Since 1 May 2024, the banks of the River Leine right next to the Historical Museum have been coming back to life for passers-by. Thanks to the "H-STORY" project, historical views of the city are returning to their original locations. There are two "ZeitZylinder" (time cylinders) to discover near the Historical Museum, close to the Leinewelle. Attached to lampposts, they use QR codes to provide access to digital, faithfully reconstructed 360-degree panoramas from 1925. Simply scan the QR code and you can immerse yourself in the past with your smartphone or tablet!
The banks of the Leine used to look very different: The "Little Venice" island, the old armoury and many other historic buildings along the river offer an impressive comparison to today. Find out more about the dramatic urban development of the last 100 years and stay longer in this era to discover brief information about buildings that have disappeared, historical photos and contemporary texts. For example, take a look at Erich Maria Remarque's works, who lived here in the 1920s.
Behind "H-STORY" is the creative idea of graphic artist and illustrator Oliver Sprigade. The Hanover Historical Museum supports the project, which is accessible to you free of charge and without advertising. If you can't view the panoramas directly on the banks of the River Leine, you can find them online at h-story.com. Take a look and experience Hanover from a completely new perspective!
