Street sign with legend to the city director Wilhelm Rumann

The Ruman Street in Hanover in what is now the district Oststadt was in the 19th century, shortly after the proclamation of the German Empire created. The street named after the Hanover city director Wilhelm Rumann (1784-1857) leads from Sedanstraße to Bödekerstraße and is in its entirety in the so-called “ monument preservation area of interest” in the responsibility of the Lower Saxony State Office for Monument Preservation .

History and description

In the Wilhelminian era , but mostly from the end of the 1870s, a predominantly elegant residential development was built in the area north and north-east of Königstraße for upscale bourgeois needs.

A group of two tenement houses, which were built in 1891 according to plans by the architect Max Küster on today's properties at Rumannstrasse 4 and 6, has not survived.

At the end of the 20th century, the writer Charlotte Regenstein lived under her pseudonym Alexander Römer at Rumannstraße 4 .

From the age of five and until 1915, the family of the future writer Hansjürgen Weidlich lived in “the first floor in the dark corner house on Bödekerstraße at the end of Rumannstraße”, from where the children were allowed to watch the annual torchlight procession on the birthday of Kaiser Wilhelm .

In 2016, the physicist Walter Selke was able to relocate the birthplace of the artist Kurt Schwitters, which had long been believed to be lost, with the support of Christian Heppner, who works in the Hannover City Archives . A long widespread error arose in 1956 when the house numbers in Rumannstrasse were redefined; the even house numbers for one side of the street and the odd house numbers for the other side of the street. As a result, Rumannstraße 2 - the artist's birthplace was on the preserved ground floor of the building - was given today's house number 8.

The historic buildings of the time often two and a half to three-storey terraced houses today can especially in the architectural ensemble listed group Ruman Street 15 and read 17/19: The three adjacent 1880s buildings erected similar to the northern side of the street end of the 1870s in the early of the Architects Heinrich Köhler on Schiffgraben , although the structures preserved in Rumannstrasse were designed in a simpler way; their "plasticity is emphasized by cornices and window roofs." The assembly with its rear buildings served around a century after its construction, including the property that extends as far as Holscherstrasse at the beginning of the 1980s, as a school building for the Albert Liebmann School .

During the air raids on Hanover in World War II , the area north and northeast of Königstrasse suffered severe damage from aerial bombs .

The semi-detached house Rumannstraße 17/19 serves today (as of October 2018) under the name " Wohnheim Rumannstraße" as a fully occupied refugee accommodation for 65 people , supervised by Caritas Hanover .

Much harmony

At the address Rumannstraße 9 you will find the “Vielharmonie” set up by the Gundlach Foundation, in which Gundlach Music Prize recipients can live rent-free for two years and develop their musical skills. For this purpose, a former residential building was redesigned for music studies in 2003 and equipped with a soundproof "practice box", among other things. After the restoration of the pavilion, which is part of the backdrop during the annual serenade concert , it was awarded in the garden and courtyard competition of the city of Hanover in 2005.
