history

The beginnings

The street was originally named "Todtenstraße" because it led directly to the bend at Neustädter Friedhof on the former Josephstraße. At the time of the Kingdom of Hanover , in 1845 the street was renamed Short Street “because of its shape”.

From 1933

After the seizure of power by the National Socialists , the street was called from 1933 and until the end of World War II Dincklagestraße , according to the address of Hannover from 1942 "after the Nazi champion Major Karl Dincklage ".

Around 1942, the then manufacturer Franz Henkel owned the two buildings in Dincklagestrasse 1A and 2, where the sculptor August Waterbeck was one of his tenants. But the offices of the Orpil soap factory, which were also located there, were almost in the immediate vicinity of the NSDAP - Gauleitung Süd-Hannover-Braunschweig, located on the other side of the street, on the corner of what was then "Straße der SA ". The "Gaufilmstelle der NSDAP" and the Reich Propaganda Office of the Gau were also located in Dincklagestrasse.

In 1945 the street was renamed Short Street again on the orders of the British Military Authorities.

In 1970 the short street was "abolished".
