from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The residential and office building at Prinzenstrasse 17, built in 1879 by Heinrich Köhler for Otto Biedenweg in the Italian Renaissance style

The Prinzenstraße 17 in Hannover means the Grade II listed and in the financial district of Lower Saxony's capital in the 19th century built former House Biedenweg .

History and description

The building in what is now the Mitte district replaces an older structure in which the violin virtuoso and concertmaster at the court theater , Joseph Joachim , had his residence until 1853 during the reign of the Kingdom of Hanover . Today the so-called "Joachim memorial plaque" commemorates the artist.

In the early days of the German Empire in the so-called banking district of Hanover, Otto Biedenweg, the director of the Hannoversche Landeskreditanstalt , had his own residential and office building built according to plans by Heinrich Köhler , that architect, in place of the previous building for three decades had previously built the neighboring Albrecht house at Prinzenstrasse 21 .

The new building now erected by the bank director, at the time as Biedenweg'sches Haus at the address Prinzenstrasse 6 , was planned as a three-storey plastered building, the finely proportioned facade of which Köhler designed in the neo-renaissance style , especially based on the models of the Italian renaissance .

For the first time in Hanover, sgraffito painting was applied to the building, which was created by the court painter Heinrich Wilke . However, the work of art had already disappeared during the First World War around 1915.
