Aegidientorplatz
The Aegidientorplatz, colloquially known as ''Aegi'' is a busy square in Hanover located above the U-bahn station of the same name. The square was named for the Aegidientor, one of the city gates of Medieval Hanover, which existed until 1780.

From the Middle Ages, the Aegidientor was the southeastern gate in the civic fortifications of Hanover. The name - occasionally also written as ''Egidien Thor'' - derived from the nearby Aegidienkirche. The road from Hildesheim entered the city through this gate. The settlement of Eddingerode stood before the door; established in the ninth century, it later fell into ruin.
The gate was first built in 1307. A multi-story inner tower-gate, with a passageway, stood in the middle of ''Breiten Straße'' (Broad Street). During the renovation of the city walls in 1504, a ward was built outside the walls, right next to the outer gatehouse (roughly in the middle of the modern Aegidientorplatz). After that, visitors entered the city by passing over the moat on a drawbridge, through the outer gatehouse, over a second bridge and through the inner gate. This arrangement was removed in the dismantling of the civic fortifications from 1763. Today there is a plaque at 7/10 Breite Straße, marking the former location of the medieval inner tower-gate. The tower had been demolished in 1748, by mayor Christian Ulrich Grupen in order to build the Aegidienneustadt.
