The city on the Leine, shaped by its tumultuous history - whose rulers also sat on the English throne - is one of the most interesting cities in Germany due to its reputation as the largest trade fair city in the world. Hanover offers many facets and has never lost its charm despite its international standing. Wolfgang Steinweg invites you to a city stroll that touches on the most important sights of Hanover, from the main train station to the medieval Market Church. He describes not only the provocative Hanover with its street art but also the university city. Excursions to the Maschsee, the beautiful city forest Eilenriede, and the baroque gardens of Herrenhausen complete the picture of a historically rich city. The excellent photos by Jörg Axel Fischer showcase the various faces of this Lower Saxony metropolis.
