Linden

This traditional working class district was one of North Germany's first industrial centers. Today, a multicultural society prevails peacefully, impossible to imagine Linden without Spanish restaurants and Turkish groceries. However, the old natives there still speak a special Linden dialect. The district displays the self-confident image of an independent town. The redevelopment has rendered a friendlier face to the blocks; only the shopping center, Ihme-Zentrum, is an unsightly relict of the concrete prevalence. A positive example of today's culture in Linden is the listed building of the former bed spring factory, Faust, now used as a concert hall and place for meetings and events. On Hanover's only natural hill, the Lindener Hill, the Jazz Club stages outstanding concerts, and at the top, around the Lindner tower, there is a very popular beer garden.
