Salzgitter - To many people this name means a leading industrial area in Lower Saxony. And so it is. But that is only half the story and does not do justice to what this lively and lovable town, spread over a wide area, is really like.

As Château Salder proves, although it was not founded till 1942 Salzgitter is not a test-tube town. It is part of an interesting cultural and historical region between the Harz Mountains and the Lüneburg Heath.
