Herrenhausen-Stöcken

Economic development in the district

From baroque to industry

A district that consists of seven districts and has a population of around 37,000 must inevitably have a high degree of diversity. The Herrenhäuser Markt is the focal point, with a good network of local suppliers and a large number of smaller stores.

Whether tourists and students in Herrenhausen, the railroad facilities in Leinhausen, the Herrenhausen Gardens or the historic monastery in Marienwerder: history and stories characterize the district just as much as modern industry and the 63-hectare port facility in Nordhafen.

Between Mecklenheidestrasse and Hansastrasse, Volkswagen and Continental AG stand alongside the active power station as examples of this industrial, progressive district.
