history

The milk house goes back to Gut Elsigerfeld , first mentioned in 1826 , which was operationally connected to the nearby castle courtyard in 1862 after it was acquired by Ferdinand Hoffmann . At the end of the 19th century it became the property of Ferdinand Mülhens , who had two roads built from 1905 to 1908 from Wintermühlenhof to Elsigerfeld. In 1885 the Elsigerfeld residential area had two residents in one residential building.

The Milchhäuschen on Elsigerfeld was built in 1912 as an excursion restaurant based on a design by the Honnef architect Ottomar Stein in homeland security style . It first appeared under its current name in the 1920s. A comprehensive renovation took place in 2003.

Before the First World War, numerous of these milk houses were built in different architectural styles in the German Reich. The aim was to increase the dairy farmers' sales. This is why there is still such a stop in operation in the Eilenriede in Hanover.

architecture

The building of the excursion restaurant from 1912, which also serves as a residential building, is a single-storey plastered building on a terrace plinth . The ground floor is spanned by a groin vault, which houses the dining room and also includes a tiled stove . The milk house also has an elongated coach house from 1907 with a brick fountain in front of it. The entire complex is bordered by avenue-like paths.

"Erected in 1912, this building is also shaped by the homeland security movement of the turn of the century, which had set itself the material-appropriate regional construction as an aesthetic goal and made simplicity and objectivity the principle, in rejection of the historicist styles of the early days."
