Works

Hanover

  • Zeuner's drawings in the Lower Saxony State Library were still considered to be the only known ones in 1977. These works by Zeuner are “ of particular importance for the topography of Hanover [...] because of the early period of their creation”. Among these works, all of which were dated as "India ink drawings, around 1675", there is:
    • Hanover from the southwest , with the cityscape in the background;
    • Hanover from the east ;
    • the ducal palace , "Collegium R. Capucinorum" (today: Leineschloss ) of the Catholic Duke Johann Friedrich , with the Gothic town house used by the Capuchins and the converted part of the choir of the former Minorite Church ;
    • Castle church and castle courtyard ; After the demolition of town houses, a spacious palace square was created, which was surrounded by walls and a gate facing Leinstrasse and was guarded by soldiers with muskets and halberds ;
    • the Neustädter Markt , which had only just emerged between 1648 and 1678 after the Jewish pond was filled in with the Calenberger Strasse and the Rote Reihe , the Fürstenhof and Osnabrücker Hof , the Parnassbrunnen and the Neustädter Church ;
    • the Begin Tower with the newly built armory and the gate in the city ​​fortifications of Hanover at the summer bridge ;
    • the recently built Herrenhausen Castle (long before the reconstruction by Laves ), during the construction of which the former village of Hörringhusen was renamed Herrenhausen .
