Similar to the building opposite at house number 1, it forms one of two important urban development "head buildings" as the entrance from Georgengarten to Alleestrasse, which was laid out on Nienburger Strasse at the end of the 1880s, in what is now the Nordstadt district .

The villa at today's address Alleestraße 36 was originally built in 1887 by the architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase as a neo-Gothic brick building for the chemist and lecturer Ferdinand Fischer as the client.

Only a few years after its completion, the manufacturer Albert Knoevenagel acquired the villa in 1892 and gave it to his son Max Knoevenagel that same year .

During the air raids on Hanover in World War II , the villa was badly damaged by aerial bombs . After the currency reform and the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany , the building was rebuilt in a partly “ more modern ” design according to plans by the architect Wilhelm Kröger . Opposite the building with house number 1 , the facade of which is structured by neoclassical and neo-Renaissance elements and emphasizes the multi-view of the corner situation with tower-like roof bay windows in the hipped roof and risalit-like additions and balconies, the structure of Villa Knoevenagel today appears as a rather simple brick building with the simple means of a terrace placed around a corner and a flight of stairs to the corner situation.

From October 1949 to May 1969, the villa also served as an official residence for the church chancellery of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD).

Today the house is the seat of the Naturschutzbund Deutschland (NABU) and the Naturschutzjugend (NAJU).

Remarks

  1. ↑ In the running text and the caption, the volume of the monument topography mistakenly confuses the building descriptions for house numbers 1 and 36 .
