history

When, in the course of industrialization and the progressive rural exodus, there was an increasing housing shortage in Hanover, the first building cooperative was founded in 1885 from a tenants' association in the Oststadt district of Hanover : The first 65 founding members, including the senator and namesake of the later Brüggemannhof , Heinrich Brüggemann (* 24 May 1876 in Meißendorf ; † January 14, 1947 in Hanover), chose Franz Bork (born June 1853 in Gollub ; † April 1, 1915 in Nuremberg ) as their first managing director . The common goal of the comrades was

"To build healthy and cheap houses and to rent them to the members of the association, also to accept savings deposits from the members."

As early as 1886 to 1891, the savings and construction association built four-story raw brick buildings in the so-called “ polishing style ” on the western side of Lister Strasse on inexpensive building land and near their workplaces, with the help of their comrades, who were usually workers and craftsmen . In this way, the first apartments in an eight-family house on the corner of (today's) Franz-Bork-Strasse were rented as early as 1887 , the first area that was opened up by the savings and construction association ( → map )

In the year the buildings on Lister Strasse and Franz-Bork-Strasse were completed, the association acquired another property in 1891 on Seydlitzstrasse at the corner of Dessauerstrasse . ( → map )

Already at the turn of the century, the savings and construction association had 3,169 members who had paid in around 1,261,000 marks , a "portfolio of 58 houses with 487 apartments". From 1912, the Brüggemannhof was also added , where the association then moved to its administrative headquarters. ( → map )

By 1935, the housing stock had grown continuously to around 3,000 units and now has around 9,000 members. However, the air raids on Hanover in World War II destroyed around half of all the apartments that the association had built up to then. These could be rebuilt by the mid-1950s, in addition to the construction of newer residential complexes.

It was not until the mid-1970s that the Spar- und Bauverein's lively new building activity subsided ; instead, the existing house and apartment portfolio was extensively renovated and modernized . In the 1980s, the club's headquarters moved from the Brüggemannhof to its current address at Arndtstrasse 5. ( → map )

In 1985, in the year of its centenary, the association had around twice as many residential units as before the Second World War and around 20,000 members.

In the year of Expo 2000 , the savings and construction association founded the Niedersächsische Bauträger-Gesellschaft mbH (NBG), and finally the Hannoversche Wohnservice-Gesellschaft mbH .
