Village "Hänigsen"

The Village Hänigsen is part of a urban district from Uetze community. It's located approximately 27 kilometer east of Hannover.


Hänigsen was first documented and mentioned in 1226 and was then called "Henighusen" (which meant - site of the tribe Henning). In 1529, the reformation was implemented in Hänigsen.


Here's the direction to the Mill in Hänigser ->






The nickname of Hänigsen is "Kasparland".


Lots of the townsfolks have "Kaspar" as their first name till the middle of 19th Century. That's kind of weird, isn't it?!

This good-old-looking post mill (Bockwindmühle in German) is originated from 1705. This is earliest type of European wind mill.

















I enjoy visiting this small village very much. It has its charm which I can not describe.

Braunschweig

Since medieval times the Landmark of the city Braunschweig, there has been a lion named Heinrich in the city.....

Burgplatz with Henry the lion

Happy Rizzi House

Back in 1999 these buildings had arouse some controversial discussions.

The pop art of James Rizzi has not only put smiles on the buildings, but also on my face, too. These 5 buildings belongs to the must-see, I think. They are now used as offices and not opened for the tourists.

This beautiful castle is not really a castle.............

but a shopping mall inside! (Schloss-arkaden)

This is the right side the shopping castle.














walking in the direction of the old town......

I was quite surprised to see a Karstadt inside of the old house.

Italian Restaurant Gustimo

A nice little Italian restaurant

where you can combine your favoriate pasta and salad ingredients into your dishes. The portion is huge.


The word "Sitzungssaal" (der, masculine) in German means conference room.
Here is a conferece room for only one person.

"Herrn haben hier keinen Zutritt" means "lit. - Gentlemen have here no entrance." So, it's the lady's room.

"Damen haben hier keinen Zutritt" is the men's room.

Something interesting to read while you are sitting on the pot.

In the States, this kind of “cook & add as order” restaurant is not hard to find, but it’s rare in Germany.
