Villa Rosa

Villa Rosa is a two-story classical residential building in Hannover with a plaster facade, triangular gable, and carefully designed windows located at Glockseestraße 1. The house displays the typical domestic architecture of the 19th century for prosperous citizens.

The villa was built in 1830 based on plans by Georg Laves and Ernst Ludwig Täntzel as a residence for Friedrich Christian August Eisendecher, the treasury director. The building reflects a period when respected architects worked on private commissions.

The building demonstrates how prosperous citizens relocated their homes during the 19th century and built grand houses beyond the old city walls. It represents a moment in urban development when city life reorganized itself.

The house sits in a quiet residential area and serves as an orientation point for walks through Hannover's architectural history. Visitors can view the exterior facade from the street and gain a good sense of 19th-century domestic culture.

The villa is the last surviving garden house from the historic Glocksee garden settlement, a formerly prosperous residential development. This settlement has almost completely disappeared today, making this sole remainder particularly valuable.
