Hanover, taken from the west side of the Leine river
Hanover, taken from the west side of the Leine river, is the headline of a colored copper engraving published by Johann Georg Schrader in 1798, or an etching by the court painter, decorator and illustrator Johann Heinrich Ramberg .
Among other things in the possession of the Historical Museum Hannover plant located in the dimensions 36.3 x 51.1 cm shows a trip - company in the Northwest before then city Hannover , whose skyline is seen with its various church towers in the background. A pair of lovers with a maid and playing children, who can be recognized by their clothes as wealthy , have settled down in front of the steep bank of the Leine , while a cowherd there watered his cows at a low river inlet. The steep bank of the Leine behind it was then called "Totenkopf"; this is where Brackebuschstraße meets Leineufer in Hanover's Linden-Nord district today .
In the left foreground you can see a sailing ship that may have been pulled upriver from Bremen with towers on ropes . From there, at the end of the 18th century, goods worth more than 340,000 Thalers were brought to Hanover by water .
In the middle of the picture, on the left, you can see a group of trees with more cattle, behind which the larger "Alte Leine" (old line) stretched back then, an old water in the stone gate.
The work is part of a series of four mural prints that Ramberg drew and etched in 1798. The view from the west side of Hanover was available in several versions:
- right with a cowherd, and
- on the right with the couple and a woman with two children.
The second version was later printed by Lamminger & Rosenbusch in 1814 .
