The Wildermuthweg in the southern part of Hanover was laid out in the 19th century as Emilienstraße and leads from Hildesheimer Straße to Bandelstraße. Between the new constructions of the Constructa block , which was built in the early 1950s as an exemplary urban development , the traffic route was redesigned to a car-free footpath, which in terms of urban planning forms part of a green connection from the southern part of the city to the Maschsee .

Emilienstraße

Emilienstraße was laid out in 1885 and was named "at the request of the architect Klug after his daughter Emilie" (born March 9, 1866 in Hanover, died after 1943), who a little later on April 28, 1888 married the architect Hermann Schaedtler .

The street was characterized by representative residential buildings from the Wilhelminian era , as exemplified by the sheets for architecture and handicrafts before the turn of the 20th century on the Emilienstraße 10 building, which was built in 1898 according to plans by the architect Karl Ross .

Emilienstraße was temporarily the residence of various personalities and well-known artists : From 1901 , the painter Carl Wiederhold lived with his friend, the art and church painter Friedrich Koch , at the address "Emilienstraße 2 II" for at least a decade and a half . The art and church painter and restorer Martin Gotta the Elder lived with his family for many years from 1913 in Emilienstraße 4.

At the time of the Weimar Republic , the sculptor Peter Schumacher was the owner of the building at 10 Emilienstraße, according to the address book from 1927/28; one of his tenants there was the Helwingsche publishing house .

The air raids on Hanover during the Second World War almost completely destroyed Emilienstraße and its surroundings.

Wildermuthweg

In the early postwar period in 1952 was the Emilienstraße in Wildermuthweg "renamed after the Minister of Reconstruction (Eberhard) Wildermuth (1890 to 1952)." On the war-torn area of Wildermuthweg was as a walkway designed by the about the same time built Constructa-Block , who during the exhibition Constructa was supposed to present an exemplary urban development to the public.

The architect Friedrich Lindau sketched the development of the former Emilienstraße through the later Wildermuthweg in Planning and Building in Hanover in the 1950s . This opens up the tree-lined access roads to the buildings of the Constructa Block, which was awarded after an architectural competition and which, according to the ideas of the urban planners of the time, represented "a model-like example [...] of the ideal of a 'structured and relaxed city'". The basic idea of ​​the award winners, who worked a little later in a working group, was a "car-free area with row buildings ", which was to extend from Stephansplatz to Maschsee by a green zone with garden paths . The residents could grow roses in the gardens of the terraced houses - "400 meters from the city on valuable inner-city land." the originally planned connections to Stephansplatz and the Maschsee did not materialize.
