The London-Schenke was a guest and concert hall built in 1682 in the Calenberger Neustadt (today part of Hanover ) , which later served as a poor house and was destroyed by the air raids on Hanover in World War II. The location of the building was built over by the Leibnizufer street, which was laid out in 1951 .

history

Inn

In 1682 the innkeeper Müller had his new bar built in half-timbered construction at the corner of Neue Straße 21 and Bockstraße opposite the Marstallbrücke .

After Georg Ludwig, Elector of Hanover, had ascended the English throne as King George I of Great Britain and Ireland in 1714 , the Neue Schenke was given the new name "Im Schilde von London", or "London-Schenke" for short. In 1727 and 1760/61 the inn was expanded by buying neighboring houses.

In 1742 the treasurer Gebhard Werner von Bartensleben (born February 17, 1675) died in the London tavern as the last of his sex in the male line. With this, his fiefdom fell over the place Vorsfelde and the Vorsfelder Werder to the Duchy of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel . He had gone to Hanover to be cured by doctors because of his poor health.

The German premiere of Georg Friedrich Handel's oratorio Samson took place here in 1776 , and Handel's ode The Alexander Festival was performed here in 1778 .

Around 1778, the attempt to purchase the building by the city of Hanover failed due to the excessive demands made by the municipal authorities of the then independent city of Calenberger Neustadt; Hannover planned the refurbishment of the judicial office and the Consistory (now Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Hanover based in Hanover).

In 1808 the former chef, then owner of the London tavern, AF Durant , enrolled here

  • New cookbook based on many years of experience and furnished according to the latest taste in the art of cooking , along with instructions on how to make the most excellent types of pastries, cakes, tarts, etc. With sufficient kitchen lists for lunch and dinner for all months and seasons .

On August 3, 1809, the "Black Duke", Friedrich Wilhelm (Braunschweig-Lüneburg-Oels) took up quarters at the hostel when he fled to England after the battle at Ölper during the Wars of Liberation against Napoléon Bonaparte .

Poor house and orphanage

In the incorporation of Calenberger Neustadt to Hannover 1824, the city of Hanover bought the building in order there as part of a new city constitution and under the City Manager William Rumann issued new arms order a new workhouse set. The poor found a new domicile here instead of the poor facility called " Herberge des Herr " for weaving and spinning, which Johann Duve had set up and donated elsewhere in 1643 .

According to the Hof- und Staats-Handbuch for the Kingdom of Hanover for the year 1846 , the royal Hanoverian court physician Georg Friedrich Mühry was also a doctor of “the orphanage and prison ”.
