Gottingen: Ausländerbehörde der Stadt Göttingen - Genesis 1968 - Hiroshimaplatz - Familienzentren im Landkreis Göttingen
Göttingen straddles the River Leine in Lower Saxony, and this valley position helped it develop from a trading town into a compact university city. Hiroshimaplatz belongs to the central civic district, where municipal services including the Ausländerbehörde stand among streets, mature trees and modern public buildings. The University of Göttingen, founded in 1737, defines much of the city’s character; Carl Friedrich Gauss worked here for most of his career. Göttingen is also known for the Gänseliesel fountain, a symbol of its university traditions. The centre combines timber-framed houses with later institutional architecture, reflecting the city’s growth across different periods. Family centres across Landkreis Göttingen underline its wider role as a service hub for the surrounding area.

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.
