King of Hanover was the name of an inn outside the historic gates of the city of Hanover . The property, which partly consists of multi-storey half - timbered houses , right next to the Catholic and military cemeteries , was the result of a donation from the sovereign in the 17th century. Coming from the country, travelers found the state inn at the beginning of Höltystraße, before the new course of Hildesheimer Straße was laid out over it.

At the beginning of the 19th century, people arriving by horse and carriage who did not want to be registered and reported as arrivals in the city, used to stay at the stately inn. From this time an ink drawing from 1825 has been preserved in the Historisches Museum Am Hohen Ufer , which shows a lively scene on the road in front of the King of Hanover.

Similar to parts of the two cemeteries that stretched to Höltystraße, the new course of Hildesheimer Straße was laid out over the foundations of the King of Hanover, while the old course of the Chaussee to Marienstraße was renamed "Höltystraße" during the time of the Kingdom of Hanover in 1865 has been.
