History

The village was established in 1680 under Duke George William of Brunswick-Lüneburg. The older "Altenhäusen" was incorporated along with Neuenhäusen in 1869 into the town of Celle. Neuenhäusen borders on the River Aller in the north, the River Fuhse in the east, the Wilhelm-Heinichen Ring road in the south and the railway facilities of the Hamburg-Hanover main line to the west.

Politics

Neuenhäusen council represents the interests of the suburb to the town council and consists of nine councillors. The chair is Dr. Jörg Rodenwaldt since 2013.
