history

Mule stable and barracks building

At the time of the Electorate of Hanover who was in court marshal - the department in addition to the investments of the garrisons around the old stables in Hanover, among other things outside the city walls Hannover location "Mule" or " wearing animal stall ". It was built in 1736 right of the mansions Avenue as massive Stallbau, the additional forging and a car - shed had been added up. The Hanover city map of 1745 depicted the buildings as a horseshoe- shaped system. The later Royal Hanoverian Oberhofmarschall Carl Ernst von Malortie wrote about the complex that it had been used by the French as a hospital during the Seven Years' War and later - in 1771 - was assigned to the Electoral Hanoverian military administration. More military buildings were added to the building complex around 1780, which together then served as barracks, initially for the electoral Hanoverian bodyguard on horseback , then for the Garde du Corps .

The Fouragemagazin

In order to replace the older mule stable, which served various guards from around 1780 , the Hanoverian military administration acquired the former Von Wenckstern garden , which had been bought by the sovereign in 1796 , in order to hand it over to the Hanoverian Oberhofmarschall-Departement. In 1797 , the master bricklayer and architect Johann Georg Täntzel designed a hay and straw magazine for this site, but the “Fouragemagazin” was not completed until 1800. In the building, a room for the “ Rifle Chamber of the Chief Hunting Department” was set up, as its previous armory in the former mule stable had to be given over to the Guard.

Until the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia in 1866, the Fouragemagazin on Jägerstrasse was used by the court as a store of hay for the royal stables . It was then used by the Prussian military administration until it was destroyed by fire in 1874. When the fire was extinguished, August Thürnau caught a "severe cold" from the plantation opposite , which caused him to die at a young age. The property of the hay magazine was finally sold and then houses were built on.

Building description

The monument conservator Arnold Nöldeke described the appearance of the Fouragemagazin on the basis of a lithograph after a drawing by Wilhelm Kretschmer found around 1930 in the Hanover City Archives and created around 1840 . Nöldeke described the building as a T-shaped complex, mainly single-storey with a high hipped roof . The risalit on the front side facing the avenue was formed “by two storeys with five [window] axes with triangular gables”. The round-arched entrance in the middle was a rustic work framed. Round windows led the daylight into the rooms of the magazine. The rear wing was covered by a mansard roof.
