The Haas Street in Hanover is a scale in the 19th century road along the railway line Hannover-Altenbeken in today's district center . The name of the street, which today leads from Schiffgraben to Gutenberghof , presumably came after the royal master builder Conrad Wilhelm Hase , who was involved in the construction of the Royal Hanoverian State Railways during the industrialization of the Kingdom of Hanover and who built a house on one of the lots on Haasenstraße .

After the construction of the Royal Hanover State Railways and the Hanover Railway Station , the Ernst August City planned by the city architect Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves was initially only built on the outskirts of the royal city of Hanover . The development of the streets, however, took a while. To the south-east of the - today's - main station, a freight and product station was initially set up in the triangle between Prinzenstrasse , the railway line and the Schiffgraben , the Eselswiese freight station . Haasenstraße was laid out in 1863 in front of the bundle of tracks that branched off from the main railway line to the south-west to Eselswiese, and Conrad Wilhelm Hase finally built a house on it.

After a complete redesign of Hanover's railway systems had already been decided at the end of the 1860s, the tracks leading through the city in particular were raised so that traffic could flow freely through underpasses through the new railway embankments.

During the founding of the German Empire , the chamber musician Wilhelm Gertz opened his first piano shop in his own house at Haasenstraße 5 in 1873 , with which the family rose to become the largest piano dealer in Germany and also became internationally known. Even before Gertz's son Richard W. Gertz was 14 years old , Theodor Steinway was a frequent guest in Haasenstrasse and gave the young inventor decisive stimuli for his later international career.

A good half century after the Haasenstrasse was laid out, the origin of its name had almost been forgotten; according to the 1914 Hanover history sheets it appeared "[...] doubtful". Only the manuscript Street Names of Greater Hanover by Hinrich Hesse , now in the Bartholdy estate in the Hanover City Archives , made between 1925 and 1933 , re-established the reference to the architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase.
