The state Lower Saxony that borders at the North Sea is very popular. It is famous for the beautiful redbrick houses and the fisheries.'

The open state

Since the end of the Second World War many people had to leave their homes, for different reasons, and found a new home in Lower Saxony. The flow of migration is lasting till this day. As a result, the population of Lower Saxony can’t be described as the one typical population of Lower Saxony, because of the cultural and traditional differences of the inhabitants. The second largest state offers space for many people. The North Sea attracts numerous tourists with seven East Frisian Islands and the largest national park in Germany – the Wadden Sea. Vacationers not only spend their free time at the coast, they also like to relay at Lueneburg Heath, in the beautiful Harz Mountains or in the Weser Uplands. Lower Saxony is famous for redbrick houses, the East Frisian tea culture, the interesting Worpswede artists’ colony and the popular children’s stories by Wilhelm Busch. The housing market of Lower Saxony is mixed. Rental prices in urban areas are increasing and offers decline. But apartment seekers in rural areas are finding easily an affordable apartment.

The state capital Hanover

Whether ‘city of science’, ‘town of short distances’ or ‘green city’ – Hanover has no official, advertising slogan to present itself in the urban audit. But the reserved city has plenty to offer. Many visitors visit the trade fair town annually. Because popular firms, like Continental, have their headquarters in Hanover, the city has numerous workplaces to offer. City travelers come to Hanover to visit the impressive Herrenhausen Gardens, the quaint historic city, the fascinating ‘Skulpturenmeile’ or the imposing new townhall building. Every inhabitant can find an appropriate home in one of the 13 neighborhoods. Many young people live in the cool and artistically minded district List. Kleefeld is situated central and therefore it is very popular. Families with children move to Kirchrode, because the location is relaxed and quiet. All Hanoverians like to stroll around in the city forest ‘Eilenriede’ or relax at the lake ‘Maschsee’.
