It was not until 1924 that this part of the road connection leading to the Forsthaus Bischofshol was given its current name due to its location at what was then the Südbahnhof.

history

A railway bridge built around 1872 and now a listed building runs across the street .

At the beginning of the 21st century, the site of the former Südbahnhof had been lying fallow for several years, which allowed relatively undisturbed flora and fauna with its own biodiversity to develop on the area . In the 2010s, the wasteland of the "big city in the country" was initially used as large-scale retail and commercial space in favor of the growing population and the strategically planned redensification in the city center.

At the beginning of October 2017, the housing company Hanova and the real estate company Aurelis laid the foundation stone for a multi-storey residential and office building with 142 on a large triangular area on the street Am Südbahnhof at the northern end of Anna-Zammert-Straße in the presence of Mayor Thomas Hermann and city planner Uwe Bodemann Apartments from 50 to 140 m², an additional 1900 m² for shops and offices and 140 parking spaces for cars.

The south station

With the construction of the railway line to Altenbeken, the private Hanover-Altenbekener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft built a terminus west of the existing Hanover Southern Railway . This station, which opened on April 13, 1872, was called Localbahnhof or Altenbekener Bahnhof . Soon a horse-drawn tram line ran from here to Aegidientorplatz and expanded the local rail transport of the Hanoverian tram to 8.3 km.

In the years from 1875 to 1879, while the later Central Station was built by Hubert Stier and, according to the contract between the Magistrate of the City of Hanover and the Railway Directorate, the railway tracks were relocated to an embankment to be filled with 23 underpasses and two pedestrian bridges, the trains of the southern railway also ended here and travelers had to switch to a temporary station building opposite the Südbahnhof.

Only in 1880, after the opening of the new main station , did the Altenbeken route continue to it. The local station was then abandoned as a passenger station.

From 1880, however, it continued to serve as a freight station , particularly for loading and unloading wagons . The facility's technical facilities also included a water tower .

Letterhead from Louis Voss dated 1903 : Between the factories in Volgersweg, in the middle, the view "Storage with siding at the south station at Bischofsholer Damm 10/15"

As a result, several companies settled near the train station. In 1899, the iron and metal wholesaler Schwemann & Stück set up a warehouse with a siding and crane system at the Südbahnhof in Kleine Düwelstrasse . In the same year, the iron and steel dealer PH Brauns started its own warehousing at the Südbahnhof .

A few days after the end of the Second World War - at least in Hanover - when the " exhumation, transfer and burial of the murdered Russians and other Nazi victims " had been ordered by the British military commanders on May 2, 1945 , was allowed to supply the population on On the same day, a train loaded with coal will run from Barsinghausen to Hanover's southern station. In the starvation winter 1945–1946, even children had to contribute to the survival of their families: in order to survive in the freezing cold of minus 15 degrees, parents regularly went with their children to the coal stealer at the Südbahnhof.

In the post-war period , the Hanover lawn sports club was able to convert an old railway workshop into a sports hall from 1926 in 1953, which was later expanded to include a bowling alley .

In March 1979 the old water tower at the Südbahnhof was demolished.

With the departure of more and more connections, the operation of the station also ended.
