History and description

The Viertaler pond is fed by the Landwehrgraben, which, like the Döhrener Tower, served as part of the Hanoverian Landwehr in the Middle Ages .

As part of the planned since the 19th century system of the Maschsee became the Nazi time using the under the Hanoverian Mayor Arthur amount used job-creation program in the years 1934 to 1936 in Hanover, the 78 ha built large artificial lake basin of the Maschsee. However, since the course of the street called Rudolf-von-Bennigsen-Ufer was not to be disturbed, the area between Güntherstrasse in Waldhausen and the Engesohde city cemetery was not included in the water surface of the Maschsee. Instead, the old coffee shop at Döhrener Turm was first torn down in order to create a continuous green connection between the Eilenriede and the Maschsee, especially since the Maschseebad was completed there in 1936 with restoration.

As the core of the additional new park of the city forest flowing through Landwehr ditch was as a water supply for a pond used: During the so created "bird Pond" was created with three artificial islands, the old dates from the same time at the end Landwehr - walls on one bastion installed and later named after the mayor, listed Arthur-viel-fountain .

In keeping with this complex, which also reminds of past wars, two historic gravestones from the military cemetery on Hildesheimer Strasse were set in on the south wall of the bastion : that of court and field trumpeter Bernhard Kreite (1614–1648) and the one for Johann Christian Schernhagen (* 1692).

In the post-war period , one of the paths leading through the green area was initially named Arthur-Menge-Weg in 1966. It was only renamed in 1977 after the sculptor Ludwig Vierthaler .

At the beginning of the 21st century, the Vierthalerteich served as the venue for various open-air exhibitions organized by Group 7, among others in cooperation with the Hanover Region and the Garden Region Project Office: In the winter months from November 2008 to February 2009, they took part in the art campaign entitled Winter gardens IV: Utopia - gardens of the future in and around Günterstraße, the Döhrener Turm and the Vierthalerteich numerous artists with installations such as János Nádasdy , Siegfried Neuenhausen or Frank Popp .

In the last quarter of 2010, Group 7 then held the open-air exhibition, Sound Gardens, exclusively at Vierthaler Teich . Art on the tree , the exhibits of which, such as a damaged automobile body, were all accompanied by acoustic installations at a lofty height between a fork of a branch.

The water of the Vierthaler Teich also serves as a rainwater retention basin for urban drainage . As such, at the beginning of 2017 - more than a decade and a half after it was last cleaned - it had to be desludged from deposits such as sand, leaves, bird and fish droppings using a kind of large vacuum cleaner. At the bottom of the pond, an estimated 4,000 cubic meters of sludge had formed, which deprived the animals and plants living in the water of oxygen. Around 360,000 euros were estimated for disposal including accompanying work and restoration measures such as the restoration of paths, lawns and bank areas by April 2017.
