Ernst-August-Straße in Hanover was the name of a historically grown street that led across the former Leine island Little Venice . The street with some half-timbered houses that were formerly listed , some of which were built in the 16th century, was abolished after the air raids on Hanover in World War II and in the course of the construction of the Leibnizufer in the Calenberger Neustadt in 1956 and became part of today's Schloßstraße , which is from the Holzmarkt and leads past the Leineschloss in Hanover's Mitte district over the Leine to the Leibnizufer.

history

At the time of National Socialism and until the Second World War , the street was mainly home to numerous workers ;

The road, which was initially known as Auf der Brücke , crossed the Leine over two initially wooden bridges as early as the 14th century: the then so-called "Old Bridge" at the Leintor and one over the later filled in Leinearm to Calenberger Strasse as part of the old city ​​fortifications of Hanover leading drawbridge .

In 1830 the traffic route was named Brückstraße . At the time of the Kingdom of Hanover, for example, the municipal master tanner Hermann Theophilus Söhlmann acquired the building at number 6 for his son Johann Christoph , for whom the building served as a tannery on the Leine.

In 1845 the street was renamed Ernst-August-Straße after King Ernst August, who ruled the royal seat of the Kingdom of Hanover . From the same year the street was widened for traffic, but the facades of the previous buildings were only partially set back.

The substance of the buildings, some of which were several centuries old, was preserved until the first half of the 19th century, of which the monument conservator Arnold Nöldeke built the town houses with the house numbers 2 , 3 (demolished in 1903), 8 and 10 in the 1920s described as art monuments .
