Hanover (German: Hannover) is a territory that was at various times a principality within the Holy Roman Empire, an Electorate within the same, an independent Kingdom, and a subordinate Province within the Kingdom of Prussia.
Hannover enjoyed its first commercial boom, became a member of the Hanseatic League (Hanse) and had a population of around 4000. Hannover’s burghers tended to favour the reformationist movement and, at a gathering on the marketplace in June 1533, swore to support Martin Luther.
Its earliest history is as a small village frequented by numerous fishermen. It wasn't until the Middle Ages, however, that Hanover grew as a community of tradesmen and craftsmen. From the 14th century, a defensive wall started to be built around the town, punctuated by several gates.
Hannover fue fundada en época medieval en la orilla oriental del río Leine. Su nombre original Honovere puede significar "alta orilla (del río)", aunque esto es objeto de debate (cf. das Hohe Ufer).
