history

After in the 12./13. Burgmannshöfe had stood here in the 17th century , the name "borchstrate" was first documented in 1359, and in 1365 the "platea urbis". In 1360 seven of these fiefs were given to the von Alten family , while those of Lenthe were given two.

The St. Gallen Chapel was built in 1446 on the corner of Burgstrasse and Ballhofstrasse . Their rubble was reused in 1670 in the construction of the Neustadt church .

Since 1750, Burgstrasse has been named after the fortified court of the sovereigns. Until the middle of the 17th century, Burgstrasse was the connection across the Leine to the west, first through the Brühltor , and later through the New Gate .

In the 18th century the stables were built at the north end of the street . Until the middle of the 19th century, Burgstrasse was an elegant residential street. Most of the buildings were destroyed by the air raids on Hanover in World War II.
