Höver is a district of the town of Sehnde , southeast of Hanover in Lower Saxony .
history
The first documentary mention comes from the year 1250 when the place was still called Hoverden (or Höverden). This later became Höver. The place is in the historical settlement area of the Great Free .
In 1494 the chapel was built. It was a fortified church with 80 cm thick walls that had loopholes. Inside there are still two paintings by the painter Heinrich Plühr, who was born in Berkum and grew up in Höver .
In 1907/08 the Alemania cement works was built as part of the cement industry near Hanover . The basis for this were large deposits of marl limestone underground, which were mined in open-cast mining. In 1931 the Alemania plant came to the "Norddeutsche Portland-Cementfabriken AG" based in Misburg . After the Second World War , the plant was considerably expanded and modernized, so that from 1973 it was the most powerful of its kind in Germany with a daily output of 3,000 t. In 1964 the company name changed to "Nordcement AG", which was then taken over by "Alsen AG". Today the cement plant belongs to the Swiss company Holcim AG. The place is characterized by the cement industry through the processing plants with their high silo towers and the deep pits around the place for the extraction of the light marl. There are even transport routes for material across town. The location directly on the Mittelland Canal facilitates the removal of the cement produced.
In 1928, the Reich President Paul von Hindenburg inaugurated the Anderten - Peine section of the Mittelland Canal . Today's Anderten lock, a few kilometers to the west, was named after him. The cement used in it comes exclusively from the Höver cement works.
In 1897 the tram line from Hanover to Haimar was opened, which led via Anderten through Höver to Ilten and Sehnde and was closed in 1960. Freight traffic took place on it until 1953, which gave the cement works a siding.
In the course of the regional reform, Höver became a district of the municipality on March 1, 1974, today the town of Sehnde.

Höver was the seat of an Evangelical Lutheran chapel congregation, which was closed on February 1, 2012. The legal successor was the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Ilten.
