Anyone drawn to Hi-Score or the Borgentrick tower is already close.
About Südstadt
What are the main landmarks in Südstadt?
The mix here is broad. Südstadt lists the Sprengel Museum, the Landesmuseum Hannover, the August Kestner Museum and the Hanover Theatre Museum alongside parish buildings such as the Bugenhagenkirche, the Pauluskirche and the Nazarethkirche. Commemoration runs through the rest: the Mahnmal gegen Kolonialismus, the Bödeker memorial and The Göttingen Seven.
Hi-Score and the Borgentrick tower round it off.
What is the history of Südstadt?
The past that Südstadt keeps on view is largely commemorative: the Ehrenfriedhof am Maschsee-Nordufer, the Julius-Trip-Denkmal, the Schrader memorial and the Heinrich Marschner memorial all stand within the district. No charter year is filed. The Mahnmal gegen Kolonialismus and The Göttingen Seven name harder subjects.
Church fabric carries the older thread, from the Aegidienkirche and the Market Church to the Bugenhagenkirche, and Hannover files nothing earlier for this ground.
Where is Südstadt?
Südstadt takes in built-up ground within Hannover, with the Leineinsel Klein-Venedig and Flusswärts 2 on its listing.
