Alfeld (Leine) has served as a market town in Lower Saxony since the Middle Ages. Set on the River Leine amid the wooded ridges of the Leine Uplands, it has a compact historic centre marked by half-timbered houses and longstanding commercial streets. Alfeld is internationally known for the Fagus Factory, designed by Walter Gropius and Adolf Meyer. Its pioneering glass-and-steel architecture is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, illustrating an important early chapter in modern industrial design.
