About Blumlage
Where to stay in Blumlage
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
The Altstadt is the obvious base. Blumlage holds Celle's museums and its palace inside four square kilometres, so a room here puts the Bomann-Museum, the Kunstmuseum Celle and the Celle Palace within the same walk as the old-town streets. Everything worth walking to is here.
Guests who put St. Georg, the Alten Rathaus and the Celler Schützenmuseum on one day's list gain most from staying inside Blumlage/Altstadt rather than out in the wider town.
About Blumlage
What are the main landmarks in Blumlage?
The list here runs long. Blumlage carries the Bomann-Museum, the Kunstmuseum Celle and the Residence Museum in the Celle Palace, with the Celler Garnison-Museum, the Otto-Haesler-Museum and the Celler Schützenmuseum extending the same run of collections. Monuments and churches follow.
St Ludwig's Church, St. Georg and the Evangelisch-reformierte Kirche stand among them, while the Caroline-Mathilde-Denkmal, the Langensalza-Denkmal and the Albrecht Thaer memorial are the monuments the register names.
What is the history of Blumlage?
The name says Altstadt. Blumlage/Altstadt is the form the record uses, and the district's past is written in what stands there: the Celle Palace with its Residence Museum, the Alten Rathaus, and the Caroline-Mathilde-Denkmal with the Ernest I memorial. Museums took over the telling.
The Bomann-Museum, the Otto-Haesler-Museum and the Celler Garnison-Museum hold the district's account of itself, while the Langensalza-Denkmal and the Albrecht Thaer memorial stand for the names Celle chose to keep.
