Courage.

Friedrich Christoph Dahlmann was a Göttingen professor and a "founding father" of German parliamentarianism. In 1837, he led the Göttingen Seven - a group of professors who risked their careers to protest King Ernst August’s constitutional violations. His bronze statue now is the central part of a #monument and stands before the #LowerSaxony State Parliament in #Hannover, symbolizing the transition from academia to principled political action.

Ottenstraße.

I captured this little snapshot of everyday life in #Hannover on a side street off Limmerstraße. Limmerstraße itself is a popular hangout for local young people because of its many bars and restaurants. One “limmert” here.

By the way, the non-alcoholic beer in the foreground comes from the local brewery.

Hier ruht sanft ... und die Zeit rast weiter.
(Here lies in peace... and time marches on. #HistoryMeetsModern)

When Caroline Mensing was laid to rest at the Neustadt Cemetery in 1850, #Hannover was a different world. No cars, no concrete, no internet. Today, her headstone looks out upon the Conti Tower at the University of Hannover - a symbol of modernity that has itself grown old over the years, something she could never have imagined. A place of mourning has become a city park where life passes her by.

Inscription on the gravestone: Here sleeps peacefully our beloved sister Caroline Mensing, born on November 27, 1802, died on October 9, 1850.

Inschrift auf dem Grabstein: Hier ruht sanft unsere geliebte Schwester Caroline Mensing. Geboren am 27ten November 1802. Gestorben am 9ten October 1850.
