Hanover: an economic hub in the heart of Europe

Located in northern Germany, on the banks of the Leine River, Hanover is the capital and largest city in the federal state of Lower Saxony. It is also the third largest city in northern Germany, after Hamburg and Bremen.

Since it is located on the banks of the Leine, Hanover was first a village of fishermen and ferrymen. At the end of the Middle Ages, the small city rapidly developed its trade activity and became a market town.

The city was occupied twice by the French; during the Seven Year War in the mid-18th century, and during the Napoleon Wars in the early 19th century.

After being annexed, Hanover became an independent kingdom until becoming a province of Prussia in 1866. When the German empire was founded, the city had a period of strong development thanks to its industrial expansion. During the Second World War, a large part of the city centre was destroyed by ally bombings. Hanover was quickly rebuilt and today, it is considered as one of the most modern cities in Germany.
