The Spannhagengarten residential complex , seen from the direction of the Käthe-Kollwitz-Schule

Spannhagengarten in Hanover is the name of a listed residential complex and a tram station built at the beginning of the 20th century . The five-sided residential complex on Podbielskistraße opposite Böcklinplatz forms the dominant urban structure between Klopstockstraße, Dahnsstraße and Spannhagenstraße in the northeast of the List district .

History and building descriptions

The name "Spannhagen" is derived from an old field name : a field path existed here as early as 1850, which was named in 1907 after the field name Spannhagenstrasse . The street with the ending “-garten”, which was typical in the time of reform housing construction , was added in 1915.

The older rental apartment buildings from 1905 to 1907, non-profit savings and construction association Hannover-Buchholz , architects Krack and Kröger

At the turn of the 20th century, rental housing construction in Hanover was increasingly supported by building companies and housing cooperatives, a development that is evident in the List using the example of Spannhagenstrasse . After a so-called " polishing architecture " - such as the Franz-Bork-Straße complex of the Spar- und Bauverein Hannover - was no longer permitted for reasons of building guidelines , the non-profit Spar- und Bauverein Hannover-Buchholz, founded in 1905 (today: the Kleefeld housing association Buchholz ) shortly after its establishment, a building site on the northern Podbielskistraße. On this area between the (today's) corner buildings, Spannhagenstraße 2 and Podbielskistraße 231 , the association built the older rental apartment buildings around the Spannhagengarten from 1906 to 1907 according to plans by architects Carl Krack and Wilhelm Kröger in block perimeter development with a shared inner courtyard : a long inner courtyard closed in front of a long inner courtyard about the same size, symmetrical and flat facades in a clear and simple structure to form an impressive street front. Behind it, the tenants could find inexpensive, bright and easily ventilated living space, each with three heated rooms, a kitchen with a pantry and a toilet on the stairwell. Despite all the progress: In the older buildings on “Podbi” - what was then Celler Chaussee - two tenants each had to share the “toilet halfway up the stairs”. In the beginning, “good drinking water ” had to be bought in the neighborhood as “the well water was not healthy”. But soon the entire building block was

"Provided with sufficient supply lines, sewers and drainage shafts, (...) which was by no means taken for granted back then."

The real housing estate Spannhagengarten was not built until 1913 according to plans by the architect Richard Koch for the Kleefeld-Buchholzer building company (also: "Spannhagengarten property company"). A uniform complex with 185 apartments was to be built around an inner courtyard with communal facilities and a bar for the client . In contrast to the Brüggemannhof in the Nordstadt district , the area to be built on was irregularly surrounded by streets on five sides, including Boiestraße . The architect treated the individual wings of the building set back from the alignment - the only exceptions are the later additions, house numbers 3–6 - each as a unit. Connected by projecting "corners" designed like a tower, the four-storey, plastered complex was provided with a mighty roof that was "livened up by extensions" until 1915. The decoration on the street facades was limited to “a few architectural forms borrowed from neoclassicism , vignette-like , applied stucco parts and some bas-reliefs with depictions of predominantly bucolic motifs”. Two “main facades” were presented with a central driveway and a representative structure; one to the south to Podbielskistraße, the other to the west to Dahnstraße, where today there is a small town square. The house entrances via the inner courtyard were also accessed through another driveway in Boiestraße ( → map )

The northeast corner of the Spannhagengarten, house numbers 3–6, was not added until the second half of the Weimar Republic between 1927 and 1931 by Richard Koch.

Compared to the “closed” building fronts of the Spannhagengarten to the streets, those in the green, wide inner courtyard appear “open”: The courtyard “garden”, structured by bay windows , porches and roof shapes, offers residents space for contacts, especially “shielded from noise and dust of the road. "

Spannhagengarten tram station

On the light rail lines between Wettbergen on the one hand and Lahe or Altwarmbüchen on the other, the Spannhagengarten stop - just like the one on Klingerstraße - was equipped with elevated platforms from 2007 to 2008. ( → Map ) From here, many schoolchildren can reach the Käthe-Kollwitz- School near the Eilenriede .
