Liebrecht House (Hanover)
The Liebrecht house in Hanover is a listed single-family house in the Hanoverian district of Kleefeld . The villa-like building at Schopenhauerstraße 28 near the Eilenriede was originally built in the early 1920s for the state forest master Liebrecht according to plans by the architect Paul Bonatz , who had previously built the town hall on site.
History and description
The chief forester Walter Liebrecht, who was employed in the Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forests and who had already “been involved in initiating the reparation negotiations in Versailles and Paris on behalf of the government” at the beginning of the Weimar Republic in 1919 , was unanimously appointed forester by the Hanover provincial parliament in 1923 elected for the province of Hanover . In the same year and until 1924, Liebrecht had the architect Paul Bonatz build his own house with the character of a forester's house for himself and his family near the Eilenriede and near the Haus der Jäger, which was built around the same time in the same street . A representative single-family house in the country house style, in the tradition of the Stuttgart school , was built on a raised ground floor under a mighty mansard gable roof . The architect's typical home- style architecture can be compared, among other things, with the former Villa Kopp built by Bonatz in Stuttgart from 1910 to 1911 and the Bonatz residence, also built in Stuttgart in 1922. The building materials used and the traditional designs are similar here. The structure of the Liebrecht House with its rows of windows on the main floor and the elongated mansard gable roof was developed to be very horizontal.
In contrast, due to the groundwater level at the time, the Liebrecht house has a raised ground floor on the high basement base, in which there are spacious living rooms, including the master and ladies' room with its large window front, as well as the commercial part of the building. The bedroom and bathroom, however, are located on the upper floor.
During the Weimar Republic , the German Dendrological Society registered its member "Frau Liebrecht, Landesforstmeister" in 1929 at the address "Schopenhauer Str. 8".
At the time of National Socialism , some of the members of the Hanover Rotary Club, which was dissolved in 1937, met informally in the Liebrecht house during the Second World War . Here the physician Karl Westphal reported for the first time on his experiences at the Battle of Stalingrad, which were not filtered by the Nazi war propaganda .
The writer Curd Ochwadt was registered in the Études rimbaldiennes in 1972 with his residence at Schopenhauerstraße 28, while Walter Liebrecht's daughter Ruth, widowed Countess von Bothmer , lived in the forest house-like property until 1981 in the second half of the 1970s. In 1981 the house was bought by Mrs. Ulrike Schwarzbeck geb. zur Nieden, renovated the garden, converted it into a 2-family house and lived there with her family until 1988.
