Architecture at Warmbüchenkamp

Until the end of the 1840s, the city limits of Hanover ran along the ship moat, a former shipping ditch. At that time the quarter was a garden suburb and was called Kirchwende . Kirchwender Straße is reminiscent of this name . Here built small farmers of vegetables, which they sold on the market. The next city gate was the Aegidientor , from where today's Marienstraße stretched eastward as a trade route. The garden church was built on Marienstraße within the Warmbüchen district . The abandoned garden cemetery , where Charlotte Kestner is buried, belongs to it .

One of the oldest houses in the Warmbüchenviertel is the building that housed the Ahlers Pro Arte Foundation from 2005 to 2016 . It used to be owned by the textile manufacturer Ahlers and was also temporarily the seat of the Kestnergesellschaft .

Despite protests from the population, a building designed by the architect Hermann Schaedtler was demolished in 2008 . It was a large, magnificent building with a round dome (destroyed in World War II). The AOK's first headquarters were located in it . The Sachsen-Anhalt Medical Supply is currently (as of October 2009) building a high-quality residential building with almost 100 apartments. It should be called "Warmbüchenviertel" after the quarter.

Citizen engagement

In February 2001, the residents' initiative Profil Lavesstraße / Warmbüchenviertel was founded in the Warmbüchenviertel, which includes retailers, traders, private individuals and homeowners. It meets sporadically to influence developments in the neighborhood. Among other things, it prevented the construction of a new hotel (today the seat of the Lower Saxony Fire Brigade Association ). The residents' initiative also campaigned for the confluence of Warmbüchenstrasse and Dieterichsstrasse to be redesigned. Lavesplatz , which bears the name of the Hanoverian court architect Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves , was opened there on September 7, 2007 . It was also the initiative that, with the help of city policy, ensured that a merchants' association was again active in the Warmbüchen district. This was done as part of the “integrative district work”, an external moderation by the Hanover office KoriS . Since 2006 the association has been taking care of the revitalization of Lavesstrasse as a shopping mile. The renovation and redesign of Lavesstrasse in 2017 is also thanks to the association's commitment.

Chairwoman: Sybill Kastenow until 2012, Guido Langner 2012-2016, Anna Matschechin since 2016.
