Marstall at the Welfenschloss
The stables at the Main Building of the Hanover district of northern city was a royal stables , which on behalf of the last Hanoverian King George V was built. It was built in the immediate vicinity of the Welfenschloss originally intended as a residence . The rest of the former horse stables are now used by the Technical Information Library at the University of Hanover .
Building description
The torso of what was originally a four-winged complex is a mixture of round arch style and English Gothic. The former horse stable was originally built in the basilica cross-section. Following the example of Lord Pembroke's riding stables in Paris , the stables were ventilated through the upper storey windows.
The listed two-storey south wing made of yellow bricks with Deister sandstone shows side risalites and a projecting component similar to a central risalit with gothic elements. The royal Hanover coat of arms with a lion and a unicorn can still be seen above a clock above the portal .
Ingeborg and Friedrich Spengelin added a fully glazed staircase to the eastern wall of the building .
history
Based on an idea by Christian Heinrich Tramm , the architect Eduard Heldberg created the building from 1863 in the final years of the Kingdom of Hanover and completed it in 1867, after the annexation by the Kingdom of Prussia . However, as early as 1866 (until 1912) the stable was used to house the horses of Prussian royal Uhlans .
Since 1912 the buildings belonged to the Technical University of Hanover , which in 1913 demolished the three northern wings of the street Am Puttenser Felde in order to build a machine-engineering laboratory with a thermal power station in their place .
The south-east wing served as a cafeteria from 1922 to 1953 , which was modernized in 1935 by the professor and architect Otto Fiederling and decorated with murals by Berthold Hellingrath .
In 1953 the cafeteria was able to move to the (today's) Theodor Lessing House in Welfengarten . In 1960 the old cafeteria in the west wing of the old stables was demolished.
From 1982 to 1986 the building, which is still preserved today, was rebuilt, restored and expanded by a glazed staircase by Ingeborg and Friedrich Spengelin . In March 1986 the Technical Information Library in the Marstall opened the PIN reading room (patents, information, standards) .
