==History== The city of Hanover was not part of the district until 2001, when the old Hanover District ({{lang|de|Landkreis Hannover}}) and the city then known officially as District-free City of Hanover ({{lang|de|kreisfreie Stadt Hannover}}){{cn |date=July 2022}} were merged in order to form the new Hanover Region district, not to be confused with the former [[Hanover (region)|governmental district of Hanover]] ({{lang|de|Regierungsbezirk Hannover}}). During [[World War II]], Hanover was the headquarters ({{langx|de|Hauptquartier|label=none}}) of Military District XI ({{lang|de|Wehrkreis XI}}), which was responsible for [[Braunschweig]], [[Anhalt]], and part of Hanover. It was also the garrison town for the [[71st Infantry Division (Wehrmacht)|71st Infantry Division]] of the [[German Army (1935β1945)|German Army]].
