The Dachenhausenpalais in Hanover is the only surviving former aristocratic palace in the Calenberger Neustadt district . Today it is owned by the Friederikenstift .

Building history

The two-storey building at Calenberger Straße 34 was built before 1800 and renewed in 1830 with the addition of a classical plaster facade (renovation 1992).

use

In 1814 the palace was the residence and official seat of the court mayor and mayor of Calenberger Neustadt, Johann Friedrich Kaufmann . From 1814 to 1830 it was the seat of the von derdeck families , then until 1843 the residence of Kielmannsegge and Landdrost Friedrich Wilhelm von Dachenhausen , after whom the house was named.

In 1856 Louis Ephraim Meyer acquired the palace and set up the business premises for the Ephraim Meyer & Sohn bank . The land rabbi Samuel Ephraim Meyer lived and officiated here until 1862 .

After the bank's collapse in 1926, the women's association for poor and sick care acquired the palace as sponsor of the Friederikenstift. Plans for demolition and rebuilding failed because of the objection from the preservation authorities . The women's association rented the house in 1950 to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover , which set up the official residence for Regional Bishop Hanns Lilje there. From 1968, the Friederikenstift started using the building. For a time it was also the seat of the Office for Building and Art Maintenance of the Hanoverian regional church.
