This article refers to the German city. For other uses, see Hanover (disambiguation)

Hanover (German: Hannover ^*), on the river Leine, is the capital of the federal state of Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen), Germany. It also was the capital of the administrative area Hanover region until Lower Saxony's regions were disbanded at the beginning of 2005. It is, however, still part of the Region Hannover, which is a municipal body made up from the former district and city of Hanover.

History

---

The town was founded in medieval times on the bank of the river Leine (the original name Honovere may be translated as "high bank", though it is debated). It was a small village of ferrymen and fishermen, which became a comparatively large town in the 13th century. In the 14th century the main churches of Hanover were built, as well as a city wall with three town gates to secure the city.
