history

200 liter pressure cooker with stovepipe of the former university cafeteria , now part of the university library

The building was realized in the reconstruction years 1951 to 1953 as the first of the new building plans of the university in Welfengarten. The architect Paul Wolters planned the building in the style of the 1950s with a high glass facade facing the park, originally as a student residence with common rooms and main canteen . and was awarded the Laves plaque for this in 1952 .

In 1953, the old cafeteria, which had been housed in the stables near the Welfenschloss since the First World War , moved into the new building.

In 1982 the house was one of the first of the 1950s-style buildings in Hanover to be restored in terms of historical preservation . In 1983 , the Senate of the University of Hanover decided to rename the building to Theodor Lessing House on the 50th anniversary of Theodor Lessing's murder .
