In the Kingdom of Hanover , the Hanoverian Minister Caspar David von Schulte commissioned the court builder Laves to build his house. Laves built the villa in 1824 in the classicism style . Bella Vista (“beautiful view”) got its name because a glass viewing pavilion was installed on the roof .

The Hanoverian State and Finance Minister Caspar Detlev von Schulte , father of the court painter Auguste von Schulte , also lived here during his time in Hanover.

After the owner's death, the widow sold the property to the city of Hanover in 1850 , which set up the building and grounds as a restaurant and entertainment establishment , albeit with moderate success. It was only after the German-German War and the annexation of the kingdom by Prussia that there was greater success after 1866 with the tenant Karl Röpcke .

At the time of the German Empire , a dance hall was added to the building in 1886 and a rotunda for the music band for the garden concerts. Since then, the symphony concerts of the band of the 73rd Regiment , large-scale fireworks and Lower Saxony folk festivals have met with great approval . The ascent of hot air balloons , an asphalt roller-skating rink and - initially - the meetings of the veterans of the Battle of Langensalza in 1866 were also popular.

In 1895, the bicycle wholesaler Friedrich C. Wagener opened a cycling school in Bella Vista with a specially set up practice track for the summer months, before the entrepreneur and cyclist ran a winter cycling school in the Nordstädter Gesellschaftshaus in 1897 .

After the First World War , the restaurant went downhill. In the Weimar Republic , the property was converted into a youth home in 1921 .

After the seizure of power that worked Nazis the building in 1936 in a "school leader" of the Hitler Youth to. The Bella Vista was destroyed in the bombing war in 1943.

During the reconstruction , a new building for the Ratsgymnasium was built on the site of the former landscape garden from 1952 to 1954 by the architects Werner Dierschke and A. Bätjer (Hannover City Building Authority) . When the construction work was completed in 1954, the Bella Vista promenade was laid out, which leads from the former Waterloostrasse to the Schützenhausweg at the old Bella Vista bridge .

After the incorporation of the Ratsgymnasium in 1994 into the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gymnasium in the Seelhorststraße , the International School Hannover Region was relocated here in 2002 .
