Facts and practical information

Leibnizhaus was originally a Renaissance townhouse in Hanover built in 1499 and named after the philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. He lived in the house from 1698 until his death in 1716. The building was destroyed during an air raid on Hanover in 1943 during World War II. Between 1981 and 1983, a reconstructed new building with the faithfully reproduced facade was erected elsewhere.
