Ten colorfully decorated power distribution boxes belonging to Heidjers Stadtwerke are located throughout Schneverdingen's center. They feature motifs from the Cittaslow movement. Orange snails with a colorful skyline are depicted. Cittaslow – an international movement to which Schneverdingen has been a member since 2017. The artist Andreas Litzba from Buchholz sprayed the boxes.

This memorial, commemorating the 62 concentration camp victims who died on the Heidebahn railway line, was inaugurated on March 31, 2019. The concrete cube with its wooden enclosure stands directly next to the tracks at the train station. The cube symbolizes a railway carriage.

Delicious ice cream and very good value for money, so it's worth waiting in line for a while. The selection is also good.
