Burgstrasse 12 (Hanover)
The houses at Burgstrasse 12 in Hanover's old town are the oldest preserved half-timbered houses in Hanover . The neighboring houses in Burgstrasse were destroyed in the air raids on Hanover in World War II, so that the houses are now isolated between post-war buildings. The front building of the listed ensemble (former house number: 18) was designed in the manner of the pharmacy wing of the old town hall, probably in 1566 by its master Hinrich Holste from Hildesheim .
Building description
Front building
The four- story eaves house is richly decorated on the protruding upper floors with rope ornaments and semicircular rosettes . The bay window was added later, and the ground floor apartments were converted into shops in the 19th century. After the war damage, the building was repaired first, followed by restoration from 1976.
Side wing and rear building
These two older parts of the building were built in 1564. A little later, a third floor was added using Gothic components from an older house. On the thresholds there is a Latin inscription with the name of the client Hinricus Grube and the master signature GK (for the Konning carpenter family ). The ground floor was modified in 1847 with state aid. This aid suggests that an early example of historic preservation may be found here.
