Varrelmannstrasse
The Varrelmann Street in Hanover leads from the road to Wunstorfer Harenberger street in Hanover today district Limmer . The historic street was already known at the time of the Kingdom of Hanover around 1850 as the route from the then village to the then still new Limmers cemetery .
It was not until the late founding period of the German Empire that the traffic route was expanded as a street around 1900 and was named Wedekingstrasse before 1901 , then Wedekindstrasse in 1903 . At that time the name was probably given after the owners of Vollmeierhof 1.
The street got its current name in 1909, according to the manuscript street names of Greater Hanover by Hinrich Hesse supposedly "after the wine merchant, land and brickworks owner Varrelmann in Limmer", who according to archivist Helmut Zimmermann is probably identical with Hermann Varrelmann (* September 22, 1834 in Ubbendorf ; † March 18, 1906 in Hanover), the authorized signatory of the " Rudolf Wessel steam brickworks in Limmer".
From the time of National Socialism , the working group “A memorial for the women's concentration camp in Limmer ” has received a photograph from 1939 showing Varrelmannstrasse with swastika flags.
