Wietzenbruch is a suburb in the southwest of the Lower Saxon town of Celle, which was named after the fen wood (Bruchwald) bisected by the river Wietze.

Since 1974, Wietzenbruch has belonged entirely to the town of Celle (previously only part of it had been incorporated) and has become a popular housing development area.

[citation needed] The Wietzenbruch is also a description for the adjacent bog-like area in the direction of Großburgwedel.

The track is also known as the Hare Railway (Hasenbahn) in the common parlance; a reference to its long construction time (1913–1938).

This event is commemorated by the Airbridge Memorial at the entrance to the site initiated in 1985 by the then Celle town councillor, Karl Duffner, and opened in 1988.
