The Sternheim house in Hanover , also called Sternheim'sches Haus , was a bank , residential and residential property built for the banker and bank founder Meyer Coppel Sternheim (1805–9 November 1861) at the time of the Kingdom of Hanover in the mid-19th century Commercial building. The architect of the house, which was built in neo-Romanesque form between 1854 and 1856 at the address Schillerstraße 35 at the corner of Georgstraße, was Ludwig Droste .

History and description

The address of the building plot for to be built Stern home was originally riding Wall Street 29 before these 1847 scale and the former riding Wall leading road then on November 10, 1859 100th Birth Anniversary of Friedrich Schiller at the request of the Schiller Celebration Committee in Schiller Street was renamed.

The Sternheim house was to be built on the site of a former garden that had previously been laid out on the other side of the former city ​​moat and in front of Hanover's medieval city ​​fortifications . Due to the ramparts that had been raised here centuries earlier , the property on the street fronts was lower than with its sloping garden parts further back. Therefore an entresol was to be built over the ground floor later; both should serve as business and living quarters for the client . At the same time, the rear part of the bel étage to be rented in particular was increased.

The foundation of the house and its ancillary building in the rear part of the property, which can be reached via a drive-through, could then only set up on solid ground at a depth of 24 feet below the pavement, as the main moat around the city of Hanover had previously been dug at this point . The basement rooms with an extraordinary wall height were then built on the foundation, but hardly any moisture formed. The reason for this lay in the close proximity of the main sewerage system of the Ernst-August-Stadt, which was also newly built . This sewer was sunk so much deeper that a sewer pipe with a significant gradient could be laid there from the building site.

Due to the high purchase price of the property in a preferred location, the Sternheim house to be built between Haus Cohen and Haus Hemmerde should occupy as much of the street front as possible and also be built four stories high in order to generate as much rental income as possible. At the butt corner of the house, the builder and landlord initially had their own separate entrance with a circular staircase for their premises, while the tenants of the first floor and the upper floors at the eastern end of the house were to use a separate staircase at the courtyard passage.

The facade of the house had a sandstone bay window from the first floor to the third floor, which continued above in cast iron . While the first floor was emphasized by three free arbours , the fourth floor was given a spacious balcony on a flat roof on the east side of the house.

A special feature was the redesign of the initial window openings with their iron shutters set into the sandstone at the sides, which was possible from the outset at the client's request . It should be possible to convert these window openings into shop windows or shop doors as required at low cost .

Bank Julius C. Sternheim

The MC Sternheim banking house should not be confused with the - younger - Julius C. Sternheim banking house , which was located at Georgsplatz 1B from 1880 under the owners Siegmund and Karl Sternheim . Carl Sternheim lived there , the father of the Jewish playwright of the same name, Carl Sternheim , who spent his childhood years there, which he later described in autobiographical terms.
