'''Knesebeck''' is a village in [[Gifhorn (district)]] ([[Lower-Saxony]]). It is home to an important industry (Butting Gmbh) in the region and offers at the same time opportunities to socialize. Knesebeck promotes its traditions such as its music, sports clubs, cultural events and ecclesiastic life. Military music is a well-established part of the social life - and well known as an integrating factor for literally all layers of the society, albeit most of the younger generation leave for better opportunities in the cities. People in Knesebeck are well known for their open and sociable character and for their hospitality, but tend to be very insular to the way of life, due to the geographic isolation of the town from any major city.
