Jakobistraße was built as a garden path during the time of the Kingdom of Hanover around 1850 and was not given its current official name until 1854. At the time of the German Empire in the late 19th century, the first development of the area was on Lister Meile and Bödekerstraße in the former suburb of Hanover Completed except for a few gaps. The area was now more and more characterized by metropolitan apartment buildings, which - depending on the distance to Eilenriede - were built for different social classes . However, a large part of the surrounding area had not yet been developed at all, as a look at a city ​​map of Hanover from around 1895 shows.

The first development on Jakobistraße, starting from Lister Platz , includes today's building ensemble with house numbers 3 , 5 and 9 and the house at Edenstraße 42 . They are typical examples of the three- to four-storey residential buildings built in the mid-1890s for “modest demands”, the ground floors of which were typically intended for shops and of which only a few houses in this area have been preserved in their original construction. The residents here were initially mainly " workers , artisans , small businesses , civil servants and employees with low incomes ."

Typical and especially at the Jakobistraße 9 read is stylistically from the Hanover building school -based façade with facing - brick and glazed Sohlbänken , ribbons , molded bricks and a loosened roof zone. Also typical is the “ urban- spatial design” as a corner building that refers to each other, the sloping edge of the building emphasizing this part of the facade.

The terracotta relief of the cockchafer between two flagpoles above the entrance to Jakobistraße 9 indicated a special importance of the building: It served as the administration building of Fritz Kaeferle, whose extensive heating and machine factory with iron and metal foundry is located between Jakobi , Eden - and Kollenrodtstraße extended, and to the schoolyards of the two adjacent, its time " citizen schools " of the city.

The beetle , here in terracotta above the entrance was the "Factory sign" of Fritz Käferle

Emergency money - voucher for 500,000 marks from August 15, 1923, to be paid out at the " cash desk " at Jakobistraße 53

After the First World War , the Kaeferle company had to issue emergency money to its employees due to the German hyperinflation. Some of the vouchers could be redeemed at the " cash desk " at 53 Jakobistraße within two weeks . In the 1920s of the Weimar Republic the factory was finally closed, but for a long time it served as an “ adventure playground ” for the numerous children in the area . At the 1929 then laid out streets Friedrich Heeren Street and Kranckestraße soon newer apartment blocks raised high factory chimney of Käferle was not until the 1930s burst . The children of the two community schools had to write an essay about it.
