    BRISTOL-HANNOVER COUNCIL HEUTE www.Bristolhannovercouncil.org.uk SPRING 2013 TIME TO CELEBRATE! Bristol-Hannover Council rejoices in the prospect of an air-link between Bristol and Hannover, and congratulates BMI on their initiative. Bristol-Hannover Council was founded in 1947. Since then many thousands of Bristolians have travelled to Hannover, a city then of ruins, of necessity by circuitous routes and using different forms of transport. There they have always been enthusiastically welcomed, and in the same way many thousands of Hannoverians have visited Bristol. Since the early days there have been regular exchanges of schoolchildren, students, trades unionists, choirs, theatre groups, sporting groups, youth and church groups. These continue to flourish. Without a direct air link they have all taken place with inconvenient and not easy travel arrangements and at considerable cost. The facility of a direct air-link will be of the greatest convenience to those many English and German groups and to the many families and individuals in the West Country who enjoy visiting Hannover and its surrounding area of great beauty and interest, and to those from Lower Saxony, the second largest German state, for whom the West Country is a particular attraction. It is particularly fitting that we in Bristol have a direct link with Hannover, from which our Royal Family came in 1714 in the person of King George I, when the two countries were united under the same crown with their successors in the Personal Union, something which is still today highly valued and celebrated in Hannover. Bristol-Hannover Council believes that the appointment of a voluntary Bristol-Hannover tourist officer would be highly advantageous, to inform the tourist officers in Bristol and Hannover of the new air-link and its many benefits, and to encourage the promotion of new tourist and commercial links between the two cities, particularly supporting the many international Trade Fairs which are held in Hannover.

Challenges of Urban and Rural Transformation Dear ISSRM Participants: On behalf of IASNR and the local organizing team from Leibniz University Hannover (LUH), we would like to extend a warm welcome to you! We have tried to deliver an exciting scientific program at the always dynamic interface of natural resources and society along with social events that enable you to enjoy some of the sights of Hannover and Northern Germany. Although traditionally strong in engineering, LUH has had a remarkable track record in the field of natural resource management and society. Eduard Pestel, who would have celebrared his 100th birthday just the week prior to the ISSRM conference, was not only one of the founders of the Club of Rome, but also a professor at this university. In addition, LUH is considered the birthplace of modern landscape planning and nature conservation concepts after 1945, influencing research in the field that decades later was named „ecosystem services.“ The City of Hannover with its manyfold approaches to become one of the world‘s most sustainable cities provides a great backdrop for all of this.

Dear Readers, Dear Visitors following in the footsteps of the Guelphs, For centuries, the history of the former Kingdom of Hanover and of the present-day State of Lower Saxony was closely intertwined with the story of the Electors and Kings of Hanover. When George Louis, Elector of Hanover, ascended the British throne as King George I in 1714, this marked the beginning of the 123-year reign of the House of Guelph over Great Britain, where it was known as the House of Hanover. As a result, the Guelphs, the oldest royal dynasty in Europe, left a decisive imprint on European, American and world history. Numerous testimonies to the days when the region was ruled by the House of Guelph are still to be found in and around Hanover today.

    THE HARDY PLANT SOCIETY OF OREGON GARDEN TOURS PAST AS PROLOGUE: Gardens of Berlin, Potsdam & Surrounding Regions September 2—14, 2019 Pfaueninsel (Peacock Island) in the Havel River, Berlin Germany’s tumultuous and often tragic history is on display nowhere better than in its capital city. War, division and reunification have altered the city enormously. Renowned as a center of education, culture, political ferment, and as a laboratory for urbanism, Berlin and its surrounding areas also possess a proud gardening tradition. Expansive Prussian palaces and gardens, some of Europe’s earliest public parks, and the nurseries of pioneering horticulturalists all bear witness to this heritage. The region is now at the forefront of environmentally sensitive and sustainable gardening movements. This 13‐day, 12‐night tour takes tour members on a fascinating journey through a dynamic region, visiting public parks, private gardens and other beautiful and engrossing gardening and horticultural sites. You’ll also visit landmarks stretching from the Reformation through to the 21st Century. Everywhere, you’ll meet locals whose passion for gardening transcends the challenges and changes they have experienced. Escorted by Nancy Goldman and Jim Rondone TOUR ITINERARY & HIGHLIGHTS Monday, September 2, 2019 Arrive at our hotel in Berlin’s historic Mitte district before joining fellow tour members for a welcome dinner. Dinner included. Check in at Amano Grand Central Hotel and stay the night in Berlin.

  • Germany: Fairy Tale Route, Tailormade by Car 17/01/2021 1
    Germany: Fairy Tale Route, tailor­made by car Relive your childhood and follow the footsteps of the Brothers Grimm. Discover the places that inspired world­famous tales such as Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel and Snow White The Fairy Tale Tour covers the main places that inspired the Grimm Brothers to write their stories. It takes in 600 kilometres and more than seventy sights related to Grimm Brothers' tales, which have been dreamt by practically every child in the world. You'll see the dwellings of each of Snow White's dwarfs, the castles of Snow White, Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty, and even the roads where Little Red Riding Hood walked and the Pied Piper of Hamelin played his flute. This isn't only a perfect tour for children, but it will also take you back to your childhood without having to build an expensive time machine. At some points, you'll be welcomed by a character from a Grimm Brothers tale and guided through the tours, making you feel like a true protagonist of each story. You'll visit cities such as Bremen, Hamelin, Trendelburg, Höxter and Polle, among others. But there are many beautiful places where these characters were created. We'll also explore the life of the writers who gave life to these characters. From their hometown, Hanau, passing through Steinau, the city where they spent their childhood. You'll discover how they lived and how they began to investigate fables in Marburg and write them in Kassel. The Bellevue Palace in Kassel is where some the original Brothers Grimms tales were created, earning it the accolade of UNESCO World Heritage Site.
