At the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the Electorate was enlarged to become the capital of the Kingdom of Hanover. In addition to being the capital of Lower Saxony, Hanover was the capital of the administrative area <i>Regierungsbezirk Hannover</i> (<i>Hanover region</i>) until Lower Saxony's administrative regions were disbanded at the beginning of 2005. Since 2001 it is part of the Hanover district (<i>Region Hannover</i>), which is a municipal body made up from the former district (<i>Landkreis Hannover</i>) and city of Hanover (note: although both <i>Region</i> and <i>Landkreis</i> are translated as <i>district</i> they are not the same). </p> <p>With a population of 509,485 (31 December 2011) the city is a major centre of northern Germany, known for hosting annual commercial trade fairs such as the Hanover Fair and the CeBIT. Every year Hanover hosts the Schützenfest Hannover, the world's largest marksmen's festival, and the Oktoberfest Hannover, the second largest Oktoberfest in the world (beside Oktoberfest of Blumenau). In 2000, Hanover hosted the world fair Expo 2000. The Hanover fairground, due to numerous extensions, especially for the Expo 2000, is the largest in the world. Hanover is also of national importance because of its universities and medical school, its international airport, and its large zoo. The city is also a major crossing point of railway lines and highways (Autobahnen), connecting European main lines in east-west-direction (Berlin - Ruhr area) and north-south-direction (Hamburg - Munich et al.). </p> </div> <p class="license">Content on this page is licensed under <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">CC-BY-SA</a> from the authors of the following Wikipedia pages: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20twin%20towns%20and%20sister%20cities%20in%20Germany" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">List of twin towns and sister cities in Germany</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanover" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">Hanover</a>.
