Bus stops Hannover owns the most unusual international collection of bus and trolley stops created by designers from all over the world. The bus stops are stops and art at the same time. They create accents in Hannover's landscape and offer amusement for the eye without disturbing the waiting passengers. The bus stops were built in 1994 within the framework of the international design project of the same name from the Lower Saxony foundation together with the Toto-Lotto Niedersachsen GmbH, the üstra-AG as well as many private sponsors. Locations: Sprengelmuseum ( Heike Mühlhaus ) Aegi/Prinzenstrasse ( Jasper Morrison ) Stadthalle ( Oskar Touquets Blanca ) Braunschweiger Platz ( Frank O. Gehry ) Königsworther Platz ( Ettore Sottsass ) Steintor ( Alessandro Mendini ) Nieschlagstrasse ( Wolfgang Laubersheimer ) Friedrichswall ( Massimo Iosa Ghini ) Leinaustrasse ( Andreas Brandolino)

stops become art objects The underground stations were from the outset also art objects. The bus stops, that are bus stops arranged by internationally well-known artists, as well as of Hanover designer penalty and metropolitan railways these ambitions continue. The overhead railway pastes of the metropolitan railway on the distance to the fairground - floating structural steelworks - were distinguished even with the German town construction price 1999.
