Hanover shines
Hannover shines is a light art festival in Hanover , which took place for the first time in November 2018 on four evenings. During the festival , various buildings, landmarks and objects will be staged on several evenings using light art projections, illuminations and video mapping . The event is the first light art festival in the city of Hanover and the largest in Lower Saxony. According to different statements, the Festival of Lights in Berlin and Berlin Leuchtet served as a model .
When Hannover Lights was held for the first time , 11 objects designated as points of light were artistically illuminated. These included the Landesfunkhaus Niedersachsen , the St. Clemens Basilica , the Marktkirche , the Aegidienkirche , the Kröpcke-Uhr , the Lower Saxony State Museum , the HDI-Arena , the Hanover Opera House , the Goseriede at the Nikolaikapelle , a double-decker bus on the Opernplatz and a " Light shower "at the Maschsee . Several objects were optically connected to one another by laser beams to orient the visitors .
The light festival was planned by a lighting technology company from Garbsen and implemented together with light artists. It was financed through donations and sponsors whose buildings were illuminated. Part of the income went to aid projects in the Hanover region , such as the HAZ Christmas aid .
At the first light art festival in 2018, the number of visitors was estimated at up to 80,000 people. Another event was planned for November 2019, in which even more buildings were to be included. For financial reasons, however, the organizers postponed the light art festival to 2020.
