Lohheide Area

Lohheide is an administrative area in Lower Saxony, Germany, associated with a large military training region. It contains training grounds and facilities and is characterised by low civilian population and restricted zones related to military use.

The locality’s land use is dominated by defence training and support infrastructure rather than civilian development. Public access is limited in many parts of the area for safety during exercises and due to military control.

Lohheide lies in the north of Lower Saxony and is part of the wider Celle district area containing training grounds used by German and allied forces. It is not a typical tourist destination and its landscape is shaped by the presence of the training range.
