List city

Row of buildings to Podbielskistraße

The List city is from 1929 to 1931 built a housing estate in the style of New Building in Hanover in Lower Saxony . Today it is a listed building .

description

The settlement was built in the Groß-Buchholz district on Podbielskistraße . It was built by the architect Adolf Falke for the construction company "List-Stadt" GmbH. The settlement is a residential complex built in a row construction for the first time in Hanover. Along the street front to Podbielskistraße, slightly protruding four-story plastered buildings and recessed six-story flat roof buildings alternate. There are shops and passageways on the ground floor and studio apartments with large window openings on the sixth floor . The facade is structured by horizontal ribbon windows and vertical staircase windows. Behind the house facade there are three-storey rows of houses that are transverse to form the green inner courtyards.

900 two- to four-room apartments were planned. The concept was not fully implemented. Today only a part of the housing estate is still there, as the air raids on Hanover during the Second World War were particularly destroyed in the western area .
