The official name of this place - Residenzstadt Celle.
It's one of few German cities that survived after the Red Army. During the war only the main line was bombed here.
The old half-timbered center of the city is perfectly preserved and still attracts thousands of tourists.
All half-timbered houses are protected by the state. You may trace how

What tendencies were distinctive for various times.

The mailbox was found near the Bomann Museum that keeps artworks of a famous artist Eberhard Schlotter and numerous collections related to the history of the city.

coins.
