Like any other city, there a places in Hannover which are best avoided after dark as a single woman, like the city centre after shop closing, the area behind the main station and certain residential areas. Public transport is safe, even late at night.

Steintor, Linden and near main Station are the unsafe places. But morning and afternoon is it ok. Sometimes there are drunken guys in main Station at night, but as Hannover is a big city, there are always passer-by.

Most people are nice and you can feel Safe in public Transfer but as a Girl you should Not Walk Alone at Night in small darf Streets. Stay in places where a lot of people are. Germany is Safe but here are also Bad people like in every Country

I found it extremely safe. I've been comfortable with public transport and walking around, even during winter nights.

Hannover is a very big City and the place where you should go and do sightseeing are very safe. There are maybe 2 or 3 places i would not go after dark but if you are with a group or a friend you dont have to worry about crazy stranger or drunk people. They will mind their own business
