About Linden
Where to stay in Linden
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Four quarters, one borough. Beds in Linden are spread across Linden-Mitte, Linden-Nord, Linden-Süd and Limmer rather than gathered into a single hotel street, so the ride into the Hanover city centre matters more than the exact address. Hanover keeps the larger choice.
Visitors who want a full range of hotels book in the centre of the Lower Saxony capital and come out for the Kindermuseum Zinnober, the Buchdruck-Museum Hannover and the Egestorff memorial.
About Linden
What are the main landmarks in Linden?
Museums and memorials share the list. The Kindermuseum Zinnober works with children, the Buchdruck-Museum Hannover keeps the printing trade, and the former Gerhard-Uhlhorn-Church has passed out of church use while the Bethlehemkirche Hannover still stands. Two memorials name people.
The Egestorff memorial and the Gedenkplatte für Wilhelm Bluhm mark individuals rather than events, and the Ortsfeuerwehr Linden of the Freiwillige Feuerwehr Hannover puts the borough's own fire station on the same record.
What is the history of Linden?
The date is 1920. Linden joined Hanover in that year, and the tenth borough of the Lower Saxony capital now gathers Linden-Mitte, Linden-Nord, Linden-Süd and Limmer under one name. Hannah Arendt was born here.
That birth ties Linden-Limmer to a name known far beyond Hanover, while the Egestorff memorial and the Gedenkplatte für Wilhelm Bluhm keep two more names in public view on Linden ground.
Where is Linden?
Four named quarters make up the borough: Linden-Mitte, Linden-Nord, Linden-Süd and Limmer, all of them inside the city limits of Hanover in Lower Saxony.
