The foundation's residential complex

The Johann Jobst Wagener Foundation, also known as Wagenersche Foundation for short , is a foundation in Hanover that provides living space for people in need in the Calenberger Neustadt district . It goes back to the Hanoverian master baker Johann-Jobst Wagener (1712–1785). He had 1,784 in his will that "suffering poor, the sick, Rathlosen and distress" citizens of Calenberger Neustadt of his money that are supported. The foundation currently operates 79 apartments on Theodor-Krüger-Straße with an annual turnover of around 250,000 euros. Two honorary board members manage the business.

history

From the 18th century

Entrance portal

Johann-Jobst Wagener's will stipulated that after the death of “the last” of his and his “children, descendants in the descending line” a foundation would be established for the poorest. This case occurred with the death of his last descendant in 1853, the childless Madame Houdart in France . Two honorable citizens from Calenberger Neustadt headed the foundation, which initially supported poor people, mostly widows , through direct payments at the suggestion of the respective pastor of the Neustädter Hof- und Stadtkirche . The view of how people in need could be effectively helped changed at the end of the 19th century, and from April 1896 the foundation commissioned Hermann Schaedtler with the construction of 100 small and inexpensive apartments in a U-shaped house with facade elements made of reddish sandstone . Plans for a chapel, which can be seen on original drawings, were not realized. In the 1970s the apartments were no longer up to date and many were vacant. The foundation decided to modernize under architect Hartwig Hans Kühne. Central heating and bathrooms were installed in the apartments. The floor plans changed as a result and the number of apartments was reduced to 79.

Irregularities in 2009

The Kasten family provided one of the two board members for three generations. When August Kasten left after 30 years of voluntary work, District Councilor Detlef Gerberding ( SPD ) became his successor in April 2009. After around four months in office, Gerberding discovered financial irregularities in his management, which led to the resignation of his board and all political offices. The damage was initially estimated at around 30,000 euros. In September 2009, prosecutors confiscated files and began investigations into breach of trust. How it came about that Gerberding, who has been in private bankruptcy proceedings since 2006 and was also convicted of fraud , became the foundation's board member, caused a lack of understanding.
