Brandstrasse 23 (Hanover)
Brandstrasse 23 in Hanover is the address of the listed building in the Calenberger Neustadt , built in the first quarter of the 18th century .
History and description
After Duke Georg von Braunschweig-Calenberg had designated the city of Hanover as his residence by decree on February 18, 1636 in the middle of the Thirty Years War , he set up the Hanover consistory on May 1 of the same year . Shortly thereafter, but only temporarily, the facility was based in Hildesheim for a few years until around 1642 . In the first almost 9 decades, the meetings of the clergy took place “probably in the castle”, the Leineschloss built for the rulership of the state .
It was not until the time of the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and the beginning of the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover that the consistory received “its official building in front of the bastion on the Esplanade ” on what would later become the Große Brandstrasse , right next to the home of the building clerk Brand Westermann . But even before that, the court printer Samuel Ammon , after he had established his printing house in Hanover in 1691, was given a rent-free apartment for himself and his people “in the Consistorial building on the Brande”.
Shortly after the end of the Kingdom of Hanover , the artist " A. Albes " produced a watercolor dated 1868 , which later came to the Hanover City Archives as part of the "Brüelschen Ehrenalbum" . The lively view of the building and its immediate surroundings shows a three-story solid structure with five axes in the street facade and three axes in the depth. The corner pilasters and walls were carved from sandstone. Presumably the 2nd floor did not belong to the original building and was added later.
About half a century after the construction of Konsistorialgebäudes on the fire was about 1778 plans for a joint construction for at placing state authorities due to difficulties Justizkanzlei developed and the consistory at the Brandstraße: So the builder made Christian Ludwig Ziegler as a " Elevation of a building for the royal Justitz Canzley and the Consistory in Hanover ”. These and other luxurious drawings by Ziegler were later moved to the main state archive in Hanover . The elevations showed a cosmopolitan building and pointed architecturally to classicism and also to Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves , although the facade was still strongly baroque . However, the drafts were then not implemented - not least because of the political circumstances of the personal union.
The consistory kept its old office building until the beginning of the German Empire . But then it was moved to the house of Count Bremer on Friedrichsstrasse, which was rented by the state, in the course of Ebhardtstrasse, which soon afterwards - from 1886 - broke through. Shortly beforehand, the consistory had its seat in the building on Neustädter Markt, which was formerly an inn .
Shortly before the beginning of the 20th century, the building on Brandstrasse was expanded around 1895 for use by the Hanover Provincial School College. It got a very different look. It is still evident today with an extension in the eastern axis as a three-story, neo-baroque plastered building with a basement and a colossal arrangement of pilasters .
The former consistorial building was converted to use by the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior in the post-war period .
