In Hanover, people meet "under the tail" of the Ernst-August statue's
horse in front of the Main Station. Another meeting point is the Kröpcke-clock,
a few minutes straight ahead. There you are in the middle of Hanover's
shopping district, with the usual range of department stores. Opposite,
there is more to see on Georgstrasse, above all the Opera House. Further on
you will find the memorial for the Jewish victims of National Socialism.
Just opposite, you will find Hanover's most expensive shopping boulevard
where jewellers, perfurmeries and expensive boutiques await potential
customers. In the evening the GOP and the New Theatre offer entertainment.
On Sunday mornings during summer, people meet in the Georgstraße for the
"Schorsenbummel", with music and open-air bars. This traditional "stroll"
dates back to King Georg II, "Schorse" is Hanover's nickname for George.
The
Niedersachsenstadion was completed in 1954 and has been home to Hannover 96
since 1959. Both Brazil and Holland played matches here during the 1974 FIFA
World Cup |
