Location of the artillery barracks at the Steintor in Lower Saxony

The artillery barracks at the Steintor in Hanover was a barracks built in 1838 for the artillery , especially the NCOs . Its site at the Steintor stretched from Münzstraße at the Lange Laube along Goseriede and from Georgstraße and Artilleriestraße (today: Kurt-Schumacher-Straße ) with an almost rectangular parade ground to (today's) Kanalstraße . The entire complex was acquired by Ferdinand Wallbrecht in 1876 in exchange for the military facilities he had built in the Vahrenwalder Heide and then converted and built over diagonally by him with the new construction of Nordmannstrasse with residential and commercial buildings.

history

After Ernst August moved into the city in 1837 to ascend the throne of the Kingdom of Hanover , another military building was built in the royal seat in 1838 : the artillery barracks for the NCOs was built by the master builder Christian Adolf Vogell at the Steintor on the site of the sovereign piece foundry , which was previously after Stade had been relocated. The barracks were lined up in an extensive complex of military facilities , which stretched from Waterlooplatz via the Hofmarställe Am Hohen Ufer and the facilities in front of the Clevertor to Königsworther Platz and further west was supplemented by the barracks on Welfenplatz .

After the German War and the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia in 1866, the " Military Riding School " was moved from Schwedt an der Oder to Hanover in 1867 and initially in two parts - as a training company and a "Military Riding Institute" housed in the stables on the Hohe Ufer and in the artillery barracks at the Steintor.

For the merging of the two parts of the "Military Riding Institute", the director of building Eduard Schuster and the architect and contractor Ferdinand Wallbrecht designed new buildings in 1875/76, which Wallbrecht then erected outside the city area, on the then almost undeveloped Stader Chaussee ( around today's Vahrenwalder Park between Vahrenwalder Straße , Husaren-, Dragoner- and Isernhagener Straße ).

Eventually Wallbrecht "exchanged" the buildings he built near Vahrenwald for what would later become the military riding institute , in return received the old buildings from the Hofmarstable on Hohen Ufer to the artillery barracks at Steintor and then converted them into halls and commercial buildings.

Building description

The artillery barracks at the Steintor was altogether a square plastered building in the arched style of the Ernst August era . The front of the building faced Nikolaistrasse (today: Goseriede ) and encompassed a horseshoe-shaped courtyard. The single-storey central wing was characterized by a risalit with a high, round-arched portal and a coat of arms with artillery emblems created by the sculptor Ernst von Bandel . The side wings consisted of a raised ground floor and an upper floor and each ended with a square, three- story pavilion with a flat pyramid roof .

A lithograph by Georg Osterwald is dated around 1840 , seen from the point of view of the (later built) Anzeiger high-rise building with a view towards the Rauhe Mütze inn and the tower of the Kreuzkirche

According to Arnold Nöldeke (see literature) Paul Siedentopf published a photograph of the barracks demolished in 1876 in the address book of the city of Hanover from 1929 ; the photo was found in the city archive of Hanover . Ibid in “Folder V” as “Sheet 34” there was a photo of the portal with a frontispiece and the coat of arms of Ernst von Bandel.
