Logistics Region Hanover

Hanover sits at the crossing of Germany's main east-west and north-south routes. The North Sea ports, Berlin, the Ruhr and Rhine-Main are within a few hours, making the region a pivot of national supply chains.

Location and access

The A2 and A7 cross at Hanover, supplemented by the A37 and A352. MegaHub Lehrte is one of Europe's most modern intermodal terminals. The Mittelland Canal ports allow trimodal handling, and the airport covers air cargo and express.

Demand

Automotive, suppliers and mechanical engineering shape the region, and major retailers are based nearby. Logistics providers and e-commerce use Hanover as a platform for northern, eastern and western Germany. The defence industry in Lower Saxony adds demand for central space.

Clusters

Lehrte and Sehnde east of the city are the most important cluster, with the MegaHub and the motorway interchange. The canal ports host many distribution centres. Langenhagen concentrates air cargo, Laatzen and Hildesheim sit on the A7, Garbsen and Wunstorf on the A2, Peine to the east.

Outlook

E-commerce, nearshoring and the transformation of the automotive industry drive demand for modern space. Defence adds a long-term occupier group. New builds rely on ESG standards and solar power, and universities and research push automation.

„Like few other locations, the Hanover logistics region combines a central position, excellent infrastructure and sustainable prospects. For investors and occupiers of logistics real estate, Hanover is both a safe haven and a growth market.“
