Salzgitter

Salzgitter straddles the Salzgitter Ridge in Lower Saxony, where iron-ore deposits helped turn a scattered group of settlements into one of Germany’s major steel centres. The city was created in 1942 through the amalgamation of numerous municipalities, initially under the name Watenstedt-Salzgitter; its industrial identity remains central today. Salzgittersee, an artificial lake in the northern part of the city, provides a waterside setting for sailing, swimming and walks. Schloss Salder, a Renaissance-era manor housing the Municipal Museum, explores local geology, industry and regional history.
