The Königsworth developed in the middle of the 1830s from a so-called "winter garden", a creation by Gerd Landvoigt , who named his company in the address book of the city of Hanover as "art gardener, dealership of domestic and foreign seeds and plants, coffee house, apart from the Cleverthore , at Herrenhäuser Allee , Königsworth 11 “. Even before industrialization in the Kingdom of Hanover , Landvoigt moved into new premises behind the barracks at the new initial address of Köngsworth 21 at the end of 1836 . A winter garden was soon set up there for the guests so that they could sit in the green among the - for sale - flowers even in winter.
