The Hohe Straße in Hanover is a centuries-old traffic route. Today the street leads from Posthornstrasse to Falkenstrasse in the Hanoverian district Linden-Mitte and has a mixed use of residential buildings, schools, offices and church buildings. Because of its narrow width, it is designed as a one-way street.

history

The road, which was already known at the time of the Electorate of Hanover, was initially known around 1760 as the path that led from the Black Bear up to Lindener Berg .

At the beginning of industrialization in the Kingdom of Hanover , the route was officially called Hoherweg from 1839 onwards, due to its elevated position , and then from 1854 onwards Hohestrasse .

One of the oldest known properties on the street is the current address, Hohe Straße 14 , on whose property the synagogue of the Jewish community in Lindens is said to have been built as early as 1833 .

In the immediate vicinity, after the master bricklayer Gersting had delivered the design for a school in "Hohestrasse" in 1851, Hohe Strasse 10 was initially used from 1852 for the upper class of the Linden school.

On the property at number 9, the machine manufacturer Georg Egestorff built the Egestorff steam kitchen , which found its own entry in Pierer's Universal Lexicon as early as the 1850s .

Hohe Strasse 7, which was built by the teacher Friedrich August Heine in 1848, was also called the Lutheran Waiting School Elisabethhaus after his wife and after the change of ownership to " Baron Carl von Alten " .

Since the post-war period at the latest , Hohe Straße has only been shortened from Posthornstraße to Falkenstraße.

The Hanover Entrepreneurship Center has been running Hohe Strasse at her address since 1997 .
