Oststadt (East Town) & List
Many of the beautifully ornamented Art Deco houses in this area are inhabited by media personalities, artists, actors or musicians. The residents are possibly the reason why this district shows quite a concentration of restaurants and pubs! At the North-eastern end of the Passarelle (the subterranean arcades under the main station) the so called Bermuda-triangle starts; an accumulation of clubs, bars and cafés where you can easily get lost. During the day, passers-by exchange greetings and glances on the Lister Meile, a shopping street leading through the district. Bordering on the East Town and extending to Kleefeld and to the Maschsee you'll find Hanover's municipal forest, the Eilenriede.
