About the courtyard.
The aufhof is much more than an experiment: a new departure, the chance to try something new and help revitalize the city centre. Thanks to the owner SIGNA, we have the opportunity to use the vacant space in a flexible and citizen-oriented way. The events are organized in cooperation with the state capital of Hanover, Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts and hannoverimpuls.
The location.
Let yourself be inspired. Whether for digital nomads or retro fans - there are no limits to the variety at aufhof. In our exhibition rooms you will find fun, technology, creativity and education in one place.
