Half-timber, market streets, ginnels, chapels and contemporary building form the city centre.

Attraction focus is the fairytale like pretty Hundertwasser railway station.

Wine market, Christmas magic, city festival and palace weeks are part of the Uelzener life quality.

In the historical city centre one reaches the enormous St.-Marien-church.

The Gothic construction houses sacral art treasures, the largest organ of the Lüneburger Heide and the town's landmark the 'golden ship'.

Adjacent to the church one meets the legendary lucky charm. Whoever rubs the piece of gold, which is in the hands of the bronze 'Uhlenköpers' will always have enough money in their pockets, so one says in Uelzen.

The piece is already very shiny from countless touches.
