City Introduction

Hannover is the capital of the German federal state of Lower Saxony, and it is also a city of culture, trade and a regional economic center with many interesting sights. Many will know the old royal residence from the modern town center around Kröpcke with the famous Kröpcke clock and the large Schloss Herrenhauser with the world-famous baroque garden as well.

The old town in Hanover is full of idyllic streets and cozy squares. Historically, the district consisted mainly of old half-timbered houses, and these are today best seen around the streets Kramerstraße and Burgstraße, which are close to the city’s old town hall and the three old churches in the Altstadt district, Marktkirche Aegidienkirche and Kreuzkirche.

In the center you can e.g. also see the squares Ballhofplatz and Holzmarkt, where the Leibnizhaus from 1499 stands. A short walk south of the Holzmarkt is the classicist Leineschloss, which was the residence of Hanover’s king. Today, the castle is the seat of the Landtag of Lower Saxony. In the area you can also see Hanover’s new town hall from the beginning of the 20th century. The town hall stands like a castle, and from the top there is a fine view of the city.

On a trip around the city, you should also pass by Hanover’s opera house, and you can also enjoy the culture at some of the city’s exciting museums. At the Sprengel Museum you can see works by e.g. Emil Nolde and Paul Klee, and along the river Leine you can see the city’s famous Nana figures, leading to the Skulpturenmeile. The city’s historical museum is the place to learn more about the history of the city and the state.

Braunschweig, Germany

Braunschweig

Braunschweig is a city in the German state of Lower Saxony, and it is beautifully situated on the river Oker in the area north of the Harz mountain range. The city is known from the 11th century, and over the centuries it has been an important capital in various state formations. Braunschweig was also a member of the Hanseatic League, and this contributed to the city’s development towards the present day and to the sights you can see today.

Before the Second World War, Braunschweig was characterized by the many half-timbered houses, but the majority of these and other buildings in the center were unfortunately destroyed in 1944. Fortunately, parts of the old urban environment have been preserved, so that you can feel both the old and the modern Braunschweig during a visit to the city, where you can explore many cozy streets and squares in the center.

Bielefeld

Bielefeld is a city in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, located in the area around the Teutoburg Forest, where the Battle of Varus between Germans and Romans was possibly fought year 9. Bielefeld was founded in 1214 and grew rapidly in the following centuries, becoming the largest city in the local county. During industrialization, Bielefeld became a major center for the textile industry, but there was also other production in the city.

Today you can see Bielefeld’s cozy city center in the streets around the square of Alter Markt. In the square you can see the Theater am Alten Markt, which stands on the site of Bielefeld’s town hall until 1904. This year the town hall moved to a new building in the Weser renaissance style, which can still be seen in Niederwall street. Next to the 1904 town hall you can see Bielefeld’s beautiful opera house, which is also home to the city’s philharmonic orchestra.
