History and description

The house was built between 1893 and 1894 as a “municipal office building ” according to plans by the architect Emil Lorenz . The client was the city of Hanover, which had its last own building built in the neo-Gothic style in Hanover before the decision to build the New Town Hall was made in 1895 .

The building on the corner at that Artilleriestraße (now Kurt-Schumacher-Straße ), which even at the time of the Kingdom of Hanover in 1845 after his time lying there artillery - barracks was named, was the architectural completion of the formerly adjacent, 1861 to Municipal Packhof (Hanover) built by Ludwig Droste in 1864 . In addition, the corner house also took on motifs of the former house of the architect August Heinrich Andreae, which was located diagonally opposite .

The facade of Herschelstrasse 1 was mainly built from orange-yellow and brown glazed bricks and only sparsely decorated with sandstone and terracotta . The rosettes - Fries and three-leaf clover - ornaments motives were of the Old Town Hall adopted.

At the time of the German Empire , the building was transferred from municipal ownership to state authorities around 1905 .

The originally “probably only three storey ” commercial building was later increased and extended. The roof zone is now only found in a simplified form.
