While the Seilwinderstraße under different names since the Middle Ages has been mentioned many times, the so-called found Alberti'sche house under the later house number 4 at the time of the Electorate of Hanover special attention: The house of the Freemason Alberti became the Midsummer on 28 June 1779 as a lodge house inaugurated .

After the time of the Kingdom of Hanover in a rear attachment to the house of Count Hardenberg in the Easter Road 16 corner Seilwinderstraße the architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase had designed two large Saalbauten, decorative parts were transferred from these halls in the later building complex Seilwinderstraße. 4 and 5

In the late founding period of the German Empire , the two older buildings with house numbers 4 and 5 stood in the place of today's Seilwinderhaus at the beginning of the 20th century . When the JW Sältzer company had its department store on Seilwinderstraße enlarged and redesigned by the architect Wilhelm Mackensen in 1912, it acquired the two old buildings opposite in the same year in order to have a larger new building built there. A steel frame building with a facade made of tuff soon rose to rent to small shops and as office space . The office and commercial building had its current name as early as 1914 , as evidenced by the business address of the engineer Theo Schmidt .

During the air raids on Hanover in World War II , the rope windmill was badly damaged by aerial bombs .

Shortly before the Expo 2000 , the then owner and the commissioned architect decided to restore the facade in accordance with the listed building standards. As a result, the shop and the shop windows were restored to their original height in the historical wall level between the pillars. The building was optically placed on the ground again, the facade in its original and balanced proportions redesigned to be legible. The picture was completed by the renovation of the caryatids , the reconstructed light strips and the bronze lettering "Seilwinderhaus".
