Küchengarten buildings

The Küchengarten buildings are a collection of structures in Hanover with early twentieth-century features that show German design traditions. The facades and interior spaces mix residential and commercial functions within a single connected ensemble.

Friedrich Hartjenstein built these buildings in 1927, creating an example of architecture after World War I. The complex arose during a time when Hanover was renewing its urban structure and experimenting with new housing forms.

These buildings show how people in the 1920s thought about city life and housing. They mix homes and shops together in a way that reflected everyday needs at that time.

The site is located in the Linden-Limmer district and is easy to reach by public transportation. Visitors can view the building from the outside and explore the street and surrounding area around the complex.

The complex features an experiment with open courtyards and passageways that filled the neighborhood with activity. These connections between street and interior spaces shaped a new understanding of urban quality at that time.
