The Erderstraße in Hanover is a street laid out in the 19th century in what is now the Linden-Nord district . The connection from Limmerstrasse to Stockmannstrasse was given three different names in the course of its history.

The present name is reminiscent of the early as the Middle Ages, first mentioned village grounding on the line , which on the road to Wunstorf before the ford over the Foesse was and later deserted fell.

At the time of the Kingdom of Hanover , in the middle of the 19th century , Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves supplemented the historically grown network of paths in Linden-Nord with a state development plan: Today's Erderstrasse was not laid out until the first years of the German Empire in 1873 and was given its Eystrasse at the time first name. Hinrich Hesse noted the naming in his manuscript Street Names of Greater Hanover : "[...] after a former landowner living there ", but no further details have been found so far. The address book, city and business manual of the royal residence city of Hanover and the city of Linden for the following year 1874 located only one resident for the name Ey; the railway wagon master Wilhelm Ey with his residence at Ihmenstrasse 5.

The new streets on both sides of Limmerstrasse continued or supplemented the existing grid over the still undeveloped Feldmark . Similar to other street entrances from Limmerstrasse, however, until the 1880s, an almost isolated cluster of multi-storey workers' houses was built on Erderstrasse only at the beginning of the street. But even where this von Linden architecture was outwardly “sophisticated” at the time, mostly speculative dwellings for particularly limited financial circumstances were built. In the meantime, several still scattered factories disposed of their untreated sewage in the Leine and polluted the environment with dust, soot and odors despite loose buildings. At the beginning of its development and even before the building boom of the 1890s, Eystraße was “not a healthy settlement area”.

It was not until after the First World War that new apartment buildings were built west of Erderstrasse on planned streets, some of which had already begun or were newly laid out, up to Steigerthalstrasse. In the course of the union of the industrial city of Linden with the former royal seat of Hanover, Eystraße was renamed Lotzestraße in 1924 after the philosopher Rudolf Hermann Lotze (1817–1881) .

In the following year, 1925, the street was officially renamed after the former place Erder.

In the post-war period , in the wake of the 1968 movement , other groups formed: One project of the autonomous women's movement was the women's pub La Lotta , which opened on September 16, 1977 at Erderstraße 29 : The women of the pub collective were fed up with “always going back to To be talked to in bars by men ”, as a booklet that appeared later on to the exhibition on young people at the Hannover Historical Museum was able to quote. Almost exactly two years after the opening of the women's bar, the feminist magazine Courage read about events in Hanover that La Lotta wanted to celebrate her closing party on September 22, 1979 - immediately followed by the announcement of the "opening party of the gay bar on September 29, 1979"; the Café Nix . According to Emma, Café Nix quickly became more than “a lesbian and gay bar in Hanover”: Just to celebrate its one-year existence, there were theater performances “im Nix” for a week before the closing party of the Organized theater week in the UJZ Glocksee .
