Literat(o)ur: Damals war’s – eine literarische Reise durch Peine

  • Photo walk
  • Guided tour
  • Guided historical tour
  • City walking tour
Take a moment to relax and enjoy the city—take a seat instead of walking through the streets—because here, the focus is on listening. 

Exciting, surprising, and often little-known stories about notable figures from Peine, historical events, and literary sources unfold word by word. 

This special “Literat(o)ur” event takes place at the Schwan—the city’s oldest building and a place that exudes history itself. There is hardly a more fitting setting to immerse yourself in times gone by
and experience Peine from a new, narrative perspective. Sometimes lighthearted, sometimes contemplative, but always atmospheric, a vivid picture of the city emerges that invites you to pause and reflect.

Directions & Parking facilities

Peine, a regional center in southeastern Lower Saxony located between Hanover and Braunschweig, is well connected to the A2 via two highway interchanges. The Hanover-East interchange, which serves the north-south corridor, is just 25 km to the west. Just a leisurely 30-minute drive from Hanover and about a three-hour train ride from Hamburg or Berlin, Peine invites you to explore.
Getting there from various directions is just as easy: from the west via the A2 or B65, from the north via the B444, from the south via the B444, and from the east via the A2 or B65.
You can easily reach Peine by train via Braunschweig or Hanover. The train station is centrally located, just a three-minute walk from the historic old town; it is accessible to people with disabilities and well-connected to long-distance rail routes.
