from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Garrison School in Hannover was founded in 1800, school for the children of the soldiers of the garrison Hanover. The building was located on the corner of Reitwallstrasse at Georgstrasse 2 on the street side opposite the artillery barracks at Steintor in what is now the Mitte district .

History and description

The Hanover Garrison School was set up as a foundation at the time of the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover and during the Electorate of Hanover - after there had been a forerunner institution in the then royal seat of the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg from 1666 .

In 1829, before the industrialization of the Kingdom of Hanover began , the first pastor of the nearby garrison church , later field provost Karl Reinecke , took over the management of the soldiers' children school as its rector.

Around 1835, the artist Carl Mentzel created a lithograph with a view from the corner of what would later become Münzstrasse through the four pillars of what was then the stone gate next to the artillery barracks. The picture shows a part of the Meding Gardens , behind which a gate guard was posted. This still stood in front of the city moat - remnants of the former city ​​fortifications of Hanover - while in the background at the corner of Steintor and Georgstrasse, the former vigilante guard was able to lead a "peaceful existence" until 1852.

On the occasion of the wedding anniversary of the future monarch of the Kingdom of Hanover, details about the garrison school at that time were published as follows: On the evening of February 18, 1843, the day of the wedding of the Hanoverian Crown Prince Georg and his wife Marie von Sachsen-Altenburg , the garrison preacher and school principal Reinecke organized the reception of the future royal couple, driving through the city in an open carriage, by their more than 400 students, lined up according to school classes from the portico of the building to the first floor, all with torches in their hands, boys on the right and girls in white clothes on the left .

After the German-German war and the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover, the rector Karl Reinecke retired in 1867.

According to the address book of the royal residence city of Hanover from 1868 , the “teacher from the garrison school u. Garrison küster “Ernst August Ohlendorff in Georgstrasse 2 on the first floor, while Wilhelm Duensing, the messenger of the now Prussian provincial school council and garrison school governor, had his accommodation on the ground floor of the school building.

When the guard building at the Steintor was demolished in 1870, today's Reitwallstraße was also laid out.

After the proclamation of the German Empire , the architect Christoph Hehl had Haus Strasser built as a corner house on Georgstrasse and Reitwallstrasse in 1875 .

Remarks

  1. ↑ However, today's Reitwallstraße was only laid out in 1870. The former Reitwallstraße, so named until 1859, lay in the course of today's Straße Am Marstall , which in turn belonged to Schillerstraße from 1859 to 1954; compare Helmut Zimmermann: Reitwallstraße , in this: The street names of the state capital Hanover .
