Salzgitter-Ringelheim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salzgitter-Ringelheim (1,951 inhabitants) is the sixth biggest suburb of Salzgitter in Lower Saxony, Germany. Located at the very far south-western end of the city's area, the most important station of the city is here, because the railway lines Hannover - Hildesheim - Salzgitter-Ringelheim - Goslar - Halle (Saale) and Braunschweig - Salzgitter-Ringelheim - Kreiensen cross here. The most important attraction is the Ringelheim Castle, a former abbey built in the 10th century, which was secularised in 1803. The baroque church St. Abdon und Sennen built in 1694 is known for its precious organ and the crucifix from Bishop Bernward of Hildesheim's workshop. There is a large Castle-park (Schlosspark) with a ramified lake. Count Adolf von der Decken started the park in 1847. Close to it there are the sport grounds and the River Innerste. Salzgitter-Ringelheim has some shopping facilities (supermarket, drug-store, retail), gastronomy, banks, doctor, dentist, pharmacy, an alcohol detox clinic and an institution for handicapped persons.
