Meitze covers about 11 square kilometres, including areas used for agriculture and forestry. General informationThe village is mainly noted for the cobbled high street and a lot of old timber-framed houses in the centre. In the North, there is a wind farm with twelve wind turbines. HistoryMeitze arose at the crossing point of two important trade routes, the "Hessenweg" and the "Bremerweg". On this intersection, Meitze developed as a well-known marketplace.
On 29 April 1944, ten American airmen were killed when their Consolidated B-24 Liberator aircraft crashed near Meitze. The crew had been ordered to carry out a bombing mission over the German capital of Berlin, according to the U.S. military. Their remains were identified in 2011 and buried at Arlington National Cemetery.[1] InfrastructureAbout one kilometer (0.6 miles) away from Meitze passes the A7. Meitze is directly connected with Mellendorf and Elze/Bennemühlen by the bus route 697. Until 1967 Meitze also had an own elementary school, but it was closed because of a lack of students.
