In 1896 August Noltemeyer leased the Klein Buchholzer Turm restaurant , which at that time was still located between meadows and fields. The name, which boosted sales, did not mean a tower of the Hanoverian Landwehr - which had never existed here - but a 10 meter high wooden observation tower set up in the garden of the inn .

After Groß- and Klein-Buchholz were connected to the Hanover tram in 1897 and the Noltemeyer stop was right in front of the building, Noltemeyer bought the building in 1906 and became a citizen of the royal capital and residence of Hanover the following year . The one-story half - timbered house with a raised front gable and a hall extension for family and club celebrations, a coffee garden and double bowling alley quickly developed into a popular excursion destination . After the fire in the Buchholz Tower in 1910, the name Gaststätte Noltemeyer was also used. The kitchen of the house was valued for their fried potatoes with Sülzkotelett , ham sausage and Soleiern and the Schlachte food on Repentance Day . But the tram drivers also spent their breaks here.

Under the later leadership of August Noltemeyer's son-in-law , Hellmann , the song Im Buchholzer Turm was composed and sung at festive feasts based on the melody of the folk song Brothers . Hermann Löns is said to have stopped here more often.

During the Second World War , the building survived the air raids on Hanover and served as emergency quarters for the bombed out . After the war it became the casino for the British occupation .

Only in the years of reconstruction was the restaurant reopened in 1952, but no longer as a place to relax or take a trip. For the expansion of the Podbielskistraße / Sutelstraße intersection, however, the bar had to close in 1959 and was demolished. New buildings were later built on the rear part of the property, including the Noltemeyer pharmacy , in front of which the Pinkenburger Kreis installed an information board in 2005 to commemorate the history of the house.

The tram stop with the new name Noltemeyerbrücke and the bridge of the same name over the Mittelland Canal , built for Expo 2000 , are also reminiscent of the rest room .
