Germany: Hanover - Hannover

Hanover or Hannover is situated on the river Leine. It is the capital of the federal state of Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) in Germany. The city is a major center of northern Germany.

A highlight is the New City Hall or New Town Hall which was opened on July 20, 1913, after having been under construction for 12 years. It is a magnificent, castle-like building of the era of William II in eclectic style at the southern edge of the inner city (outside of the historic city center of Hanover). The building is embedded in the 10 hectare Maschpark. The Old City Hall is no longer used as the main seat of administration, but houses businesses and the registry office.
The dome of the New City Hall, with its observation platform, is nearly 100 m high. The dome's elevator is unique in Europe, with its arched course (parabolic, following the shape of the dome).

The Marktkirche ('The Church on the Marketplace' or Market Church) St. Georg and St. Jakobus ('St. George and St. James') is the main Lutheran church in Hanover. It was built in the 14th century and together with the nearby Old Town Hall, is considered the southernmost exemplar of the 'North German brick gothic' (Norddeutsche Backsteingotik) architectural style.

I was there this past May and loved it most of all the four Nord Deutschland cities I visited. I've heard some Germans from different areas say that it's boring, but I didn't think so at all. Thanks for your uploads, and please check out my travel vids of Hannover and Nord Deutschland! Tschuss!

Hannoveraner wissen was sie an ihrer Stadt haben und welch wunderschönen Ecken und Stadtteile sie hat.

Hier geboren und werde auch hier sterben irgendwann. :)
