The Leine River that runs through the city.

This is INI where Jamie was able to see surgeries performed by Dr. Madjid Samii. The architectural shape is in the likeness of a brain. You can even see a cerebellum in the back.

Hannover was established around the year 1100. It was heavily destroyed by bombs in WWII. This is the Marktkirche, 14th century, and has very typical northern German architecture with Gothic style.

Last week took us to the city of Hannover which is about a 5 hour drive north of Tuebingen. Jamie shadowed a famous neurosurgeon at INI (International Neuroscience Institute). The girls and I took the opportunity to see some of the city sights. Hannover is home to over 500,000 people. Although this isn't a big tourist destination, it does host many trade shows and the International world expo. The city is very clean, the people are so friendly, and it is very green filled with parks and forests. This is the Neues Rathaus.
