from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Villa Maatsch in Hanover was built in the 19th century as a residence for the royal garden master of the Herrenhausen Gardens . The listed villa , named after the professor of ornamental plant cultivation Richard Maatsch , is located at Burgweg 11 in Herrenhausen on the plantation site of the former University of Horticulture and Regional Culture , today a natural science faculty of the Leibniz University of Hanover .

The Villa Maatsch was built in the year of the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia in 1866 for the then royal horticulturist in the north-western corner of what is now the university campus, which was originally designed by the Royal British and Electoral Brunswick-Lüneburg horticulturist Johann Jonas Christian during the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover Tatter on behalf of King George III. as "[...] Nursery and Tree School " was created.

After the Second World War , the small brick building was initially inhabited by three families and two single people. When in 1949 Richard Maatsch made his acceptance of a professorship for ornamental plant cultivation dependent on the allocation of precisely this villa, the ground floor could only be cleared after extensive correspondence between the then town planning officer Heinrich Wiepking , Maatsch and the housing office.

Maatsch laid out a garden landscape with a fern garden, especially to the south of the villa , as an urban planning report in 1987 found. In 1997 , the university building with building number 4127 was presumably raised as a monument less because of its outstanding structural or design qualities , but rather mainly because of its history.

On behalf of the client Staatliches Baumanagement Hannover , the architectural association vorrink wagner architects converted the Villa Maatsch until 2007 for the center for radiation protection and radioecology of the Leibniz University. For example, the partition walls in the attic were removed for use as a larger office space.
