General Staff Academy Hanover

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The General Staff Academy in Hanover was an academy for training the General Staff of the Royal Hanoverian Army . The suggestion to found the school came on July 23, 1823 from King George IV , who did not live in the Kingdom of Hanover due to the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover .

History and description

In 1825 - now in the royal seat of Hanover under the reign of King George V - the General Staff College was set up on the upper floor of von Andertenschen house , which at the time was one of the "five manorial houses" on Leinstrasse that had previously been used by the customs directorate Left room on the upper floor of the house.

In 1832 the master bricklayer Carl Saß drafted plans for the redesign of the field pharmacy, which was temporarily housed in the old " high school " at the Marktkirche , and the artillery brigade school at Artilleriestraße 10 - in order to then accommodate the teaching facility for the general staff. The plans - still in the Reichsarchiv in the first half - were not carried out, however.

A draft dated 1850 for a new building for the General Court of Justice on Georgstrasse , on the second floor of which the General Staff Academy was to be housed, was also not realized.

The staff academy was temporarily operated at the then address Osterstraße 93 in the von Freitag house or in the former Maseberg house next to it. After the demolition of the two war ministry buildings in Hanover between 1879 and 1880, the house at Kanalstrasse 5 was the last makeshift accommodation for the military educational institution.
