history

The horticultural artist Martin Charbonnier from the Elector of Hanover previously had his house on the site of the Hardenberg house . At this point, between 1749 and 1751, Johann Paul Heumann built a new "court building and gardening director's official apartment" for the head of court building and gardening, Friedrich Karl von Hardenberg , together with "wintering rooms for plants sensitive to frost".

When the French general Édouard Adolphe Mortier and his troops moved into Hanover with his troops on June 5, 1803, at the beginning of ten years of foreign rule, the so-called French era , the commander chose Hardenberg's house as his own quarters . His successor, the French Minister of War and later King of Sweden and Norway , Jean Baptiste Jules Bernadotte , apparently found the garden director's former service villa “commod” - he lived here from 1803 to 1804.

When the Kingdom of Hanover ended in 1866 after the battle of Langensalza , the Welfs moved their family Welf Museum to the Hardenbergsche Haus (see also the Fürstenhaus Herrenhausen Museum ).

At the time of National Socialism , the city of Hanover acquired the building and renovated the house until 1939 in order to set up the registry office here. At the same time, the garden was reduced in size in order to relocate the central section of Herrenhäuser Strasse . The historic main street of the old village of Herrenhausen was then renamed Alte Herrenhausen Strasse in the middle of World War II .

From 1952 the Hardenbergsche Haus was the seat of the Heimatbund of Hanover's twin town Glogau , while the upper floor was temporarily occupied by Eduard Pestel .

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the sculptor Kurt Lehmann lived in the Hardenbergsche Palais and welcomed Martin Buber , Alexander Calder , Werner Gilles , Alfred Hentzen , the art patron Bernhard Sprengel , the set designer Rudolf Schulz and Kurt Ehrhardt .

In 1998 the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe acquired the building and had it extensively renovated and converted by the architects Schweger + Partner in the two following years . Since the year of the Expo 2000 the building had been prepared for conferences, receptions and celebrations, especially since the architects Irene Lohaus and Peter Carl redesigned the gardens in the same year . A new garden ground floor was created on the north side of the house .

Building description and equipment

Johann Paul Heumann erected the palais-like building , influenced by French classicism , as a massive, late Baroque plastered building on a high plinth and structured by stone . The symmetrical construction under high Walm - mansard roof is emphasized by a two-storey central projection with double-barreled staircase. On the ground floor there were originally rooms for representation with outside stairs on all sides. The private rooms, however, were set up on the mansard floor.

In the garden room there are oil paintings in the paneling .

The Hardenbergsche Haus has had a library on garden art since the renovation in 2000 .
