Place:Celle, Niedersachsen, Germany at WeRelate

WeRelate is a genealogy wiki, therefore place pages and their subordinate pages are structured in such a way as to be meaningful and helpful to genealogists. This is accomplished by defining a place as a geographic area with global coordinates at an approximate center and adding the historical context as desired.

WeRelate follows standard genealogical practice and FHL convention for European places which is to organize them based on their location in the year 1900. (See Place talk:Germany for discussion about this policy.)

In 1900, Celle, Niedersachsen, Germany did not exist - but it does today - and therefore it is desirable to be able to provide historical context for this present day location and to be able to match historical events to this location if applicable.

This Celle is a Landkreis (Rural District) created in the modern state of Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony), Germany in 1946. The current capital is the town of Celle.

Therefore this page is titled Place:Celle, Niedersachsen, Germany.
