The Stadtarchiv Hannover is the city archive for the German city of Hannover and the largest municipal archive in Lower Saxony. Originating before 1300 and still with strong medieval holdings, its collects documents produced by the mayor, city council and bureaucracy. Its earliest surviving document dates to 1241 and the only pre-modern gap in its records results from the Knochenhauer-Amtshaus fire of 1428. The catalogue was stored offsite during World War Two and survived, though building registry documents were destroyed by firebombing in 1943. A flash flood in 1946 also destroyed 19th century documents.
