Facts and practical information

Waterlooplatz in Hannover is a lawn of about four hectares in the district of Calenberger Neustadt. On the square stands the Waterloo column. The square and column were created in the 19th century to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo. While the square originally surrounded a barracks area when it was created in the first half of the 19th century, today it is located in the middle of the government and administrative district of the capital of Lower Saxony.
