Schulenburger Landstraße 167-225, Residential architectural heritage monument in Nord, Hannover, Germany
Schulenburger Landstraße 167-225 is a residential complex of one to two-story brick buildings arranged symmetrically along the street, with gardens and animal shelters extending behind the main structures.
The complex was built between 1921 and 1923 from architect Paul Wolf's design to address severe housing shortages in Hannover following World War I. The settlement directly responded to post-war accommodation challenges.
The buildings represent early 1920s social housing initiatives, with functional designs that combined residential spaces and small agricultural areas to support residents' self-reliance.
The complex has undergone extensive renovations in recent years and can be viewed from the street to appreciate its architecture and layout. Daytime visits allow you to see the buildings and outdoor spaces most clearly.
The settlement is known locally as 'Rote Reihe' and features individual stables behind each residence, a design detail that enabled residents to keep livestock for food and extra income. This arrangement was a practical solution to support household budgets during difficult economic times.
