Landeshauptstadt Hannover

About Landeshauptstadt Hannover

The city of Hanover originated in the Middle Ages as a small village settlement on a high, flood-free terrace of the Leine river (Honovere = the high bank). After World War II, the city recovered faster than expected. A modern city was built on the rubble, which has remained a green city to this day, a state capital with significant cultural institutions, good shopping opportunities, and nationally important events. Hanover became a trade fair city as early as 1947, and the EXPO took place here in 2000. Netiquette
