The former Principality of Calenberg in the Hannover area is the homeland of our Höfer . In the west it is bounded by the middle Weser , in the east by the middle and lower Leine . In the north, it extends from heathland, the meadows and moors of the northern German lowlands to the foothills of the German low mountain range in the south.
