The Trainkaserne in Sandstrasse or Trainkaserne am Möhringsberg in Hanover was originally a military facility set up for the army of the Kingdom of Hanover . The location of the Train - barracks was at the end of the dirt road directly on the railroad - tracks from the main train station in the direction of Walsrode between the main freight station and the products Station in Hanover Nordstadt .

history

The train barracks at the "Möhringsberge" was created as one of numerous military facilities through which the former royal residence city of Hanover also served as a garrison town . When the city was expanded in the course of industrialization , the first larger barracks were built outside the former city ​​fortifications of Hanover towards the end of the 1850s , initially on the northern edge of Welfenplatz from 1857 .

With the approval of King Georg V of Hanover, engineer captain Heinrich Jüngst built the train barracks on Sandstrasse and on the tracks of the Royal Hanover State Railways in 1865 as a raw, unplastered brick building with three floors .

After the German-German War , the Battle of Langensalza and the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia , the Hanoverian military facilities then served the Prussian Army . During this time, before the founding of the empire and in the years 1867 to 1869, further military facilities were built on Sandstrasse: A two-story service building for the officers was built as a massive brick shell measuring 19.3 × 11.4 m; the two car houses in the same construction, but three-storey and with a multiple length of 121.46 × 12.5 m.

In addition, there was a depot building as a train depot on the military road at the corner of Schneiderberg and Schaufelder Strasse, which together with the Train barracks on Möhringsberg belonged to the 10th Train Battalion.

During the Franco-Prussian War from 1870 to 1871, the city suffered from a lack of coal deliveries because the necessary railway wagons were used for military purposes. Instead, on January 19, 1871, “the first unwounded French prisoners of war ” in Hanover arrived at the Trainkaserne , initially around 2,300 prisoners of war, mostly “in poor shape”. They were housed in the traindepot and in barracks set up especially for this purpose in the courtyard of the traindepot; later more prisoners were added. Only after the capitulation of France in late January 1871 and the proclamation of the German Empire in Palace of Versailles , the French prisoners of war were transported back to France on two special trains in April of the same year.

At the time of the German Empire at the beginning of the 20th century, the train barracks was part of the train depot of the X. Army Corps with Captain Tiemann, who was appointed on September 10, 1910, as chief and Captain Rackow, who was appointed on January 27, 1912, as 2nd officer.

During the First World War , shortly before Christmas 1914, the painter Alfred Ahner was stationed in the training barracks. His field post letters from his time in Hanover in the " Sanitätskompanie 10" to his parents and the "dear Hannchen" were published a century later as documents of past history . Other soldiers of the "Train Replacement Department 10, 5th Replacement Squadron Hanover" , who were only partially fit for war , also sent their field post postcards from Sandstrasse mostly to their relatives. For the train barracks number 7 and number 8 at the - at that time - addresses Sandstrasse 18 to 20, the German Reichstag arranged for a final installment of 50,000 marks to be paid in the war year 1915 .

At the time of the Weimar Republic , the construction drawings and plans of the barracks on Möhringsberg were archived by the Hanover city building authority . However, the administration of the system was up to the magistrate of the city of Hannover.

For the period of National Socialism and during the Second World War the military facilities on the sandy road, were behind the now and the 1926 scale and after Otto Durlach scale Durlachstraße found during raids on Hannover by bombs almost completely destroyed.
