Overview

  • Dive into the rugged history of Hanover's cityscape. After the destructions of the Second World War, city planners tried to create a hyperrational, car-friendly utopia that cut through areas and banished pedestrians underground. But the city resisted. On this tour, you follow the fault lines between monumental concrete infrastructure and the grassroots rebellions that reclaimed the streets. From brutalist monoliths to vibrant avenues full of kiosks – discover how working-class areas, artists, and citizens waged a decades-long war against the asphalt to bring human life back to their city.
