Hallo wbl,
there is no Hextor in Germany, only Höxter (Hoexter).
Höxter has no relations neither to Hannover nor to Braunschweig. It is situated on the river Weser in the former Provinz Westfalen (Westphalia) of Preussen (Prussia).
The city of Braunschweig was the capital of the duchy of Braunschweig, the city of Hannover was the capital of the kingdom of Hannover. The kingdom of Hannover existed until 1866, then it belongs to Preussen until 1945 (Provinz Hannover). After 1945 the Provinz Hannover, the land (former duchy) Braunschweig and other territories formed the Land Niedersachsen.
All clear?
