The commercial building of the Striehl Orphan Foundation in Hanover , Goseriede 4, was a residential and commercial building built between 1896 and 1897 for the Striehl Orphan Foundation . It stood between the - later built - buildings Anzeiger-Hochhaus and Neues Steintor near the Am Steintor square in what is now Hanover's Mitte district .

History and description

The property on the Goseriede, on which a small building previously stood, could not be sold according to the will of the founding couple Striehl , the income from the best possible exploitation should go to the foundation. Thus, the previous building was demolished and a limited on Hanover architect architectural competition advertised at which the architect Albrecht main involved. However, the first prize went to the design by the architect Hermann Schaedtler , according to which the "apartment building" with front and rear buildings was built on the property that reached deep into the building block from 1896–1897. While the ground floor was provided with a shop and additional business premises, five self-contained apartments were built on the three upper floors of both parts of the building, of which the front building initially brought in an average of 1,700 marks , the rear building brought in 500 marks in rent.

The street front of the commercial building was clad with red Main sandstone , while the courtyard fronts were plastered with cement . The four-storey building in the neo-renaissance style and the outward-opening windows typical of Hanover at the time showed a model of the Welschen gable facing the street in front of the pitched roof covered with red tiles . There was the raised inscription "House of the Striehlschen Orphan Foundation" and the year of construction 1897 and in between the fully plastic and larger-than-life statue of the male part of the donor couple, Johann Heinrich Christian Striehl , which stood on a console and was covered by a canopy . The sculptor Roland Engelhard was the creator of the statue . The side-mounted tower domes were covered with sheet copper.

The construction costs for the residential and commercial building amounted to 324,000 marks, of which the sandstone and sculpting work alone took up around 25,000 marks without moving. The Hanoverians "Master mason Ms. Hölscher, master stonemason Kramer, master carpenter H. Zucker, master locksmith Lebelt and Sorst, painter Gebr. Sievers and plasterer Ms. Maassler" were among those involved in the construction.

Only a short time after the completion of the commercial building, the Hanoverian photographer Georg Alpers photographed the building with the forecourt and the surroundings and a high gas lantern , which was lively with people posing . The recording was made as light pressure soon afterwards -Reproduktion in 1899 via regional distribution explanatory picture board in the in Berlin issued sheets for architecture and crafts .

While the commercial building was flanked on one side by a passage, the Anzeiger high-rise was later built on the other side. A postcard from around 1900 shows half of Striehl's foundation house with the Gänseliesel fountain in front of it, a similar card with the inscription "Weinrestaurant zum Vater Striehl, owner Hermann Bartels" and an interior view of the restaurant. Since the 1920s at the latest, there has been a branch of the Sparkasse on the ground floor of the commercial building, above which, according to the address book of the city of Hanover from 1942 - the city of Hanover was the owner of the building at the time - both private individuals and tenants as well as companies, but also at the time of National Socialism the Association of German Girls had their rooms.

The former office of the Striehl Orphan Foundation was destroyed by aerial bombs during the air raids on Hanover in World War II.

After the Second World War, the architect Ernst Zinsser built the Sparkasse building on the Goseriede on the same site .
