history
On March 11, 1843, the Kingdom of Hanover established the Royal Railway Directorate in the royal city of Hanover as the central administration of the Royal Hanover State Railways , which shortly after became the Royal General Directorate of Railways and Telegraphs in Hanover .
After the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866 was the railway management in Royal railway management Hanover redesignated and part of the Prussian state railways . In 1879 it became one of the 11 railway directorates of the Prussian State Railways, which were then reorganized as part of the nationalization wave.
These were merged with the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1920 , which uniformly introduced the name Reichsbahndirektion (RBD) for its railway directorates on July 6, 1922 . After the end of the war in 1945, the RBD Hanover was subordinate to the Reichsbahn-Generaldirektion (RBGD) of the British zone with seat in Bielefeld . After the founding of the Deutsche Bundesbahn in 1949, the former Reichsbahndirectors became Federal Railway Directorates . The management was now called "Bundesbahndirektion Hannover". As part of the administrative reform, the Münster Federal Railway Directorate was dissolved in 1974 and parts of its area of responsibility were added to the Hanover Federal Railway Directorate.
When Deutsche Bahn AG was founded in 1994, the Federal Railway Directorates were abolished and their tasks were transferred to the new business areas.
Administration building Joachimstrasse 8
The Hanover Royal Railway Directorate used the administration building at Joachimstrasse 8, which was built between 1870 and 1872. The Berlin architect Friedrich Hitzig designed the three-storey building with four wings. He clad the facade with yellow brickwork, accentuated by red ribbons. The corners of the house are designed as risalits that protrude only slightly from the building line. The upper floor was given a surrounding cornice with pilasters , based on models from antiquity. Above it is a cantilevered eaves adorned with sandstone nude furniture . The wing on Joachimstrasse was reconstructed as a copy in 1970.
The listed building was extensively renovated from 2001 to 2003 and 2010 and now houses retail and catering companies on the ground floor as " Ernst-August-Carrée ", while Deutsche Bahn AG is the main tenant on the upper floors .
