Hanover: Very British - on the trail of personal union Adult

In 1714, Elector Georg Ludwig, who ascended to the British throne as George I, began the period of personal union in which Hanover's rulers also ruled England. Although both countries continued to exist separately, there was still exchange in science, agriculture and art. Since the last king of the personal union, Wilhelm IV, had no male descendants and Guelph inheritance law ruled out female succession to the throne, the era of the personal union ended in 1837. Find out more about this exciting time with the tour "Hannover: Very British - on the trail of the personal union".

At the beginning you will be served “Guelph tea” in the tea room. A dedication to the Guelphs, the House of Hanover and the closely linked relationship between the Royal House of Hanover and Great Britain. Earl Grey, a great classic among teas, was chosen by the English court as the official drink for over 200 years.

The tour is rounded off with a "Guinness" or soft drink in the Dublin Inn, an Irish pub in the old town.
