history

In 1824 the Commission for the Promotion of Agriculture and Industry was established. With the trade association for the Kingdom of Hanover , many functions of today's Chamber of Commerce and Crafts were taken over by a professional organization. The ordinance on the establishment of chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Hanover of April 7, 1866 also led to the establishment of a chamber in Hanover. On April 20, 1866, the chambers of commerce in Hildesheim, Göttingen, Osterode and Goslar and on September 12, 1866 the chambers of commerce in Hanover and Hameln were established.

A decade later, she opened the Trade and Industry Museum there at the same time .

In 1920, Chamber President Fritz Beindorff won the lawyer and economist Kurt Finkenwirth as the syndic of his organization, who, together with Beindorff, Erich Tgahrt and Richard Platz, quickly turned the Hanover Chamber of Commerce into the leading self-organization of Lower Saxony's economy and at the same time one of the prerequisites for the political founding of the State of Lower Saxony in 1946 created. In 1924 the previous chambers of commerce were renamed chambers of industry and commerce (IHK). Around four years later, in 1928, the Hanover Chamber of Industry and Commerce moved into their new headquarters in their own building at the then address Finkenstraße 5 on the corner of Schiffgraben , which later also housed the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of the then Free State of Schaumburg-Lippe .

In 1929, the Hildesheim, Göttingen and Goslar chambers signed a contract on their dissolution and the formation of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce for southern Hanover, which from 1965 on was called the IHK Hildesheim.

After the seizure of power by the Nazis in 1933, the CCI was - like all institutions for the period of National Socialism - into line .

The headquarters on Finkenstrasse were destroyed by the air raids on Hanover during the Second World War . From 1943 to 1945 the IHK did not exist, but was part of the Hanover-Braunschweig Gauwirtschaftskammer .

After American troops marched into Hanover and the Gau Chamber of Commerce was closed on April 10, 1945, leading economists in Hanover formed a provisional main committee on May 4, 1945, which elected Franz Wilhelm Henkel as its chairman on May 25 . However, the chambers were only officially recognized by a decree of the British military authorities on October 31 of that year.

In the course of state reforms, the boundaries of the chamber district changed several times. In 1973 the Hildesheim Chamber merged with the Hanover Chamber. In 2002 the IHK general assembly decided to change its name. The "IHK Hannover-Hildesheim" became the "IHK Hannover".
