Hanover Germany History

Hanover Germany was a small village of ferrymen and fishermen, which became a comparatively large town in the 13th century. In the 14th century, the main churches were built, as well as a city wall with three town gates that should secure the city.

In 1636, Duke of Calenberg decided to move his residence to the town. His duchy was afterwards known as the Duchy of Hanover. His descendants would later become kings of Great Britain; the first of them was George I, who ascended to the British throne in 1714. Three kings of Great Britain were at the same time Electoral Princes of Hanover.
