At the Puttenser field

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
House Am Puttenser Felde 8, right next to house no.7

Am Puttenser Felde is a 100 meter long street in the Hanover district of Nordstadt . The north side of the street is built with multi-storey residential buildings, on the south side of the street there are institutes of Leibniz University Hannover in the building of the former thermal power station with its striking tower. The street name is reminiscent of the village Puttenhusen, which was abandoned in the 14th century.

Puttenhusen

Puttenhusen (later also Puttensen ) was first mentioned in a document in 1022. At that time, as elsewhere around Hanover, there were properties of the Hildesheim Michaeliskloster from the legacy of Bishop Bernward von Hildesheim . Puttenhusen was close to today's Kornstraße, the name "Putten" (puddle) indicates a neighboring wetland, which the street name "Im Moore" is reminiscent of.

Puttensen was mentioned for the last time in 1360, later abandoned and desolate , similar to Schöneworth .

The remaining population, spared from the plague and war, probably moved to the city of Hanover in order to continue to cultivate part of the old field from there as arable citizens.

In the middle of the 16th century a Jewish burial place was built on the "Sandberg am Puttenser Felde", the old Jewish cemetery . The Puttenser Windmill was built on a neighboring hill in 1675/78 at the location of today's Technical Information Library , not far from it, King George I left the castle for Countess Sophie von Platen-Hallermund on the "Puttenser Berge", a former dune , from 1717 to 1721 Build Montbrillant and create a garden in the “French style”, today's Welfengarten . In the course of the expansion of the garden around 1750, the peat of the moor was covered with sand from the surrounding dune tops.

The "Puttenser Feld" was located south of the former moor in the triangle of Montbrillant Castle , the Old Jewish Cemetery, closed in 1863, and Herrenhäuser Allee .

History of the road

In 1845 the garden path got its current name. The path was partly made with garden houses on developed plots and served as a connection from Nienburger Straße to the old Jewish cemetery. From the originally rural settlement by the petty bourgeoisie and " garden cossacks " of the Steintorgarten community , only the garden house from 1820 has survived.

After the demolition of Montbrillant Castle in 1857 and the construction of the Welfenschloss , the development of the western northern part of the city as a residential area for the upper middle class and the development of the garden properties along the Georgengarten began .

After the royal stables , which were built from 1863 to 1866 and turned towards the castle and then used by the Königs-Uhlans , interrupted the old route east of the park, the greater part of the street “Am Puttenserfeld” became “Parkstrasse” in 1865, and in 1936 “Wilhelm -Busch-Straße “was renamed. Before 1900, houses for ordinary people were built on the remaining piece of “Am Puttenser Felde” behind the Marstall.

At the end of the street the oldest and at the same time smallest houses with the house numbers 7 and 8. They were the living and working place of smaller craftsmen and carters . The fronts of the houses on sandstone plinths, which are set far back, are characterized by the interrelated structure by means of diaphragm houses and brick ornamentation . The sides have plastered framework . In front of the buildings, the owners built simple stables for horses and carriages, and later also for automobiles. This situation has persisted in front of house number 7 to this day.

Shortly before 1900, houses number 5 and 6 were built as apartment buildings. The rear building and side wing are the older parts of the building. The raw brick buildings are grouped around a courtyard that is only a few meters wide and hardly allows sunlight to penetrate. In contrast, the banisters are lavishly turned. The exposed steel girders for the landing with their inscriptions indicate the construction times of the building: " Peiner Walzwerke 1894".

The somewhat younger front houses ("Peiner Walzwerke 1895") were provided with narrow front gardens, which anticipated the evacuation of the streets. The largely unplastered, three-storey buildings at the front are decorated sparingly. Some of them have glazed bricks and sandstone bands that emphasize the longitudinal alignment.

Only the corner house at Am Kleinen Felde 1 from 1897 with a view of the Old Jewish Cemetery has the living comfort of the former middle class. There used to be a retail store on the ground floor.

Former heating power plant of the University of Hanover

In 1913, the three northern wing of the stables were demolished and by the thermal power station of the University of Hanover and the machine-engineering laboratory replaced. The former south-eastern horse stable, which was converted into a cafeteria from 1922 to 1960 , was only demolished in 1960. The building of the former thermal power station is now the seat of the "Institute for Machine Design and Tribology", the "Institute for Technical Combustion" and the "Department 3 - Building Management" of Leibniz University Hannover.

As an example of the many "dirty children" in the poor people's quarter, the Spiegel co- founder Leo Brawand drew a study of the milieu around the Damme based on his own childhood from 1926 in his autobiographical story Die Menschen vom Damme (meaning his later residence on Engelbosteler Damm ) Houses on the Puttenser Felde:

In house number 7, the Brawand family lived without a father, four of them in a 2-room attic apartment without electricity. The single mother of Leo Brawand worked - in spite of "support" from the welfare office - secretly and blackly at the washing trough and as a cleaning aid, in order to "get out of the dead end" with the savings and the children and into the "better area" at Engelbosteler Damm 119 ( today number 45). In the courtyard of house number 7 there was an outhouse for all residents.

During the Second World War , houses 3 and 4 were damaged by bombs and torn down. House number 2 was built in the 1960s. Behind the entrance door there is a former garage, as the client had to provide enough parking spaces.

Ownership

At the end of the 20th century, most of the buildings were owned by the Leibniz University of Hanover , which wanted to demolish the buildings in order to expand the university's operations. As a result, rental and lease agreements were concluded and renovations were carried out in self-help by the residents of the “Putti”, supported by associations such as “Baukasten eV”. Finally, the state of Lower Saxony offered the houses for sale.

In 2003 the houses with the numbers 5, 6 and 6A and the open space of the former houses 3 and 4 were acquired from the state by the housing association "WOGE Nordstadt eG", founded in 1988. A concept had previously been developed with the user association and current tenant "Putti nonstop eV", which included repairs and partial modernization through the residents' own contributions and self-administration .
