Gerhardstraße

It’s a music shop inside and out, with a colourful facade featuring images of instruments and notes.

The 16,000 or more inhabitants of Nordstadt, the area of Hannover to the north of the city centre, are a colourful mixture of students, young families, old inhabitants who have meanwhile become local institutions, and numerous eccentrics. Life is relaxed, tolerant and peaceful. People meet in the cafés on Engelbosteler Damm or around Luther Church to chat about this and that or simply enjoy a picnic in Welfengarten Park.
