history
The Ohrberg belongs to the lands of the Ohr in Ohr manor , which has been owned by the von Hake family since 1307 . For a long time, the mountain served as forest pasture and wood . Christian Ludewig von Hake , who headed the royal court building and gardening office in Hanover since 1779, began to design the Ohrberg as a park at the end of the 18th century . From 1817 Georg Adolf von Hake converted the southern area of the mountain into a landscape park , today's Ohrbergpark.
During the Second World War , an aerial bomb hit the northern part of the mountain in 1940 without causing any major damage. The Ohrberg and its parks have been under landscape protection since 1936 . The von Hake family, who still own the gardens today, are responsible for maintaining the park.
