Life

The listed Ernst Brauns monument on the "Toboggan Run Trail" (extension of Deisterstraße, Barsinghausen) in Deister

Johann Georg Ernst Braun was born at the beginning of industrialization in and around the royal seat of the Kingdom of Hanover at the time of the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover . After attending school, he studied from 1848 to 1852 and 1860 to 1861 under the matriculation number 1763 as a student of Conrad Wilhelm Hase at the then polytechnic school in Hanover.

Shortly before the start of the early days of the German Empire , Brauns built a group of uniformly designed residential buildings in what was then Tiergartenstrasse in Hanover, in what is now Hindenburgstrasse .

According to the Baugewerks-Zeitung of December 5, 1875, Brauns was together with the architect Ludolf Schaper, the master bricklayer Johann Christoph Fusch, the architect Gustav Röbbelen and the master builder Rudolph Eberhard Hillebrand on the board of the building trade founded on September 18 and 19, 1975 Accident Cooperative in Hanover .

He named the Annaturm in Deister, built by him in 1879 , after his wife Anna . With his two sons, the later architect Friedrich Brauns and Hans Brauns , Ernst Brauns often visited the then Barsinghausen community in order to explore hiking trails in the Deister and mark them for "tourists".

In 1883 Ernst Brauns was the decisive force behind the founding of the Hanover Tourist Association, whose first chairman was elected by the association members.

Remarks

  1. ↑ In contrast to other sources , the inscription on the Brauns monument in the Deister (see there) indicates the year of birth "1834" for Ernst Brauns.
  2. ↑ According to Reinhard Glaß, the buildings at number 8 and 10 were bought around 1908 by Clara Marcus , who had previously owned house number 9 as Kate Leverson's heir. She then set up the Leverson boarding school, which was operated until around 1932, in the three houses .
