Sülze is a village in the local borough of Bergen located in the northern part of Celle district on the Lüneburg Heath in North Germany.
[2] Note the significant jump in population size after the Second World War, mainly due to the influx of refugees.
In registers from the years 1381 and 1382 details of local private houses (Kötnerhöfe) were recorded, as well as the raising of a 'salt pan' tax (Pfannenzins).
Because Sülze was primarily dependent economically on the saltworks and agriculture only played a secondary role, it was only allocated just under 800 hectares (2,000 acres).
Farms to which the so-called manorial rights applied had been hitherto obliged to give numerous services and make frequent payments to the manor.
Since the 14th century Bergen was recorded as having a vogtei's office, the lowest level of administration and justice, which was presided over by a ducal vogt.
Matters of importance that only affected Sülze were discussed and decided by the Realgemeinde, i.e. the farm owners who had common land rights.
Until 1975 Sülze station was linked to Bergen and, later when the line was extended, to Hermannsburg and Celle on a narrow gauge (Kleinbahn) railway.
Buses on the Celle - Faßberg route operated by CeBus stop several times a day in Sülze and link the place to the surrounding villages.
