Introduction

Located in Hanover, this historic district is one of the oldest communities in the city, dating back to the 10th century. It was settled because it was far away from the flood-prone areas near the river. It is also the eternal historical center of Hanover. The area features churches, museums, and flea markets, making it a popular attraction for locals and tourists. If you're tired, you can take a rest here. Ballhof, Market Church, and Holzmarkt form a triangle area with many restaurants, bars, and cafes. If you're lucky enough to encounter various festivals held here, you will have an unforgettable and interesting experience. The area is famous for its cuisine and brewing arts. Cord Broyhan invented a light-colored beer, a top-fermented beer, which was introduced in Hanover in 1526 and became popular, making Hanover the most important alcohol brewing center. It is still one of the most famous specialties of Hanover.
