Mews Gate

Mews Gate is a stone gate in Hannover featuring a grand archway and historic details on its facade. The structure displays the coat of arms of King George I and serves as a notable landmark connecting key areas of the old town.

The gate was built in 1714 by architect Remy de la Fosse as the entrance to the Alter Marstall, a former riding hall. It was relocated in the mid-20th century to replace another historic passage and take its present position in the city.

The gate recalls a former stable complex and the period when Hannover was connected to British rule. Visitors can still see the royal symbols displayed on the facade, which reflect this distinctive relationship between the city and the British crown.

The gate stands between two main streets in the city center and is easy to reach on foot. The location offers good accessibility and is near museums and other points of interest.

The gate was completely relocated and reconstructed in its present position during the 1960s while preserving its original architectural elements. This relocation was needed to replace another historic passage, yet the craftsmanship of the original construction remained intact.
