Uelzen: Hundertwasser Station, Lueneburger Heide Gateway, and the Hanseatic Market Town on the Ilmenau
Uelzen has a population around 35,000 and lies on the Ilmenau river in Niedersachsen, on the eastern edge of the Lueneburger Heide. The Hundertwasser-Bahnhof, redesigned by the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser before his death, is the town's most recognisable landmark, with colourful facades, golden domes, and organic forms transforming an otherwise conventional railway station.
Uelzen was a Hanseatic League member, and some traces of the mercantile past survive. The St. Marien Kirche has medieval origins. The town functions as a gateway to the Lueneburger Heide nature park. The Elbe-Seitenkanal passes east of town. Hamburg is about an hour by regional train. Lueneburg is about 30 minutes north. Adult companionship follows Lower Saxon regulations.
