History and description

A good two decades after the construction of the Hanover central station and the construction of the Ernst-August-Stadt according to plans by Laves , the architect Edwin Oppler built the Neuhaus office building with large restoration rooms in 1865 . According to the address book of the then royal seat of the Kingdom of Hanover, the client and at the same time the name giver for the building was the merchant Jakob Moses Neuhaus, who at that time still lived at Artilleriestrasse 14. As a result, a corner building made of white sandstone was built on the ground floor with two floors above it, “in excellent Gothic, colored brick architecture .” Oppler emphasized the pointed corner of the office building with a bay window made of sandstone, brick and wood. As a result, the architecture guide published by the Architects and Engineers Association of Hanover in 1882 and edited by Theodor Unger considered the building to be one of the most remarkable commercial buildings in Hanover in terms of the "revitalization of the German arts and crafts ."

After the turn of the century, the publisher of published Georg Kugelmann early 20th century, a 1908 dated photograph as the light pressure mimeographed postcard with the serial number 379, which is now the former House Neuhaus as a hotel Kaiserworth showed. The postcard with a view through Schillerstraße towards the tower of the dragon slayer house emphasized the value of the address by a closed horse-drawn carriage with white horse that was driving up at the time of the photo . Only a few years later, a postcard stamped in 1911 and influenced by Art Nouveau from the Graphic Art Institute of Georg Alpers jun. , which shows an inside view of the house labeled “Automat” on the outside with the subtitle “Greetings from the Central-Automat, Hanover.” In the house, self-service via machines was predominant, similar to other machine restaurants operated at the beginning of the 20th century .
