Where to stay in Waldheim
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
The memorials outnumber the hotels. Waldheim reaches the record as a small Stadtteil of the Stadtbezirk Döhren-Wülfel, roughly five kilometres out from the Hannover centre, and its four listed sites are all monuments rather than places to sleep. Hannover holds the rooms.
The Stadtfriedhof Seelhorst carries one of the four.

About Waldheim
What are the main landmarks in Waldheim?
Four entries, all commemorative. The Janusz Korczak Monument stands among them, and so does the Memorial for infants and young children, while the Hiroshima-Hain holds its remembrance as a grove and the Gedenkstele auf dem Stadtfriedhof Seelhorst sets it in stone. No church appears on the list.
No museum either.
What is the history of Waldheim?
The founding year is the one thing Waldheim's record does not supply. Waldheim enters the register as part of the Stadtbezirk Döhren-Wülfel, a Stadtteil whose entire named history sits on four memorials rather than on a market square, a castle or a dated charter. The Stadtfriedhof Seelhorst holds one of them.
