Very British - on the trail of the personal union

The era of personal union between Hanover and Great Britain began with the accession of Elector George Louis to the British throne in 1714. For more than a century, the Hanoverian rulers were also kings of England. Despite the political separation, close ties developed in science, agriculture and art. This special era only came to an end in 1837, when William IV was left without a male heir and the Guelph law of succession ruled out a female succession to the throne.

The city tour "Hanover: Very British - on the trail of the personal union" invites you to immerse yourself in this fascinating time. The starting point is the cosy tea room at the Ballhof, where the traditional "Guelph tea" is served - a tribute to the House of Hanover and its close relationship with Great Britain.

The tour ends with a visit to the Dublin Innan Irish pub in the old town, where you can choose between Guinness or a non-alcoholic drink is served.
