history

After the then sovereign , Duke Georg von Calenberg , declared the old town of Hanover to be his new residence by unilateral declaration of will in 1636 - in the middle of the Thirty Years' War , the relocation of some of the farms in the village of Herrenhausen began in the 1630s . It was replaced in 1646 by a farm yard belonging to Herrenhausen Castle, which served to supply the castle, soon with stables for cows and mules as well as accommodation for shepherds and bird catchers .

After the elevation to the electorate of Hanover and the beginning of the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover , the dairy - and with it the building that is still preserved today - was rebuilt in 1736 by the chief architect Johann Paul Heumann . Almost half a century later, it was converted into a carriage house for the Royal British touring and splendid carriages, which were now stored in the elongated half-timbered building. It was only towards the end of the Kingdom of Hanover in the middle of the 20th century that the dairy was abandoned and partly used as a residential building.

After the Second World War , Herrenhäuser Strasse 7 belonged for decades to the city's own society for building and living (GBH), which sold the building to a fund company at the beginning of the 21st century . For a long time, the new owner hardly took care of the maintenance of the building, the tenants "[...] never found a contact on the landlord's side". 2,015 residents were then surprising and at the same time the report of a Baustatikers the termination of the leases on the grounds that a full repair of the building was not feasible in the current operation.

The building was renovated until 2017, ten so-called townhouses were built.
