From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Celle (German pronunciation: [ˈtsɛlə]) is a district (Landkreis) in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Uelzen, Gifhorn, Hanover and Soltau-Fallingbostel.
[edit] Geography
The district is located in the southernmost parts of the Lüneburg Heath (Lüneburger Heide). The Aller River enters the district in the east, runs through the town of Celle and leaves the district in the northwest. It is joined by many tributaries coming from the south.
[edit] Coat of arms
 |
The lion and the heart were part of the arms of the Lüneburg subdivision of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg (also known as Brunswick-Celle, since Celle was its capital for some time). The only difference is the number of hearts (the original coat of arms included more than one heart).
