing importance as a local recreation area with the possibility of varied leisure activities. At the end of the 1950s, planning considerations for the construction of this artificial lake, which had been carried out 20 years earlier as part of the construction of a large housing estate, were resumed; construction began in 1960.

leisure

Salzgitter has a hiking trail network of 150 km in the Salzgitter ridge. There are also 120 km of cycle paths.

The ice rink at Salzgittersee was built in 1978. The Salzgittersee , with its 75 hectares and a north-south extension of 2120 m (regatta route), is considered a territory for sailors, surfers, rowers and canoeists .

A lake of a completely different kind is the Heerter See, a nature reserve and European bird reserve. Artificially created, it was used as a mud pond for washing iron ore. Its salty water provides habitat for special plant species and its shallow bank zones are suitable for waders. The Salzgitter district group of the Nature Conservation Union ( NABU ) identified 288 bird species in population surveys; 112 of them are threatened. They include cranes, ospreys, cormorants and sandpipers, who use the lake as a stepping stone on the way to the wintering or breeding areas.

In the thermal brine bath in Salzgitter-Bad, a 25 percent natural thermal brine gushes from a depth of 243 m, one of the strongest in Central Europe, which was mentioned in a document as early as 1125. It is pumped from the rose garden into the thermal brine bath. The brine is suitable for the treatment of rheumatic diseases and of respiratory organs, for follow-up treatments after operations and accidental injuries to the musculoskeletal system, gynecological problems and skin diseases. A small show graduation tower was built in the rose garden of Salzgitter-Bad through a private citizens' initiative , which was inaugurated on October 23, 2009. It should tie in with the tradition of the health resort and salt resort Salzgitter.

There are also two geopaths, two mini golf courses and an 18-hole golf course. In addition, there is the option of a tour of the ironworks at Salzgitter AG.

Waterway and port

Salzgitter branch canal

Salzgitter has the most heavily handled inland port in Lower Saxony. The inland port of Salzgitter-Beddingen is connected to the Mittelland Canal via an 18 km long branch canal in north-south orientation . Thus there is a direct connection over water to the Dortmund-Ems Canal , the Elbe and the Elbe-Havel Canal as well as to the major ports on the North Sea and Baltic Sea . The freight transport center is located directly on the branch canal .

Rail transport

railroad

Salzgitter does not have an official main train station . The Ringelsheim station was the hub of the 1856 opened railway Brunswick-Kreiensen with the 1875 by the Hanover-Altenbeken Railway Company commissioned in Hildesheim-Goslar railway . The largest district of Lebenstedt has a stop on the former Braunschweig – Derneburg railway line . It is served by the lines RB44 and RB48 as a final stop to and from Braunschweig.

Today three railway lines run through Salzgitter: A regional train from Herzberg / Seesen to Braunschweig stops in Ringelheim and Bad . A regional express from Hanover to Bad Harzburg via Goslar and regional trains from Hanover / Hildesheim to Goslar / Bad Harzburg stop in Ringelheim. A regional train also runs from Lebenstedt to Braunschweig . This also stops in Thiede , Immendorf and Watenstedt . The Lengede - Broistedt station on the Hildesheim – Braunschweig railway line outside the city of Salzgitter was called Broistedt-Salzgitter Nord for a number of years .

History of the railway network

The railway network was completely redesigned between 1938 and 1958 due to the development of a significant heavy industry.

In the south of the Salzgitter district, the state railway line brought in 1856 from Braunschweig via Börßum in the direction of Kreiensen touched the stations of Salzgitter - today "Salzgitter-Bad" - and Ringelheim (Harz). It was only in the course of the redesign of the network that the Deutsche Reichsbahn opened the line from Leiferde to Salzgitter-Drütte in 1941 and in 1956 the Deutsche Bundesbahn opened the further extension to Salzgitter-Bad, so that today's Braunschweig – Kreiensen line was created, which shortened the route from Braunschweig .

The Groß Ilsede – Broistedt railway was connected to the steelworks via Salzgitter-Engelnstedt from 1940 , where it was connected to the newly built Salzgitter railway to Salzgitter-Calbecht and Salzgitter-Bad (Finkenkuhle) and the Haverlahwiese mine .

An important transfer station to the public rail network (Beddingen station) is located between the eponymous Salzgitter-Beddingen and Groß Gleidingen in the southeast corner of the Peine district. There is a connection to the Hildesheim – Groß Gleidingen and Hanover – Braunschweig railway lines . As a special feature, this marshalling yard has a complete transverse division of the track fields on its southern half, on the one hand to the Salzgitter railway to the Salzgitter steelworks , and on the other to the nearby Volkswagen plant in Salzgitter . The former Groß Gleidingen – Wolfenbüttel railway via Hoheweg was replaced in 1941 by the connecting line from Wolfenbüttel to the Salzgitter-Drütte station on the Braunschweig – Derneburg railway line . This short link was hardly used from 1980 at the latest and was shut down and dismantled at the end of the 1990s.

The Braunschweigische Landes-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft , originally operating in the Salzgitter area, opened the Braunschweig – Hoheweg – Lichtenberg – Derneburg line and the Hoheweg – Wolfenbüttel branch in 1886. The company was nationalized in 1938, and its routes were completely changed or dismantled, through the aforementioned Wolfenbüttel – Salzgitter-Drütte and in 1953/54 through the stretch from Salzgitter-Drütte to Salzgitter-Lichtenberg, where the original route of the Braunschweig – Derneburg railway was was reached again.

Public transport

Local public transport ( public transport ) are used primarily in lines of CCG haulage company Braunschweig and several lines of RBB regional bus Braunschweig in Verbundtarif Region Braunschweig (VRB).

air traffic

The Salzgitter-Drütte airfield is located between the Drütte district and Salzgitter AG . The largest airfield is only one kilometer outside the grid district, while motorized and glider flights are operated at the “Schäferstuhl” airfield. Another glider airfield is located directly on Lake Salzgitter. The nearest airport with national and international flights is in Hanover .
