It was not until 1934 that pedagogical training could be resumed in the academy building built by architects Franz Erich Kassbaum and Willi Palaschewski on Bismarckstrasse in the southern part of Hanover

At the time of the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover and the thus long “orphaned” royal seat of the Electorate of Hanover , Ernst Christoph Böttcher, who had become wealthy as a silk merchant but remained childless, founded the teachers' seminar and an associated free school in 1751 , “after he had tried several times in vain to To obtain support from the Hanover government for this purpose in life ”. The theologian Gabriel Wilhelm Goetten is considered to be the co-founder of the foundation .

The location of the building erected by Böttcher was the Große Aegidienstraße 15 on the so-called " Hundemarkt " in the Aegidienvorstadt , the one of the first urban expansion of Hanover created under Mayor Christian Ulrich Grupen by the city master builder Ernst Braun and especially the fortress master builder Georg Friedrich Dinglinger .

After the training center for school teachers was continued as the "Royal Evangelical School Teachers Seminar" during the reign of the Kingdom of Hanover , the institution was relocated to the Volgersweg as a teachers seminar after the establishment of the German Empire from 1882 , where the educational institution was used as a pedagogical facility for the last three years until 1932 Academy was operated. During the Weimar Republic until Easter 1932, the building there was used to train pedagogues under the first director of the Academy, Rudolf Münch , while construction of the University of Education on Bismarckstrasse had begun. Further work was stopped due to the Prussian government's financial constraints , the building was only completed after the seizure of power and at the time of National Socialism in 1934 by order of Gauleiter Bernhard Rust . A new training program was finally started in the spring of 1935.
