Herrenhausen is an area of the German city Hanover which is most notable for the baroque Herrenhausen Gardens.

Ernest Augustus, Elector of Brunswick-Lüneburg died in Herrenhausen Palace, and his grandson King George II of Great Britain was born there. During the Second World War the palace was completely destroyed in a British bombing on October 18, 1943. The decision to rebuild the palace was not made until 2007, and reconstruction was completed in 2013.
