Sustainable Shopping in Hannover

People in Hannover are also increasingly opting for conscious consumption and resource-efficient, locally sourced products rather than fast-fashion items or food packaged in unnecessary plastic. The "Fashion born in Hannover" initiative, for example, is a coalition of various regional labels from Hannover that produce and sell sustainable products.

Hannover Gin

Experience Germany’s only four-story gin distillery up close in the heart of Hanover, featuring a biodiverse rooftop and vertical garden. Joerma Biernath also distills his gin as a non-alcoholic version, vodka, and 70% absinthe, and has won over 14 national and international awards. As a city farmer—drawing on over 70 years of family botanical expertise—he sources the perfect flavors partly from herbs grown in his own urban plantations, which help counteract urban heat island effects. The plantations also contribute to the “sponge city,” an innovative approach to urban development that aims to make cities more resilient to the effects of climate change.

The original Hannover Gin Distillery Tour (bookable online), which includes a gin tasting, takes you to the “Distillery Treasure Chamber,” where hand-selected gin barrels with their unique aromatic profiles await. You can smell, touch, and taste the botanicals in the Hannover Gin Botanical Library—one of the largest collections of botanicals in Germany.
