The city ​​models of Hanover in the domed hall of the New Town Hall show the city of Hanover and the Calenberger Neustadt, which was independent until 1824, in their urban development states from 1689, 1939, 1945 and the present and serve to convey Hanover’s urban development .

description

The four city ​​models in the New Town Hall were made - probably at the suggestion of Rudolf Hillebrecht - on the occasion of the Constructa building exhibition held in 1951 in the size 4.5 × 5.5 m. They were intended to illustrate precise, secure and, above all, specific information about Hanover from around 1689. Three of these city models were shown during the exhibition “Modern Architecture in the Federal Republic of Germany” from July 1966 to January 1967 in the Soviet Union in the cities of Leningrad , Kiev and Moscow , where the models of the state of 1939, 1945 and the supplemented model from 1951 are Should illustrate “exemplary reconstruction of the city of Hanover”.

The city models are listed in city and architecture guides and serve as a starting point or station for city tours. Their care and maintenance is the responsibility of the planning and urban development department .

More city models

A city model had already been created during the Nazi era to illustrate the planned redesign of Hanover on the basis of the law passed on October 4, 1937 on the “Building Guidance of the Third Reich ”. According to the renovation plans approved by Adolf Hitler in March 1940, it featured a gigantic NSDAP forum and a “Hall of the People's Community ” with 30,000 seats west of the Maschsee . As part of the inauguration of Gauleiter Hartmann Lauterbacher , City Planning Officer Karl Elkart presented the city model on January 19, 1941 to Rudolf Hess , the "Deputy Leader". The planned buildings were not implemented, only the foundations of a planned grandstand were laid on the “parade ground”.

Another city model can be found in the Historical Museum on Hohen Ufer . It shows Hanover in 1875, when Hanover became a major city with 100,000 inhabitants . In 2009 it was the focus of the exhibition “Cityscapes: Hanover 1870–1900”.

The city's planning and urban development department has a model of the city center on a scale of 1: 500 for the planning of the building administration and a “digital block model” for the entire city area.
