Tips from the Community
Noticed today that the cycle path is already showing its first damage, with cracks along the roadway in places. Some have already been filled with bitumen. But damage after only 14 months? And this is supposed to become the cycle route from Lehrte to Hannover?

Unfortunately, apart from Saturday, there is neither anything to try nor to buy here... Even the delicious smell of freshly roasted coffee was 'pressed away' by a neighbor. Now it's roasted in the Hülptingsen industrial area...

In the heart of Kolshorn, on the village square at Bürgermeister-Fuge-Straße, stands a tower with a clock at its top. How the words 'clock' and 'tower' came to be swapped in the name of this landmark can be found here: www.stadtmarketing-lehrte.de/Sehensw%C3%BCrdigkeiten/75

The Evangelical Lutheran St. Peter's Church on Dörriesplatz was built between 1899 and 1902. It was constructed using large sandstone blocks. Romanesque elements are combined with Gothic pointed-arch windows. The church belongs to the St. Peter and St. Nicodemus parish and is the seat of the Hanover-Southeast superintendency.

The fire station with its hose tower, built in 1949, stands in the village square. Next to it is a bell tower with a clock, erected in 1998. The bell tower had been dismantled from the former schoolhouse, which is now privately owned. After restoration, the tower was placed in the village square.
