Dog market (Hanover)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The dog market in Hanover was a small square created by Mayor Christian Ulrich Grupen in the middle of the 18th century , which formed the center of the new district and was also intended to function as its marketplace . The square was also the intersection of the streets Braunschweiger Straße and Große Aegidienstraße.

At the dog market, Große Aegidienstraße 15, the school teacher seminar in Hanover was set up by a foundation of the businessman Ernst Christoph Böttcher .

In the middle of the square was the so-called " Erfurt Bell " formed as a stone circle .

After completion of the area, however, the facility turned out to be unsuitable for holding markets, which is why the place was initially called the dog market, both popularly and derisively. According to tradition , the square is said to be named after the market women who came into town with their little dog-drawn carts and then parked their carts in a corner of the square.

At the southeast corner of the dog market, the first school teacher seminar and a seminar school were built from 1751 on three building sites acquired by the businessman and founder Ernst Christoph Böttcher .

Similar to the entire Aegidienneustadt, the dog market was largely destroyed by the air raids on Hanover in World War II and by the breakthrough of the former Friedrichsstraße . In 1952 the place was officially canceled.
