The click mill in Hanover was a mill operated since the 13th century and for more than half a millennium at the inflow of the main arm Leine into the city ​​fortifications of Hanover . At her side - also for centuries - an urban water art was operated. Both buildings were demolished in 1895 in favor of river water art.

history

A "molandinum Honovere" was first mentioned in a document in 1226, simply " the mill of Hanover". When it was demolished in 1865, the old mill had three grain mills . Originally, the Counts of Roden had received the mill as a fief from the noblemen of Meinersen . She stood on a Werder , by the river split when entering a leash in the precincts had arisen in the city. The name Klickmühle appeared in documents in 1347 when the Ottenwerder and the "Klikmoelen, de ghelegen is bi der muren to Honovere" were to be sold to the city council of Hanover and the citizenship .

In 1535 an urban water art was built next to the click mill .

Almost three centuries after the first known documentary mention of the Klickmühle, an inscription stone from 1615 with the city's coat of arms, which the monument conservator Anton Nöldeke explained as originating from the sculptor Hans Nottelmann , reported a fundamental reconstruction of the masonry and the foundations of the mill. The inscription read:

“ANNO 1612 ON THE KLIP- AND FLOTH / MUHLEN AND IN 1614 ON THE BEUTERST MUH / LEN THE HERDE- AND GROUNDWERCK GANTZ / AND ON THE HEUSERN THE MEURWERK MERER / THEILS FROM THE GROUND NEWE, THE / FOUNDATION MUCH LOWER THAN THE BELOW / FULPFEHLE DETECTED LIGHTED, ON THAT FIRST / FIXED QUADERN PIECES THE SAME WITH A / FIXED MEURWERCK UBERMEURET ANDT / ABOVE WITH BREIDEN STARS OVER- / LIGHT AND FASTENED, THE FLOTH / MUHLE-UFANG, THE FLOTH / MUHLE-UFANG / BUT IN PREVIOUS DEMOLITION AGAIN / FAILED. ANNO 1615 THE FAST / GRAVE UF SAME ARTH ALSO NEW / BUILT FROM THE GROUND. GOT ER / KEEP THE FLOW LONG. "

After the inscription stone, the "Schnelle Graben" was also re-fortified around 1615, which, however, had its own water supply to the Klickmühle and should not be confused with the Schnellen Graben at (today's) Maschsee .

When in 1636, in the middle of the Thirty Years' War , Duke Georg von Calenberg declared the city of Hanover his residence and had the Leineschloss built for it, from 1637 Mühlenplatz became a castle forecourt with an unobstructed view, for which 42 residential houses on the Werder had to be demolished .

The corpus bonorum (list of goods of the city) from 1720 subsequently recorded another new construction of the mill building for the year 1712 . After the fortifications around the city had proven to be militarily useless during the Seven Years' War , the demolition of the fortifications of the city began and an opening to the surrounding area was created: in 1767 the Esplanade (later Waterloo Square ) was laid out for parades of soldiers and for exercise . Nearby, on the Leineinsel in front of the castle, the Vauxhall amusement garden was built in 1768 , to which a multi-storey café was added in 1780.

In the middle of the so-called French era , the future entrepreneur Carl Georg Fiedeler was born in the Klickmühle in 1811 , and in 1844 his son Hermann Fiedeler , who later made history in Döhren .

After the rise to the Kingdom of Hanover , Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves built in 1817, within sight of the Leineschloss and the old mill, in the garden of Vauxhall for the hero of the Battle of Waterloo , Count Carl von Alten , his palace in the classical style . After the count's death, King Ernst August bought the palace for his wife Friederike ; as a result, the palace was given the name Friederikenschlösschen . In 1843, the previous Mühlenplatz was renamed Friederikenplatz in honor of the Queen, who had died two years earlier.

Only a little later, the architect August Heinrich Andreae redesigned the old water art from 1847 to 1850. Almost half a century later, the city bought the area of ​​Friederikenplatz in 1895 in order to build a representative southern entrance to the city: Both Andreaes Wasserkunst and the Klickmühle had to make room for the construction of the river water art according to plans by in the same year Hubert bull .

Diagonally across from the market hall is the “Die Klickmühle” restaurant on Karmarschstrasse and the corner of Leinstrasse

Today, diagonally opposite the market hall, the “restaurant Die Klickmühle” on the corner of Karmarschstrasse and Leinstrasse is reminiscent of the Klickmühle .
