Robert-Koch-Platz 10 in Hanover is the address of an art-historical building of the international style in the capital of Lower Saxony. In the line of sight of Brehmstrasse and as the peripheral development of the square named after the bacteriologist Robert Koch in the Bult district , the building, which was built in the late 1920s and is now an individual monument , with its dual function as a cafeteria and sports hall with an adjacent sports field, is also important for the urban development of the district.

History and description

The building was erected during the Weimar Republic from 1929 to 1930 by the Prussian Building Administration with the help of the architects Franz Erich Kassbaum and Karl Grabenhorst . The building should serve both the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover and the Hanover University of Education for shared use.

The purely functionalist building in the formal language of the international style is a white plastered building under a flat roof . The structure of the broad building with its simple, "[...] but well- proportioned facade " is done by a semicircular stairwell front building with the entrance area there. Different window sizes and arrangements make the building structure clearer; the function of the gymnasium in the east was also made visible to the outside by a ribbon of windows extending across the entire width of the hall.

In 1955 the building received a hall extension.
