History and description

"The striking corner building" with its seven floors and two basement levels for car - parking was originally from 1975 to 1976 as a new building for the management of the German DKV Health Insurance erected. Architects of the 1970s - reinforced concrete - framed building was for a architectural competition Planning Group found for Construction and Urban Gustav Schröder, Jan Peters, Hans Uhlenbusch and Karl Otto Sander, based in Hanover. They designed the 7-storey building with two to three levels staggered around various inner courtyards with internal staircases in the core area. They hung a dark brown anodized aluminum facade in front of the reinforced concrete skeleton . The structural focus was oriented towards the upstream fountain square with the so-called Klagesmarkt fountain .

DKV as building owner used the majority of the building for many years for its own administration, while the ground floor is a convenience store was located. Before the redesign of the total usable area of ​​around 9060 m², around 95% of the building was rented, including to the State of Lower Saxony and Leibniz Universität Hannover .

In 2016, MEAG, as the asset manager for the insurers Münchener Rück and Ergo, sold the property to Gesellschaft für Bauen und Wohnen Hannover (GBH), which also operates as a real estate service provider under the hanova brand . From the beginning, the GBH planned to convert office space into additional living space for young people such as trainees and especially students , especially since the building is located diagonally across from the Christ Church in the immediate vicinity of Leibniz University . With the redesign, the GBH also continued its longstanding commitment to the “welcoming culture for international students” in the state capital of Hanover.

With conversion costs of around 20 million euros, a total of 98 “micro-apartments” are to be built on a total living space of 4729 m², 15 of which are handicapped accessible, each with an area of ​​around 26 m² including a built-in pantry .

In cooperation with MBN Bau AG as a construction company, which had to manage logistics in a confined space for the order, the supermarket premises should be restored as soon as possible after the gutting and extensive pollutant remediation. In addition, supply facilities such as a bakery, laundromat and exhibition space are planned on the ground floor. After the completion of the new structure was initially expected in the summer of 2019, completion was later announced for the end of 2019.

The building, which is divided into cubes, refers in its facade and its coloring to the Christ Church opposite.
