The Wredestraße in Hanover leads from the Jordan Road to the road to the pasture . The street laid out in the Hanoverian district of Südstadt around 1930 during the Weimar Republic was initially part of Böhmerstraße. Around the same year the multi-family apartment buildings were built in what is now Wredestrasse.

In the early post-war period , the traffic route was renamed in 1952 after Rittmeister Konrad Wrede , who died in 1947 and who , according to the Hanover address book of 1953, bequeathed his art collection to the Lower Saxony capital.

The building with house numbers 1 and 2 in Wredestrasse was later placed under monument protection as part of a larger overall complex .

In the early 1970s, the news magazine Der Spiegel reported after the Munich-based housing company Bavaria Treuhand GmbH & Co.KG bought the former apartment building Wredestrasse 1 in addition to other old buildings in order to sell the apartments on as owner-occupied apartments after renovations such as facades and floors . The tenants were offered up to 5,000 marks as a bonus for moving out quickly or for staying in the apartment, which would soon have a new private owner, who would usually get legal action in court in the event of termination due to personal needs . A long-term tenant at Wredestrasse 1, who, as a pensioner, had to pay a monthly rent of 268 marks for 84 square meters in 1971, should either give up the apartment or buy it for 70,600 marks. But not only low-income tenants were among those affected in the conversion of rental apartments into condominiums, which was profitable for landowners: the museum director Helmuth Plath , who at the time was renting at Wredestrasse 1, also rejected the purchase offer. After all, the sellers - as “Young Socialists and Social Democrats from Hanover's Südstadt” are supposed to have researched - wanted to sell the apartments in the brick building in Wredestrasse acquired in 1970 for 670,000 marks in the following year for a total of more than one million marks.
