Shopping in mall in Hannover was decent. Was looking for Rimowa, sadly there’s none, I had to travel to Hamburg!

Central train station of Hannover
Sebastian D'Agostino
Typical meeting point "under the tail" in Hannover. Nothing special, but nice to know it is a reference for locals to meet up.

Now on the square around the monument there are houses where you can drink mulled wine, eat sausage or something sweet. The choice of food is not great, places where you can sit down, very little. Prices are too high

A statue of the Hannover King Ernest Augustus. Located just near the entrance to the train station.
A popular meeting point among locals.
Stairs down to the Niki-de-Saint-Phalle-Promenade shopping mall are located just near the statue.

This monument stands in tribute to Ernest Augustus, a fifth son of George III of Great Britain who was fortunate to rise to the throne thanks for Salic law that barred women from inheriting the throne.

The monument is a larger than life equestrian statue of the king in the uniform of the hussars in reference to his 15th The King's Hussars officers of the British army with whom he had served.

The monument literally stands in front of Hanover Central Station and along with the station, dominates the public square in which it stands.

Good luck trying to get a good photo of this monument for all the people using it as shade from the sun or just a place to rest on.
