Where to stay in Kirchrode
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Kirchrode sells space rather than centrality. A room near the Tiergarten Hannover buys morning walks under trees, at the cost of a journey each time the centre of Hannover is wanted. The Bünteweg side sits closer to the district's own streets.
Choose the park side if you want the quiet.

About Kirchrode
What are the main landmarks in Kirchrode?
Green ground comes first. The Tiergarten Hannover sets an expanse of parkland against the district's houses, and it is the one landmark in Kirchrode that turns up on a city map without anyone looking for it. Museums follow, three of them.
The Blindenmuseum, the Museum Walter Reinhardt, and the Museum for textile arts sit inside the same district, and the Hannah-Kapelle adds a chapel to the list. Zu den heiligen Engeln stands among them.
What is the history of Kirchrode?
The name begins with a church. Kirchrode carries the German word for church at its front, and the record bears that out with three separate dedications standing inside one district rather than a single parish church alone. St. Jakobi carries the district's own name in its title.
St. Maria Angelica and Zu den heiligen Engeln complete the set, and a grave monument on Bünteweg remembers Alfred Haupt.
Where is Kirchrode?
Kirchrode belongs to Hannover, a district where the streets around Bünteweg run out toward the trees of the Tiergarten Hannover.
