Seelze is a city with about 34,400 inhabitants and borders directly on the north-west of Hanover. Today's passenger station has existed in its present form since 1984. It has two island platforms, each with two platform tracks, which are served by the S-Bahn every half hour. The Seelze shunting station is located directly south of the passenger station. It was built between 1906 and 1909 as part of the construction of the freight bypass and is now one of the five largest marshalling yards in Germany. The marshalling yard is a total of 5.5 km long and consists of 135 km of tracks and 510 points, which are controlled by seven signal boxes.
