Every two years in November, Leibniz University Hannover opens its doors to visitors for a whole evening.

Take a look behind the scenes of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodetic Science - with guided tours, lectures and exhibitions.

Children and adults are invited to slip into the role of a civil engineer or a geodesist during hands-on activities.

Looking back: Nacht, die Wissen schafft 2025

Insights into civil and environmental engineering:

  •  The Leonardo bridge
  • Old bridges – demolition or refurbishment?
  •  How the sponge city works
