Life

Konrad Büttner was born in the small town of Engelbostel at the beginning of industrialization in the Kingdom of Hanover .

After the annexation of the kingdom by Prussia , Büttner first moved to the - then - village of Vahrenwald as a grower in 1868 . There the entrepreneur worked as a master bricklayer and owned a brick factory.

During the founding period of the German Empire , Konrad Büttner took over from his predecessor Heinrich Hanebuth in 1878 the task of - elected - chief Vahrenwald. After almost insoluble infrastructure problems arose there for the village community due to the settlement of commercial and industrial companies, Büttner led negotiations with the city of Hanover about the incorporation of his village "in charge of the community assembly" . Together with Kollenrodt for the village of List , C. Bohnhorst for Hainholz and Margrave for Herrenhausen , Büttner signed a 33-paragraph agreement on November 19, 1890 with the representative of the City of Hanover, City Director Ferdinand Halthoff . In it, the last mayor of Vahrenwald had negotiated, among other things, that the streets of the community he represented should be illuminated annually in the dark season from October 1st to April 1st at the expense of the city of Hanover with a total of 45 street lamps, initially with petroleum .

Buttnerstrasse

While Büttner was still alive and in the year after the incorporation of Vahrenwald, the field path on which the last community leader of the village had grown and which led from what would later be Vahrenwalder Strasse to Kabelkamp in what would later be the Brink-Hafen district , was named Büttnerstrasse in 1892.
