Lower Saxony state capital — historically Germany's trade-fair capital (Hannover Messe is the world's largest industrial trade fair). The Altstadt (the small surviving medieval core after WWII bombing) and the Maschsee lake district are the walkable cores. Germany has no formal DNV; Freiberufler / Selbständige / Blue Card. Schengen. Roughly 35-40% cheaper than Munich or Hamburg on rent with direct ICE access to Berlin (1h45) and Frankfurt (2h15). The Royal Herrenhausen Gardens are the country's largest baroque garden complex.
