I'm not a real expert, [livejournal.com profile] vyvyan can explain it probably in more detail than me (I'm not a historic linguist, I just use languages ;o). Variants of Low German is still spoken in some areas, particularly the North Sea coast. There's a wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_German) that explains it far better than I could.

"High German" is simply a name for a standard German.
The people from and around Hannover are supposed to speak the cleanest German.
