The Königsworth in Hanover has been a diverse, extensive restaurant and entertainment establishment since the first half of the 19th century and, with its extension between Brühlstrasse and Andertensche Wiese, marks one of the oldest historical reference points of the former suburb of Königsworth in today's Calenberger Neustadt . As a clubhouse, with its halls seating up to 1,500 people, it developed, among other things, into an early meeting place for the workers' movement .

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.

At the time of the German Empire at the end of the 19th century, the first meetings of the workers of the factory workers' association took place in the Ballhof , in the Hainhölzer Gesellschaftshaus and in the Königsworth .

Also at the end of the 19th century, informants from the Hanover Police Department observed a "[...] meeting in the 'Königsworth'", at which the anarchist Gustav Landauer gave a speech in front of around 130 people , the locksmith Friedrich Rischmüller from Marienstrasse "Brochures" sold and around 200 copies of Laudauer's magazine Der Sozialist were distributed in the vicinity .

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Königsworth with its operator C. or Karel Halberstadt was the scene of the story of the former Kötner Jochen Klömichel from Algermissen under the title "Dat Gooseetes", reproduced by the writer Wilhelm Henze in Calenberger Platt . The narrative also made reference to the company's bowling alley.

After the seizure of power by the Nazis , the Nazi Filmstelle taught for the Gau Southern Hanover-Brunswick in condominium Königsworth own Gau cinema one in terms of their conformist propaganda .

During the Second World War , the building at Gerberstrasse 3 was owned by the Hannoverscher Kegler association . The Sunni - Turkish Association of Islamic Cultural Center Hanover (VIKZ) opened a mosque at the same address in 1979 .
