The oldest known route in the course of today's street was built at the time of the Electorate of Hanover around 1750 as a so-called "Umfuhr" on the outside of the medieval city ​​fortifications of Hanover . During the reign of the Kingdom of Hanover , the street was named Artilleriestraße in 1845 because it was located at the former artillery barracks at the Steintor . The newly developed road was part of the royal court architect of George Ludwig Friedrich Laves planned Ernst-August-city and was also the 1845 scale Kanalstraße with Georgstraße connected after previously the ramparts were demolished.

Between 1861 and 1864, the architect Ludwig Droste had built the City Packhof on Artilleriestraße on behalf of the city of Hanover and due to its proximity to the main train station .

After the proclamation of the German Empire and during the so-called Wilhelminian era , the building of the street proceeded rapidly, but initially with only low buildings. According to an advertisement in the address book of the city of Hanover from 1880 operating about Emil Mühlenpfordt in Artilleriestraße 10 there his three -story "Hanover Auction bingo halls" with coach houses and stables , where the transport horses and horse-drawn vehicles could be parked.

Coachmen could relax and eat there, around 1900 at the entrance to Artilleriestrasse opposite the Gänselieselbrunnen in the Gasthof zur rauhen Mütze . The Mellini Theater , built according to plans by Theodor Hecht and H. Siepmann , took care of other entertainment options on Artilleriestrasse from 1889 onwards .

The building at Herschelstrasse 1 , erected by Emil Lorenz until 1896, is now used by the Central Police Station
Around 1898 by Albrecht Haupt : Building of the Mercur private city letter expedition in the style of historicism on the corner of Andreaestrasse

The architect Emil Lorenz built the building at the corner of Herschelstrasse 1 as a “municipal office building” in neo -Gothic style from 1894 to 1896 , which took up the motifs of the older, formerly diagonally opposite house of the architect August Heinrich Andreae , after which Andreaestrasse was part of "Extended Herschelstrasse" had already been renamed in 1847.

The Mercur Privat-Stadtbrief-Expedition still collected their mail by means of horse-drawn carriages, but in 1896 it was able to move into its own building on Artilleriestrasse, which was now five stories high in the historicist style, also on the corner of Andreaestrasse .

Stumbling blocks for the Adolf, Fredi and Fanny Goldfinger family in front of Kurt-Schumacher-Straße 31 near the Nordmannpassage

At the time of National Socialism , disenfranchised Jews were also victims of Artilleriestraße , as the stumbling blocks for the Adolf, Fredi and Fanny Goldfinger families in front of Kurt-Schumacher-Straße 31 near the Nordmannpassage testify.

During the Second World War , around 50 percent of the city and around 85 percent of the city center were destroyed by aerial bombs in the air raids on Hanover . This also affected a large part of Artilleriestrasse.

After 1945

Even in the post-war period , historical buildings on Artilleriestrasse, such as the partially destroyed Mellini Theater, disappeared due to demolition .

In 1953 Artilleriestrasse was renamed Kurt-Schumacher-Strasse . Since August 30, 1953, the tram also ran between the main train station and Steintor in Kurt-Kchumacher-Strasse, until then it ran through Schillerstrasse and Nordmannstrasse. The road was rebuilt from the 1950s, partly with functional buildings of the time. A design highlight, which also serves a practical purpose, was the stop by Alessandro Mendini for the Hanover tram, set up by Üstra as part of the BUSSTOPS art project .

The Ernst-August-Galerie marks the beginning of Kurt-Schumacher-Straße

However, after the turn of the millennium (2001) another historic, neo-baroque building was demolished for the construction of the Ernst-August-Galerie .

In 2014, the renovation work on the D-line of the light rail began in the street as part of the controversial project Ten and Seventeen . Shortly before the western end of Kurt-Schumacher-Straße, the new barrier-free tram stop Hauptbahnhof / Rosenstraße was put into operation in September 2017, replacing the previous ground-level stop Hauptbahnhof (at Ernst-August-Platz). In December 2018, the previous ground-level Steintor stop at the western end of Kurt-Schumacher-Straße was replaced by a barrier-free Steintor stop in Münzstraße.
