Today was a lazy Sunday afternoon with a late start out of the hotel after breakfast, and just a day of wandering around Hannover. We started at the rathaus (city hall), which was a magnificent building. One of the most interesting parts of this building was that inside it had models of Hannover from various years like the 1600s, 1930s, 1946, and present day. The 1946 model was particularly interesting to see because you could see how the city was bombed nearly to oblivion during WWII. It was bombed because it was making rail cars for the war, and because it was on a major rail line. You can see one view of that model below:
And a picture of the city hall from the front as well for you…
We continued to go around the city looking at the sights and sounds of the town. One really fun aspect of the city is its old world charm as seen in the picture below. Remember, all of this has been rebuilt since 1945.
Then we headed to a beautiful gardens for the afternoon and for lunch. For dinner we had Bavarian German food for dinner…very heavy meat and potatoes food that really put us all in the mood for sleeping after a full day of walking and relaxing on a Sunday.
