About Calenberger Neustadt
Where to stay in Calenberger Neustadt
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The Basilica St. Clemens and the Sprengel Museum sit on opposite ends of the same short walk, and that stretch is what a bed in Calenberger Neustadt buys. Short walks connect all of it. Guests who want the Landesmuseum Hannover, the Kestnergesellschaft or the August Kestner Museum on foot will find the district works for them, and the Leineinsel Klein-Venedig makes the evening return more interesting than the museum list suggests.
Twenty-five sites carry the district.
About Calenberger Neustadt
What are the main landmarks in Calenberger Neustadt?
Twenty-five entries is a lot for one district. Churches lead the count: the Market Church, the Aegidienkirche, the Gartenkirche St. Marien, the Christuskirche, the Erlöserkirche and the Church of the Holy Cross all appear, along with the Neustädter Hof- und Stadtkirche St. Johannis and the Basilica St. Clemens. Museums follow close behind.
The Sprengel Museum, the Landesmuseum Hannover, the August Kestner Museum, the Hanover Historical Museum and the Feuerwehrmuseum Hannover carry the collections, while the Kestnergesellschaft and the Sculpture Mile handle art outside a building.
What is the history of Calenberger Neustadt?
Burg Lauenrode carries a castle name with no year attached. What the register offers instead of a chronology is a set of markers, each standing for something the district decided to keep: a vault, a monument, a cemetery and a church that is named in the file as former. The Hinübersches Erbgewölbe is the vault.
The Julius-Trip-Denkmal is the monument, the Ehrenfriedhof am Maschsee-Nordufer the cemetery, and the former Gerhard-Uhlhorn-Church the building the file records under that name.
Where is Calenberger Neustadt?
The Leineinsel Klein-Venedig puts an island in Calenberger Neustadt, and the Ehrenfriedhof am Maschsee-Nordufer ties the district to the Maschsee shore.
