A weekend in Hannover took us to several restaurants, caf\u00e9s and pubs. We sampled very different offerings and found that eating out in Hannover is a treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Market Hall Hannover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For all those who don’t really know what they’re in the mood for or where they should go for a meal in Hannover, the Markthalle Hannover (Market Hall Hanover) is just the right place. Everyone is sure to find something to their taste here, the selection is really large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market hall, or as the Hannoverians say, the belly of Hannover, is located on the edge of the old town, opposite the Old Town Hall. The call for a market hall increased more and more in Hannover from 1875 onwards. The population grew, the number of traders increased and the market carts increasingly obstructed road traffic. For a while there was even talk of abolishing street markets altogether, but the population needed them as a supply option. In 1888, it was decided to build a municipal market hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An iron and glass structure with brick side walls was built, 84 metres long, 48 metres wide and 20 metres high. 243 traders sold their wares there. Even the tram laid tracks up to the south side of the market hall to ensure delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the First World War, the city enlarged the cold storage rooms under the market hall. This made it possible to store grain and food for the population. In addition, municipal sales outlets for basic foodstuffs were established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Second World War, aerial bombs almost completely destroyed Hannover and the market hall was also destroyed. The cold storage rooms under the hall were preserved and the market traders set up temporary stalls in the destroyed hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It quickly became clear that Hannover needed a new market hall. A functional building was erected on the listed foundation walls and the refrigerated cellars. Today, there are 73 different stalls in the hall. Some stalls sell food such as vegetables, wine, sausages, meat, bread, fish and fruit. Other stalls sell meals and drinks. Here you can find an international range of the most diverse foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
