Location
Location description¹:
The district of Helmstedt consists of the towns of Helmstedt (district town), Schöningen and Königslutter am Elm, the municipality of Lehre and the joint municipalities of Grasleben, Velpke, Heeseberg and Nord-Elm. The district covers a total area of around 670 km².
As the former and smallest lignite mining area in Central Germany, we are in the process of transforming ourselves into a future-proof and sustainable region with structural funding from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection.
We see concrete prospects for the creation of new, future-proof jobs in the region and want to make the district attractive, authentic and sustainable in the areas of living, working and housing.
With more than 600 km of signposted cycling and hiking trails, residents and tourists can enjoy nature in the Elm-Lappwald Nature Park. The wide range of leisure activities on offer in the district includes a golf club, museums, a theater and 163 sports clubs. With its wide range of activities for all ages, the district of Helmstedt is a great place to live.
Geographically embedded between the economic centers of Wolfsburg, Braunschweig and Magdeburg, we have excellent transport connections. The major cities of Berlin and Hanover are only a few hours' drive away via the A2 highway. The district is connected to the national rail network via the Helmstedt and Königslutter railroad stations.
