Ringelheim (1,951 inhabitants) is the sixth biggest suburb of Salzgitter in Lower Saxony, Germany. Located at the very far south-western end of the city, the most important station of the city is here, because the railway lines Hannover - Hildesheim - Salzgitter-Ringelheim - Goslar - Halle (Saale) and Braunschweig - Salzgitter-Ringelheim - Kreiensen cross here.

The most important attraction is Schloss Ringelheim, a former abbey founded in the tenth century, which was secularised in 1803. The large park ("Schlosspark") with a serpentine lake in the English landscape garden manner was laid out in 1847 for Count Adolf von der Decken. Close to it there are the sport grounds and the River Innerste. The baroque church of St. Abdon und Sennen built in 1694 is known for its precious organ and the crucifix from the workshop of Bishop Bernward of Hildesheim.

Ringelheim has some shopping facilities (supermarket, drug-store, retail), restaurants, banks, doctor, dentist, pharmacy, an alcohol detox clinic and an institution for handicapped persons.
