Burschenschaft Hannovera

Hannovera is a lifelong bond (Lebensbund), which brings together students and alumni of Göttingen University.

It is the only one of the classic German fraternities ever to include a woman: the Swedish Nightingale Jenny Lind.

As a result of World War II, 26 members lost their lives at the front or in captivity.

[4] In addition to the motto of all old Burschenschaft, Ehre, Freiheit, Vaterland (i.e. "Honor, Freedom, Fatherland"),[5] Hannovera bears its own motto, Freiheit durch Einigkeit (i.e. "Freedom through unity") and therefore stands in the democratic tradition of the Urburschenschaft, follows common principles of German unity, democracy, convention principle, tolerance and livelong friendship (Lebensbund).

[7] Since 1908, Hannovera has owned[8] its club house (Grünenhaus) in Göttingen, Herzberger Landstraße 9, now a Listed Building of Special Architectural and Historic Interest, surrounded by a private garden.
