Uelzen

The landscape around Uelzen is a gently rolling mix of heathland, woodland and farmland on the edge of the Lüneburg Heath, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The town lies on the Ilmenau, a river within the Elbe basin. Uelzen developed as a Hanseatic trading town, and its brick-built centre reflects northern German urban traditions. Its best-known modern landmark is Uelzen station, redesigned to plans by Friedensreich Hundertwasser for Expo 2000; its colourful façade and irregular forms make an everyday railway stop an architectural destination.
