Natural spatial requirements and topographical conditions are treated as well as politics, administration, economy, society, religion, construction, traffic, law, culture, education and science.

Biographical information on individual persons and entire families was mainly taken from the Hanoverian Biographical Lexicon (HBL) and supplemented by individual personalities who were born or deceased in Hanover. Immigrants who have achieved important things in or outside the city are also included in the lexicon. Connections with the history of Lower Saxony were also taken into account.

The lexicon is illustrated with pictures from the Historical Museum .

In the appendix to the lexicon you will find information on usage, a list of alphanumeric abbreviations, a list of literature cited in abbreviated form, and a list of editors and authors with a short biography. The authors of the Stadtlexikon Hannover are among others Eva Benz-Rababah , Dirk Böttcher , Hans Otte , Ines Katenhusen and Gerd van den Heuvel .
