The trade association for the Kingdom of Hanover was an institution of the Kingdom of Hanover in the 19th century "for the promotion of patriotic industry", which anticipated the functions of the later IHK Hanover and the Hanover Chamber of Crafts . In the early days of industrialization , the association was particularly important because of various trade exhibitions and the suggestion to "found a" higher trade school "(today: Leibniz University )" Hanover.

history

The forerunner of the association was the "Commission for the Promotion of Agriculture and Industry" formed in 1824. The trade association for the Kingdom of Hanover was founded in 1828 by Landdrost Friedrich Wilhelm von Dachenhausen . Under the chairmanship of the Minister von Meding , the nine-member official commission sought advice from men from the business world, such as the factory owner Bernhard Hausmann . The aim of the association was above all to improve the commercial teaching system, for which the establishment of a higher vocational school was suggested. After the first trade school was approved in 1830 (whose director was "the only 27 year old Karl Karmarsch from Vienna"), "the semi-official trade association" ceased its activities and was replaced in 1834 at Bernhard "Hausmann's suggestion by a private association of the same name . "

The new trade association for the Kingdom of Hanover organized trade exhibitions in Hanover and eleven other cities in the Kingdom of Hanover (within the boundaries of today's state of Lower Saxony ), “which gave important impetus for the increase in steam boilers from 2 (1835) to 700 (1860 ) reflecting industrialization and economic development of the country. ”In addition, lectures and training courses were offered, collections of lessons were set up, and commercial educational institutions were set up and promoted. In addition, the association prepared reports on behalf of the government.

After the annexation of the kingdom by Prussia in 1866, the trade association for the province of Hanover, together with the Association of German Engineers , initiated the establishment of the “Association for the Monitoring of Steam Boilers” (today's TÜV ). The trade association had previously opened the Hanover School of Applied Arts in 1868 .

In 1876 the trade association became a legal person with a new statute and in the same year bought the Palais des Bankier Israel Simon in Brühlstrasse as a club house . A library was built in Brühlstrasse, a handicraft collection was set up, a teaching institution was set up and a permanent trade exhibition was presented. In 1894 the building was sold to the city of Hanover and a piece of land was acquired in the Landschaftstrasse as a replacement . The inauguration of a new building and exhibition hall for training courses and lectures was celebrated there in 1898.

In 1931 the exhibition hall was given up. The trade association was dissolved by the National Socialists "in the course of the reorganization of the competencies of the handicrafts and the chambers of industry and commerce ".
