History and description

End of the 1950 year

In the post-war period , the architect Hans Jaeckel designed a corner building complex with strictly structured facades on behalf of Bayer AG as the client. The construction work was the responsibility of Gundlach Bau und Immobilien . The slightly offset, nine-storey tower at the confluence with Aegidientorplatz is modeled on a gatehouse that monitors the approach from the east into the center of the Lower Saxony state capital. The long arcade is a special feature , "because it is one of the very few of its kind in Hanover."

In the period from 2002 to 2003, the Lower Saxony state development company NILEG had the Bayer building with its office and business units converted and renovated in sections with the help of the architectural office stricker architekten bda . During ongoing operations - in addition to the modernization of the previously existing retail space on the ground floor - the entire administration building was divided into individual office units. Individual units were connected to one another over several floors by installing internal stairs. The former canteen area of Bayer AG was also converted into office space. The then client invested a total of around 2.0 million euros.
