Capital of the Land of Lower Saxony
Hannover, on the river Leine, is capital of the Land of Lower Saxony and an important industrial and commercial center, with a university, a medical school, a veterinary college and academies of music and drama. Its trade fairs are of international standing. With the
Mittelland Canal and its motorway and rail connections it is a major center of communications. Its extensive parks - the Eilenriede, Maschpark with its lake, Lönspark, the Zoo, the Herrenhausen Gardens - justify Hannover's claim to be "the city in the country".
