A Day in Hanover "A Day in Hanover" Realizzata per : Cityseeker 21 Posizioni indicati Market Church of Sts. George and James "Center of Urban Expansion" Marktkirche, a classic example of Neo-Gothic architecture, was built in Hanover's central marketplace for the working people of the region. It stood tall throughout the centuries, and its style was often mimicked. When the original was leveled as a result of a series of World War II by Clemensfranz bombing raids, it was rebuilt exactly as it had been before. Celebrated artist Gerhard Marcks, well-known for his war-memorial work all over Germany, contributed to the rebuilt Marktkirche's new facade. +49 511 36 4370 marktkirche-hannover.de/ Hanns-Lilje-Platz 2, Hannover Brauhaus Ernst August "Beer And Fun" This brewery is known for the naturally cloudy beer Hansch that is made using organically grown grain.
