Gottingen

Göttingen sits on the River Leine in southern Lower Saxony, Germany, where the wooded slopes of the Göttingen Forest rise immediately east of the city. The Georg-August University, founded in 1737, has shaped local life for nearly three centuries and given Göttingen an international academic profile; numerous Nobel laureates have studied or taught here. In the pedestrian centre, the half-timbered Old Town preserves the medieval town hall, while the Gänseliesel fountain on the market square remains a familiar civic emblem. The Leine valley leads into open countryside, with the Weser Uplands extending beyond the city.
