Economy of Luneburg


JuteVilla
In previous years L�neburg has increasingly developed into a venue for tourists from all over the world. Nevertheless medium-sized and small businesses still play a major role in L�neburg's economy. The University of L�neburg has also generated changes which, together with its student population, have stimulated the economy of the region.

Many small and medium-sized businesses are based in L�neburg. Those worth mentioning include: the fashion company Roy Robson (the knitware firm Lucia, once the biggest employer in the town went bankrupt in 2008), DeVauGe Gesundkostwerk one of the largest German manufacturers of vegetarian food and the dairy, which today is part of Hochwald Nahrungsmittel-Werke and makes products (e. g. yoghurt) under the L�nebest label. In the industrial field there are large local firms like the car interior manufacturers, Johnson Controls, H. B. Fuller, Impreglon and the electronics company of Sieb & Meyer. Also based in L�neburg is the von Stern'schen Druckerei, founded in 1614, the oldest printing firm still in family ownership in the world. Werum Software and Systems AG is the largest IT firm based in the town.

The town nursery has created a spa park for tourists and visitors with a 'graduation works', ponds, numerous herbaceous borders and herb gardens which is immediately next to the health spa centre (Kurzentrum). The spa centre has wave pools, salt baths, wellness and sauna facilities, etc. (Salztherme L�neburg); in addition there is a brine therapy centre which is used for those with skin and respiratory problems. L�neburg is not an official health spa like e. g. the neighbouring town of Bad Bevensen, but does have special medicinal resources like, for example, L�neburg brine (containing about 26% salt), which is used especially to relieve those suffering from psoriasis. In addition, since 1978, the headquarters of the conference hotel group Seminaris has been based here. Amongst firms in the technology and service
