The Weber Road in Hanover district Linden-South is one of the oldest streets of the district. Among the listed buildings of the traffic-calmed street are the oldest residential buildings in Linden, at the same time the oldest surviving terraced houses in Hanover.
history
The name Weberstrasse was first mentioned before 1839, but the street in Hanover's current Linden-Süd district was laid out as part of Neu-Linden before 1700 . Parallel to Von-Alten-Allee , Franz-Ernst von Platen , who had risen to become Count , and the new lord of Schloss Linden , had parcels staked out on the land now belonging to his property , in order to encourage the settlement of craftsmen under special conditions, in particular of weavers . They had to build their one-story half - timbered houses at their own expense, so they were their own builders. The other contractual conditions of the recruited settlers included protection and tax exemption from their employer on the one hand, and certain service obligations and a special dependency on the employer on the other.
As early as 1796, a school was set up on the property at Weberstrasse 22/23 (which was replaced by the building at Posthornstrasse 8 in 1847 , today: Posthornstrasse Youth Center ). The first half-timbered houses in Weberstrasse were partially extended as early as the 18th century; houses number 20 and number 21 represent this settlement layer to this day.
