The Sophienhaus is a listed commercial building on Sophienstrasse in Hanover-Mitte .
Building
The listed Sophienhaus is a corner building at the intersection Sophienstrasse 6 / Prinzenstrasse in the former banking district of Ernst-August-Stadt in Hanover-Mitte. It was built in 1913/1914 for the Fey wine shop by the architect Alexander Kölliker in the style of reform architecture instead of an existing previous building. In the year of completion, the 200th anniversary of the death of Sophie von Hanover and the associated personal union between Great Britain and Hanover was commemorated in welfish-minded circles in Hanover . The Fey wine shop has been run by the second generation of Henry Fey († 1914) since 1905 . The Sophienhaus was later used as a bank administration building by Braunschweig-Hannoversche Hypothekenbank , which had its Hanover headquarters at Landschaftstrasse 8; today it is an office and commercial building. The still existing wine tavern in the basement of the building with its copper-framed portal with vines and vines in the style of the time the building was built is a reminder of the former client . It was known at this address from 1885 (i.e. in the previous building) and was run as Fey's Weinstube long after the Second World War .
Building description
The Sophienhaus has a clinker brick facade that is richly structured vertically above the natural stone plinth from the mezzanine floor to the second floor. On the one hand by ribbon windows in natural stone strips, partly designed as a bay window , on the other hand by four Ionic half-columns in clinker brick on the facade facing Sophienstrasse. The three house entrances are also designed as four natural stone portals (the representative, arbor-like corner entrance with two portals in front of the staircase behind) and integrated into the vertical ribbon windows of the house on the outside of both facades. Elaborate wrought-iron door grilles adequately addressed earlier security needs. The vertical facade design is separated from the upper floors (3rd floor and attic with large clinker dormers ) by a horizontal natural stone band with the house name , above that the clinker brick predominates without any further vertical facade structure, if one disregards the roof overhangs .
Users
In addition to the already mentioned wine tavern, one of the office users of the office building is the Philologists Association of Lower Saxony with its office. The wine tavern was run from 1995 to 2009 by the star chef Dieter Biesler , who had a name in Hanover for his “servants' kitchen”. Wolfram Siebeck described them and Gerhard Schröder's visits as Federal Chancellor to Biesler's wine tavern .
