Peine

Peine lies along the Fuhse River in Lower Saxony, and its position between Hanover and Braunschweig helped shape it as an industrial town with strong rail connections. Steel has long defined the local economy: the Peiner Träger, a rolled steel beam named after the town, became a well-known product of its steelworks. The market square and St. Jakobi Church mark Peine’s older centre, while the annual Peiner Freischießen maintains a prominent local marksmen’s tradition. Beyond town, the flat North German Plain gives the area its unmistakably lowland character.
