Brüggemannhof

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Only on Schloßwender Straße does the Brüggemannhof present itself with a monumental facade

The Brüggemannhof in Hanover is a small residential complex built at the beginning of the 20th century and now a listed building from the time of reform housing . The building complex owned by the Hanoverian housing cooperative Spar- und Bauverein is located on an irregular, almost three-sided plot of land that is bordered on two sides by the streets Am Judenkirchhof and Schloßwender Strasse in the Nordstadt district .

history

prehistory

Outside of the medieval city ​​fortifications of Hanover , so-called "garden communities" had formed from the fields and gardens bordering the city, which had gradually passed into the possession of Hanoverian citizens since the 14th century . Since the 16th century, they leased their land to petty bourgeoisie , who then, as so-called gardeners, also horticulture in front of the Steintor . In this Steintorgarten community , Hanover's oldest industrial company , the "Royal-privileged oilcloth maker at the (old) Jewish cemetery in front of the Steinthore" founded in 1718 (today: Benecke-Kaliko ), built a new factory in 1846 : three years after the construction of the first railway line in the Kingdom of Hanover - from (today's) main train station to Lehrte - the era of industrialization began in the (later so named) district of Nordstadt . From the time before 1900, a view of the factory in the possession of Benecke-Kaliko documents the factory premises between the (now listed) garden house and the former JC König & Ebhardt printing works, newly built in 1874 on Schloßwender Straße .

From 1900

After the premises were no longer sufficient for the JH Benecke company , the company moved to a newly built production center in Vinnhorst in 1901 . On the abandoned company site of JH Benecke in Nordstadt, the way was now clear for residential development for the rapidly growing urban population: After the housing cooperative Spar- und Bauverein had been founded in 1885 due to the general housing shortage in Hanover , it commissioned the architect Franz Hoffmann to follow up whose plans the small residential complex was built in two construction phases: During the times of the German Empire up to the First World War , the southern wing of the Schloßwender Garten complex was first built from 1912 to 1915 , while the north wing at the Judenkirchhof was only built during the Weimar Republic and - partly at the height of German hyperinflation - from 1922 to 1924 could be completed. The mostly 3 and 4 room apartments were - by no means taken for granted at the time - with internal bathrooms and toilets right from the start .

After Heinrich Brüggemann died on January 14, 1947 , the long-time chairman of the savings and construction association and a veteran of the labor movement , the settlement complex was renamed Brüggemannhof in March of that year .

Until the 1980s, the Brüggemannhof was also the administrative seat of the savings and construction association.

Building description

On the irregular, almost triangular property, which is only adjacent to streets in two places, a total of 22 four-, “five-story houses at the emphasized corner points [...] with an inner courtyard divided by projections and recesses were built along the property boundaries small, self-contained areas ”. The “homely architecture” ( homeland style ) of the facades with their loggias , half-timbered houses , arcades and figurative architectural sculptures are largely oriented towards the green inner courtyard, from which figures from the craftsman's life can be seen. According to "a contemporary meeting", the architecture set pieces of the plastered buildings should support the idea of ​​" small-town living in pre-industrial times" and remind of the "local architectural style as in the old towns of Hanover or Hildesheim ". The building complex only presents itself with a monumental facade towards Schloßwender Straße .
