----Hohne is a little town in Germany, to the north of Braunschweig, about 25km north west of Celle.

Located north of Celle is the NATO training area "Schießplatz Bergen-Hohne". It stations Hohne Garrison, a large British military garrison (7th Armoured Brigade - The Desert Rats) which is part of the British Forces Germany. The base was considered of great strategic importance during the Cold War, but still houses a large number of British troops. Hohne also houses Gloucester Secondary School and Montgomery Primary School (both BFES schools for children of personnel stationed at the garrison and elsewhere in Germany). Not far from this base you find the village Belsen as well as the former concentration camp and now monument Bergen-Belsen.
