Lively, livable, innovative: That is how the county Peine places itself as an attractive business location between the population centers of Hanover and Braunschweig. Tradition and innovation, home and economic cosmopolitanism form a harmonious coexistence at that place. The county Peine has arisen in the wake of the Prussian administrative reform of 1885. The present shape was formed in 1972. After the community reform and a fusion in the recent past, now the united communities Hohenhameln, Edemissen, Ilsede Lengede, the city Peine, Vechelde and Wendeburg form the county Peine.

If you look around in the district you will mainly see a lot of nature. In the north heath dominates the face of the region while the south is covered in fertile farmland.
