Niedersachsen Information?

Question

Any information on this German state would be VERY helpful! Thanks!

Answer 1

This German state was ruled by the same dynasty as Britain for the most part of the 18th century and right into the 19th up until 1837 (Niedersachsen was then called "Braunschweig-Lüneburg", later "Hannover"). So King George III was at the same time Prince Elector of Braunschweig-Lüneburg.

That's the reason why you'll find some architecture there from that era that will remind you of British buildings.

In the mid 19th century, King Ernst August of Hannover expelled the famous Brothers Grimm from the country for being too liberal.

It is widely regarded as the part of Germany where the most accent-free German is spoken.

Answer 3

Some people were able to write thick books describing Niedersachsen. So I think it will be the best to pass your question on to people who were pondering how to give some quick and good informations useful for everyone. There is an official website of the Government of Lower Saxony with an English version. It's including a map. If you google the names on the map, you will find tons of additional pictures and informations about these places, also in English.
