Hanover is a lot nicer than most people think. I have lived in Hanover the last 24 years, and it has never felt boring to me. Living in a particular city is quite often what you make it.
Awesome! I totally understand that many people do not see something special. But one goal I have is to spread my appreciation and the way I see things.
I can't believe that people think Hanover and Hamburg are boring cities like WTF they're amazing cities, I never get bored when I'm in these two cities.
This is amazing. As someone who lived 6 years in Hannover myself, i didn't know everything you said before. I went to elementary school in Vahrenwald, then i returned to study at the uni and lived in Linden-Süd. During my time at the university i almost never used the bus or tram, i always walked - through the Leinemasch and the Georgengarten. Beautiful.
It's nice that someone clears up the prejudice that Hanover is terrible. I am not from Hanover, but have lived here for a long time and I feel very comfortable . Thank you!!!
oh Yes... Der Turm was legendary indeed. Happy to see somebody sticking up for this highly underrated city. Yes, its not a party city like Berlin or Hamburg, but its full Culture and history
Thank you for a blast from the past. I studied in Hannover and lived in Linden and Südstadt from 1990 to 1998. I learned to appreciate the city after I moved away from there. ;)
Hannover is a beautiful city to live. Not to big, a lot of green, the Maschsee, Eilenriede and a lot of places to go to... but sadly, especialy a lot of small music clubs were closed over the time. But its really interesting to see my city from new eyes
In the 90s, born and living in Kassel, Hannover was my home city of Metal Concerts: Music Hall, Capitol, Eilenriedehalle, Flohzirkus (oder so)....I saw so many of the best bands at thst time
I like Hannover, too. This is a perfect example how hard it is to kill off a stereotype, even if it is obviously wrong. Nobody even knows anymore who started this meme, but everybody keeps repeating it. Humans are stupid! Signed Klendathu jr.
The Herrenhäuser Gärten are hosting the annual international fireworks competitions, where the best fireworks companies from different countries are showing off their best fireworks thru-out the summer weekend evenings. You'd better come early in the evening or late afternoon, otherwise it'll be too crowded.
"the walls need to be black though "....🤣🤣🤣🤣 I really enjoy your humor. And by the way, to compare the Eilenriede's size with central park and the wacken grounds really is somehow ingeniously 😁
the pub "das Trümchen" was closed due to withdrawl from the lease contract by the city of hannover, wich was done, because the Beginenturm started to show signs of losing structural integrity and was deemed dilapidated. restauration has been done, but not suficcient enough to reopen the tower back for public. the pub was quite nice, a medival style pub with 3 levels, each small and cosy, with some drinks, that are still legendary in the "dark scene" in hannover. (rostiger nagel) but visiting the bathroom or leave when you drank to much in the upper levels was a nightmare..... the pentagram on the marktkirche is a protection sign against fire ;) the eilenriede is the largest still existing medival city forest and the herrenhäuser gärten are the second largest barrok gardens in the world after versailles. also nice places are just on the other side of the road of the herrenhäuser gärten lies the berggarten, the former botanic garden of the royal summer palace. the hannover zoo is also quite nice after its rework
The Nanas are still there, I'm relieved. I used to visit family there, decades ago. The Nanas, the flea market at the river Leine, the historical museum, the pedestrian zone, the Maschsee and the Herrenhäuser Gärten were my favorites.
Oh indeed, Hannover really adopted Niki and apart from the fantastic grotto in the Große Garten she still personally oversaw, she made sure that all of her work was donated to Hannover when she died.
This generalization of "beautiful" and "good" cities as well as "ugly" and "bad" cities is annoying. Most cities have good and bad sides. The public perception often arises from reports in the media and many people express this as their own opinion without ever having been to these cities. And if they were there, then often only briefly and didn't even see most of them.
Before I moved away i lived on Sedanstr. Lister Meile, it is one of the most cultural and fancy parts of Hanover, you can go by foot within minutes to nearly everything and people are so friendly. I do miss it so much, especially since I am left alone in a City I didn´t grow up
Being able to walk everywhere by foot is a major plus to any city for me. I also like living in cities that don't have many hills, exactly because I like to walk everywhere
This thing with moving cities is very strange to me. I lived in some of the most beautiful cities but somehow I was never truly happy in these places. It's so hard to forget home sometimes. And the saddest thing: sometimes we move back to our hometown but it has changed, so it only exists in our memories, very strange feeling.
I am from Hamburg and have never been to Hannover as it was deemed: Nothing interesting to see there., Well, you proved that is certainly not true! Thanks very much for this short introduction!
Man what an amazing documentary about my home town Hannover ! We had to do some changes in our live and move to Hawai’i in 1998, not because people say “ nix is dover als Hannover” (not true) but, you know….anyways love your channel, keep going dude !
Hi Krautsalat, thank you for producing such an interesting, true' historic video of my birthplace 'Hannover' which I really enjoyed. You must have covered many of my favourite landmarks and It's been a real pleasure giving you a 'Like' Take care my friend. Victor. PS The last time I was in Hannover was in 1987 You have inspired me to go back for another visit!
I wanna know more about Fritz Haarmann. That would be an interesting story to cover. Also at the Schützenplatz are cool Car Shows / Markets like the Street Mag Show.
Thank you for this historical video (I never thought that I will see such a educational video on your channel). I always knew Hannover as the city where the people speak the most clear German, nothing more. It was never in a list of cities that are worth to visit, but your video showed me, that Hannover has much more than a clear German without accent (which isn't true, everyone from Hannover, I ever spoke wasn't able to say Kirche, going to church sounds always like going to cherry, Kirsche. Thank you, thumbs up and maybe I will visit Hannover in one of the next holidays.
Hahaha...first, Thank you! Second...right away you give an example of something i talked about in an earlier video. You said something that could be an insult but its really a nice compliment! I really want this channel to be just as much educational/Informational as entertaining. I hope you stick around as the channel grows, there are so many ideas brewing!!
And my dialogue in the video was either my 2nd or 3rd take. The first take I talked more about the certain political group and by name. My point was to take their credit away so it was much better to not even give them mention.
hi nice to See you again. nice video, but in 4.55 your in front of Stőcken Friedhof. maybe you can talk about it in your next Hannover video. it's a great spot with history.
Good eye. Yes, I have another video coming that mentions it a bit more specifically. But, it is among so much more about Hannover that I could easily talk about!
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Hi Eric! Glad to see you´re back again.I think Hannover is not the most boring city in germany, but also not the most exciting one. Some places are really cool there. But it´s important that you like to live there.Is it real that the Marktkirche has a "Drudenfuß" bzw. Pentagramm symbol on one side of the tower? Krass.You´re really interested in history.From every building you know the year when it was build,great!
As a German / American who lived and worked in Hannover, I agree! I grew up in Heilbronn, lived in SC, returned to Nord Deutschland, and most recently lived in Wiesbaden. Hannover rocks!
Eric, Your channel definitely deserves more views! You're so likeable and these are some entertaining lovely-crafted videos You put out! Grüße aus Bonn!
Wow! I’m so glad to find your video. I really like your kind way to show the city and it’s history. And you take away my insecurity about moving to Hannover! :)
Hannover loves Horses. There is a certain hanovarian Horse, it´s called Hannoveraner. And those were the Horses the Military sed in the 16th centuary. You should visit Bremen, if you ever got the time, ist like a smaller version of Hannover and Hamburg. :-)
The thing about the pentagram on the Marktkirche it represents the five holy wounds of Jesus. Some people are a bit irritated by that. Well, ok, it's a bit funny, too. Just one point, there is a history before the white settlers came there. Even it is often forgotten, but this is the story for another time. Hannover was great in horses. The Hanoverian horses were the fundament for the Celle State Stud - really big thing for the cavalary and the war on Napoleon So, in this sense: For the queen and the personal union ;)
The horse in front of the university (which once was build as a palace for the hanovarian royals in the nineteens century but never came into use) actually is the "Saxon Steed" which is considered to be an anciend symbol of the old saxon tribes who lived in northern Germany in the early Middle Ages. It´s shown on the flags of Lower Saxony but also in the coat of arms of the county of Kent in England and the region of Twente in the Netherlands. A white horse on red ground.
Beautiful video, thank you! I live here from 3 years but haven't had the chance to visit all this places. The video is perfect to show my non-german speaking friends where I live as well
@@KrautsalatAnAmericaninGermany Not really. ^_^ I'd always prefer Herrenhäuser Gärten over Eintracht Stadion. Now my fellow Braunschweiger will bash me, but what the heck, LOL!
_There are so many very beautiful and interesting cities all over Germany - and many are not known._ Foreign tourists know only the _over crowded_ places like Neuschwanstein, Berlin, Munich, etc. pp. - which are IMHO (at max.) second choice POIs.
Hi. Some more things that stand out in Hannover: public transport, (sport, music, culture, etc.) events, professional sport (ice hockey, handball, football, you name it, Hannover has it.), awesome activity locations (Deister, Steinhunder Meer, Expo Areal), fantastic Museums (there are so many, I don‘t want to list them all) and of course Hannover also has an international airport and is world‘s fair capital city
It has been really cool for me to read comments like this, i get them from time to time from one video to another. Showing my appreciation here seems to spread to others☺
Another great video. I'll add Hanover to my growing list of places to visit in Germany. Do you have plans to show more of Hanover,or any places close to Hanover?
Thanks! Well, I will always do a lot within and around Hannover. I cannot even do all that I would like....I would only be talking about Hannover for months! But you will certainly see more!
Very nice video. Thank you for showing us around the city of Hannover. With so many places to see it doesn't look like it could possibly be boring at all! Looks like yet another beautiful German city. BTW, loved the part where you were skipping through the garden. lol!
Thank you...and the title is very sarcastic because there are locals that do think Hannover is boring but they have never lived anywhere else and do not plan to move. Hannover is wonderful, and I could easily make another hour of material! and to see me skipping...that's when you know i'm happy🤣
@@KrautsalatAnAmericaninGermany I started watching your videos because I enjoy seeing Germany from the eyes of someone else living there but who is not a natural citizen. My family and I are from the USA. We have made 3 trips to Germany and it is one of our favorite countries to visit. I would love the opportunity for an extended stay so your videos showing us around kinda gives me a glimpse of what it might be like to actually have the time to really explore. And, also I gain inspiration for traveling back again in the future! I think we may have changed trains in Hannover but it looks like next time I should hop off and look around for a while. I love seeing all the varied architecture and learning about the details and history behind each place. I'd love to see another video if you decide to share another hour of material. I'd also like to say that in this video I noticed a nice improvement in your video making skills. I expect it gets better every time and I thought this video was really exceptionally done. Kudos... and stay happy!
I remember 'Der Turm' Pub. It was a really nice medieval inspired Pub. Nice food, mead and not too expensive. Sadly, they closed it down almost 13 years ago. Such a shame.
Dude... you’re in Hannover? Dope! I'm only about 30-40 minutes away in Hildesheim! Not often other UA-camrs set up near here... they all seem to love settling down in Bavaria... 😒😂
Great video! When I came to Germany I kept hearing from Germans that Hannover is ugly. When I visited Hannover for the first time I absolutely loved it!
Aaand also interesting, if you got time and like history : The Freemasonry of the Hannovers, also they are tied to Göttingen/Braunschweig, Bielefeld etc.. :) brilliant stuff
Kommt ein Amerikaner aus Wisconsin nach Hannover und erklärt mir meine Heimatstadt... well done again, Eric! Und nun ein Folgevideo zu den "hidden spots" und anderen Geheimnissen, die Hannover erst so richtig l(i)ebenswert machen.
Krautsalat is life! That being said I'm considering moving to Hannover from Berlin. Yeah... you tell me why (mostly my neighbours and that way Berlin works).
Berlin is crazy. I enjoy city life but Berlin is probably too much for me. If i left Hannover I would go to Hamburg, also a big city but it feels small to me. And I have always felt a draw to being there.
Das mit der Zunge des Pferdes stimmt nicht. Da das Pferd ursprünglich einen Reiter trug, wurde die Zunge von der Trense nach unten gedrückt und ist daher nur zu sehen, wenn sich der Betrachter Aug' in Aug' mit dem Tier befindet. Die Gerüchte, dass sich der Künstler erschoss oder erhängte sind erfunden. :)
Thank you and don’t forget that House of Hannover was planning on creating a version of London in Hannover! This is why if you pay close attention, it does resemble London
From 1241, the city of Hanover was granted a right of joint use of the woodlands of the Eilenriede. In 1371 it was donated to the citizens of Hanover by Dukes Wenzeslaus and Albrecht of Saxony in thanks for their support in the Lüneburg War of Succession. This gave the citizens the right to use and maintain the forest area, which at the time covered 465 hectares, as their property. At the same time, there was an obligation to expand the forest area. It was hardly possible to build on the predominantly swampy terrain, so the character of the forest was preserved for centuries.
I live in Lower Saxony but it's been 20 years since the last time I was in Hannover, so thanks for your nice little tour. :) BTW, German metal band Macbeth made a Song about Fritz Haarmann - I highly recommend you check them out. Their lyrics are all in German so you might learn a new word or two (I've learned a lot of English vocabulary through song lyrics myself).
Nice Site seeing Video mate👍, although I am German, I never visited Hannover myself but have to admit it looks nice and liveable, truly underestimated. You did a great job, keep it up!
Hanover is a lot nicer than most people think. I have lived in Hanover the last 24 years, and it has never felt boring to me. Living in a particular city is quite often what you make it.
As a German who's never been to Hannover, you really changed my mind about the city and I kinda can't wait to go there now sometime 😅
Awesome! I totally understand that many people do not see something special. But one goal I have is to spread my appreciation and the way I see things.
@@KrautsalatAnAmericaninGermany Very honorable, Sir 💪
@@KrautsalatAnAmericaninGermany "Ehrenmann" , as we say in German 🤙
Same here. :D I've only been there a couple times for work related occasions, mostly on weekends and during night time.
I can't believe that people think Hanover and Hamburg are boring cities like WTF they're amazing cities, I never get bored when I'm in these two cities.
I like Hannover very much, but Hamburg is a different beast of a city.
You are the best influencer for the city of Hannover. The Bürgermeister from Hannover should see this 😎👍
And another "thank you"! If he does I hope he likes it!
@@KrautsalatAnAmericaninGermany No I have to thank you.... and yes I believe definitely he want to see it!
I love Hannover, used to spend every summer holiday there. Plenty to see and do.

Indeed, it was a pity that this pub had to be closed. A lot of evenings I went to the Turm just for one beer... "Just one beer..." 🤪 yeah... 🙄
Thank you for a blast from the past. I studied in Hannover and lived in Linden and Südstadt from 1990 to 1998. I learned to appreciate the city after I moved away from there. ;)
I thought every City was like Hanover because I was born there and lived it, but now I know, Hanover is Special, I want to come home
Hangover
Es gibt da noch den Stöckener Friedhof. Der ist sehr schön, wie ein Park mit einem kleinen See und in dem See dann noch eine kleinen Insel.
18 year old german here, love your videos, love your character, following you on Insta👍🏼🇩🇪🇺🇸🤘🏼
I love how you say Hannover. It sounds like hangover. :P
I live there too and I once scoped a bands concert song playlist of the floor after a gig and it said 'Hangover' and then the date on the top.😂
Its so much like Vienna except that the Summer Palace gardens are so much nicer in Hanover ! Lg von Wien = )
Sehr schönes Video. Schön Dich nach Deiner Sauftour durch Deutschland lebend wiederzusehen :D
Thanks for this awesome declaration of love for this little city.
An American Metal fan living in germany? Ich gebe Bier aus

Thank you, for showing some of Hannovers beautiful spots :-)
Hannover is a beautiful city to live.
Not to big, a lot of green, the Maschsee, Eilenriede and a lot of places to go to... but sadly, especialy a lot of small music clubs were closed over the time.

Yes! But it was always hard tumbeling down afterwards.... 😇

The Herrenhäuser Gärten are hosting the annual international fireworks competitions, where the best fireworks companies from different countries are showing off their best fireworks thru-out the summer weekend evenings.

Oh dammit....I totally forgot to mention the fireworks!!!! Wth Eric!! Ughh
My wife is from Hannover, moved away when she was 12 years old and tries to persuade me to move back there even though we are only 45 km away.
"the walls need to be black though "....🤣🤣🤣🤣 I really enjoy your humor. And by the way, to compare the Eilenriede's size with central park and the wacken grounds really is somehow ingeniously 😁
Thank you☺
the pub "das Trümchen" was closed due to withdrawl from the lease contract by the city of hannover, wich was done, because the Beginenturm started to show signs of losing structural integrity and was deemed dilapidated. restauration has been done, but not suficcient enough to reopen the tower back for public.
the pub was quite nice, a medival style pub with 3 levels, each small and cosy, with some drinks, that are still legendary in the "dark scene" in hannover. (rostiger nagel)
but visiting the bathroom or leave when you drank to much in the upper levels was a nightmare.....
the pentagram on the marktkirche is a protection sign against fire ;)
the eilenriede is the largest still existing medival city forest and the herrenhäuser gärten are the second largest barrok gardens in the world after versailles.
also nice places are just on the other side of the road of the herrenhäuser gärten lies the berggarten, the former botanic garden of the royal summer palace.
the hannover zoo is also quite nice after its rework
Soso... *YAAAAWN*
sorry digger, bin'n Troll. 😂😇🍺✌
The Nanas are still there, I'm relieved. I used to visit family there, decades ago. The Nanas, the flea market at the river Leine, the historical museum, the pedestrian zone, the Maschsee and the Herrenhäuser Gärten were my favorites.
Oh indeed, Hannover really adopted Niki and apart from the fantastic grotto in the Große Garten she still personally oversaw, she made sure that all of her work was donated to Hannover when she died.

It has been really cool for me to read comments like this, i get them from time to time from one video to another. Showing my appreciation here seems to spread to others☺
Another great video. I'll add Hanover to my growing list of places to visit in Germany.
Do you have plans to show more of Hanover,or any places close to Hanover?
Thanks! Well, I will always do a lot within and around Hannover. I cannot even do all that I would like....I would only be talking about Hannover for months! But you will certainly see more!
Very nice video. Thank you for showing us around the city of Hannover. With so many places to see it doesn't look like it could possibly be boring at all! Looks like yet another beautiful German city.
BTW, loved the part where you were skipping through the garden. lol!
Thank you...and the title is very sarcastic because there are locals that do think Hannover is boring but they have never lived anywhere else and do not plan to move. Hannover is wonderful, and I could easily make another hour of material!
and to see me skipping...that's when you know i'm happy🤣
@@KrautsalatAnAmericaninGermany I started watching your videos because I enjoy seeing Germany from the eyes of someone else living there but who is not a natural citizen. My family and I are from the USA. We have made 3 trips to Germany and it is one of our favorite countries to visit. I would love the opportunity for an extended stay so your videos showing us around kinda gives me a glimpse of what it might be like to actually have the time to really explore. And, also I gain inspiration for traveling back again in the future!
I think we may have changed trains in Hannover but it looks like next time I should hop off and look around for a while. I love seeing all the varied architecture and learning about the details and history behind each place. I'd love to see another video if you decide to share another hour of material.
I'd also like to say that in this video I noticed a nice improvement in your video making skills. I expect it gets better every time and I thought this video was really exceptionally done. Kudos... and stay happy!
Great videos! I hope you stay in Germany and feel happy here! :)
I remember 'Der Turm' Pub. It was a really nice medieval inspired Pub. Nice food, mead and not too expensive. Sadly, they closed it down almost 13 years ago. Such a shame.
When I visited Mythos relatives in Hannover ist was a must.
Do you know why it was shut down?
@@volkerwendt3061 I think the city didn't renew the rental because of monumental protection concerns.
Dude... you’re in Hannover? Dope! I'm only about 30-40 minutes away in Hildesheim! Not often other UA-camrs set up near here... they all seem to love settling down in Bavaria... 😒😂
Great video! When I came to Germany I kept hearing from Germans that Hannover is ugly. When I visited Hannover for the first time I absolutely loved it!
Aaand also interesting, if you got time and like history : The Freemasonry of the Hannovers, also they are tied to Göttingen/Braunschweig, Bielefeld etc.. :) brilliant stuff
Kommt ein Amerikaner aus Wisconsin nach Hannover und erklärt mir meine Heimatstadt... well done again, Eric! Und nun ein Folgevideo zu den "hidden spots" und anderen Geheimnissen, die Hannover erst so richtig l(i)ebenswert machen.
Ne, muß ja nicht jeder alles wissen.
Most interesting historic tour of Hannover ever seen :) 10/10 from me
Thank you! And i only know a little! I still could have made this much longer!
Krautsalat is life! That being said I'm considering moving to Hannover from Berlin. Yeah... you tell me why (mostly my neighbours and that way Berlin works).
Berlin is crazy. I enjoy city life but Berlin is probably too much for me. If i left Hannover I would go to Hamburg, also a big city but it feels small to me. And I have always felt a draw to being there.
Das mit der Zunge des Pferdes stimmt nicht. Da das Pferd ursprünglich einen Reiter trug, wurde die Zunge von der Trense nach unten gedrückt und ist daher nur zu sehen, wenn sich der Betrachter Aug' in Aug' mit dem Tier befindet. Die Gerüchte, dass sich der Künstler erschoss oder erhängte sind erfunden. :)
Thank you and don’t forget that House of Hannover was planning on creating a version of London in Hannover! This is why if you pay close attention, it does resemble London
Unfortunately most of the old town was later bombed by the British (and Americans). The irony.
@@meganoob12 I am visiting Sigmaringen and Hohenzollern right now
Schönes Wochenende!
From 1241, the city of Hanover was granted a right of joint use of the woodlands of the Eilenriede. In 1371 it was donated to the citizens of Hanover by Dukes Wenzeslaus and Albrecht of Saxony in thanks for their support in the Lüneburg War of Succession. This gave the citizens the right to use and maintain the forest area, which at the time covered 465 hectares, as their property. At the same time, there was an obligation to expand the forest area. It was hardly possible to build on the predominantly swampy terrain, so the character of the forest was preserved for centuries.
Did you know there where motorcycle races around the Eilenriede?
I did not! I can imagine that being cool...on one hand but then i can imagine a lot of people not liking it
@@KrautsalatAnAmericaninGermany Nowadays for sure. It drew 150.000 people in the 50s.
I live in Lower Saxony but it's been 20 years since the last time I was in Hannover, so thanks for your nice little tour. :)
BTW, German metal band Macbeth made a Song about Fritz Haarmann - I highly recommend you check them out. Their lyrics are all in German so you might learn a new word or two (I've learned a lot of English vocabulary through song lyrics myself).
Nice Site seeing Video mate👍, although I am German, I never visited Hannover myself but have to admit it looks nice and liveable, truly underestimated. You did a great job, keep it up!
Thank you! This is what i wanted to achieve :)
I went there yesterday on a roadtrip and it was quite ok i think.
Ich kenne auch den Pub im Beginenturm. Der war toll.
Was macht Arne denn da im Hintergrund? ☺
😉🤭
I'm an Ostwestfale living in Baden😂 But in my Childhood I visit Sometimes Hannover😂😊
Endlich mal jemand der die Schönheit bei uns Erkennt 🤗😄
