    The church was not rebuilt as a memorial after the air raids in 1943. Hiroshima is Hanover's twin city and donated the bell that hangs here in 1985.

      The Aegidienkirche is a church in Hanover that was built in the 14th century. The easternmost of the three old town churches (the other two are the Marktkirche and Kreuzkirche) was named after Saint Giles, one of the 14 helpers in need. It is located in the old town near the Aegidientorplatz on the corner of Breite Straße and Osterstraße. In 1943, the church was destroyed by bombs during the air raids on Hanover. The church was not rebuilt; its ruins now serve as a memorial to the victims of war and violence.
