Burgdorf: Hannover's Eastern Neighbour, Spargeldorf Heritage, and the Quiet Geest Town at the Aue River
Burgdorf has roughly 30,900 residents and lies east of Hannover in Niedersachsen. Like several towns on the sandy Geest soils east of Hannover, asparagus farming is part of the local identity, earning the nickname Spargeldorf in earlier decades. The Schloss Burgdorf, a moated castle with medieval origins, anchors the small old town.
Hannover is about 25 kilometres west by S-Bahn and road. Lehrte and Uetze are neighbouring communities. Celle is roughly 30 kilometres to the north. The Burgdorfer Aue, a small river, flows through the southern part of town. The landscape is flat, typical of the Hannover-Braunschweig corridor. Peine lies to the southeast.
