History
.jpg)
Schloss Herrenhausen, 1895
Am Kröpcke, 1895
Founded in medieval times on the bank of the river Leine (the original name ''Honovere'' may be translated as "high bank", though it is debated), Hanover was a small village of ferrymen and fishermen, and became a comparatively large town in the 13th century. In the 14th century the main
churches of Hanover were built, as well as a
city wall with three
town gates to secure the city.
In 1636 the
Elector of
Calenberg decided to move his residence to Hanover. His
electorate was afterwards known as the Electorate of Hanover (see:
House of Hanover). His descendants would later become kings of
Great Britain (after 1800, kings of the
United Kingdom); the first of them was
George I, who ascended to the British throne in 1714. Three kings of Great Britain, or the United Kingdom, were at the same time
Electoral Princes of Hanover. His even further descendants became the monarchs of sixteen countries around the world known as the
Commonwealth Realms. The most famous of these descendants living today is Elizabeth II, queen of England.
During the time (1714-1837) of the personal union of the crowns of the United Kingdom and Hanover, the monarch rarely visited the city. In fact, during the reigns of the final three joint rulers (1760-1837), there was only one short visit, by
George IV, in 1821. Usually, a viceroy represented the monarch in Hanover.
During the
Seven Years' War on
July 26,
1757 the
Battle of Hastenbeck took place near the city. The
French army defeated the
Hanoverian Army of Observation, leading to the occupation of Hanover.
After
Napoleon imposed the
Convention of Artlenburg (Convention of the Elbe) on
July 5,
1803 about 30,000 French soldiers occupied Hanover. The Convention also meant the disbanding of the army of Hanover.
George III did not recognize the Convention of the Elbe. As a result of this, a great number of soldiers from Hanover eventually emigrated to
Great Britain leading to the
King's German Legion which was the only German army to fight continually during the whole Napoleonic wars against the French. They played later an important role in the
Battle of Waterloo in
1815 . The
Congress of Vienna in 1814 elevated the electorate to the
Kingdom of Hanover. The capital town Hanover expanded to the western bank of the Leine and grew considerably ever since.
In 1837, the
personal union of the United Kingdom and Hanover ended as
William IV's heir in the United Kingdom was female (
Queen Victoria), and Hanover could be
inherited only by males. Hanover passed to William IV's brother as a consequence,
Ernest Augustus, and continued as a kingdom until 1866, when Hanover, despite having won the battle of
Langensalza against Prussia, was annexed by
Prussia. After the annexation, the people of Hanover opposed the Prussian regime. Nevertheless, the growth of Hanover continued until
World War II, when two thirds of the town was bombed to ruins. After the war, Hanover was in the British zone of occupation of Germany, and became part of the new
state (Land) of
Lower Saxony in 1946.
