Torhaus Brühlstrasse

The Torhaus Brühlstrasse in Calenberger Neustadt

The Torhaus Brühlstrasse in Hanover is a so-called “ Torhaus ” which was completed at the beginning of the 21st century . The location of the striking office and residential building built as a corner building with shops on the ground floor is Brühlstrasse 11 and 13 and Andertensche Wiese 2 in the Hanover district of Calenberger Neustadt .

history

The building partly replaces a residential building built by the architect Robert Mühlbach around 1890 at Andertensche Wiese 1 , which has not been preserved. Instead, one of the last gaps in the city center was found there .

The building owner of the current building was the Bavarian Architects Supply , which was represented by the Bavarian Supply Chamber in Munich . It launched an architectural competition , which the Cologne-based architect Erich Schneider-Wessling won in 1997. On November 16, 2000, a good two weeks after the world exhibition Expo 2000 in Hanover with its general topic "Man - Nature - Technology", the foundation stone of the project, which at the time was estimated at around DM 30 million , took place.

The building, which was completed in June / July 2002, was then created according to plans by Erich Schneider-Wessling and Karsten Unkhoff (Prof. Erich Schneider-Wessling's architectural office) and the Buchalla & Partner architectural office from Hanover, while the responsible landscape architect Martin Rudolf also worked in the Cologne-based architectural office Developed plans.

The Torhaus Brühlstrasse was part of the program of the Lower Saxony Chamber of Architects for guided tours .

Building description

Entrance and passage to the former New Apostolic Church , which used parts of the building of the former Königsworth pub

The building structure of the three-storey "Riegelhaus" and the seven-storey "Winkelhaus" spanning the transom are connected by a "joint". On the one hand, the joint points to the entrance of the building and should thus clearly define the main focus of the complex. On the other hand, the assembly forms a gate to the older building located inside the block, which was used by the New Apostolic Church until 2015 , and keeps a clear view of it. At the same time, the building complex mediates between the different heights of the surrounding buildings.

A special feature of the Torhaus Brühlstraße is the concrete ceilings through which water flows: With the so-called "concrete core temperature control", the rooms can be both heated and cooled. As a result, the room climate is optimized with comparatively low investment and operating costs . In addition, the architects used the most ecological techniques and materials possible right from the start in order to keep maintenance and operating costs low in the long term and thus promote sustainable rentability.

Under the roofs of the gatehouse a gross volume of 33,000 cubic meters was created with a usable area of 4,430 square meters (actually used floor space of 4,000 m ² ). An underground car park has 111 parking spaces; it is accessed by a spiral ramp.

use

The office space is mainly occupied by the headquarters of Delticom AG with a few subsidiaries; on the ground floor there is a Kieser Training branch and a shop for the Dainese clothing company . There are also six apartments.
