Fallersleben is the old market town that was incorporated into Wolfsburg in 1972 and now forms its westernmost district. Unlike the rest of the city it has a recognisable historic centre — half-timbered houses, a long market square, a sixteenth-century church — that survives more or less intact from before the Volkswagen era.
The Schloss Fallersleben at the western end of the town centre is a Renaissance Schloss now housing the Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben Museum. The town is a fifteen-minute train ride west from Wolfsburg Hauptbahnhof and makes a useful, low-key half-day from the main attractions.
