Hello Barbie,
none of this pleaces is near the town of Hannover, the place I spoke of.
There are a few places in Germany, which can be the places you talk about. There
are Bernberg, Bernburg, Wittenberg, Wittenberge, Wittenburg, Marienberg,
Marienburg, etc. But I found no region, where all of this places are near
together. Maybe you can sent me your photograph and I will try to identify the
places.
With my best wishes,
Gunter
