The Hanoverian heritage refers to the historical lineage and cultural contributions of the House of Hanover, a German royal dynasty. This family rose to prominence in the early 18th century when George I became King of Great Britain in 1714, marking the beginning of the Hanoverian succession in British monarchy. The dynasty played a significant role in shaping British politics and society during its reign. The Hanoverian influence extended beyond politics, impacting art, architecture, and culture. Notable examples include the construction of Hanover's royal palaces and gardens, which reflect the Baroque style. The legacy of the Hanoverians continues to be felt in both Germany and the United Kingdom today.
