Villa Stephanus

Villa Stephanus is a residential building in Hannover with a Romanesque Revival facade and varied internal arrangement. It contains multiple dwelling units on different levels, including modern maisonettes and lofts within the historical structure.

Construction began in 1865 and was completed in 1870 during a period of growth in the Hannover region. The building was created when the city was developing economically and expanding as an urban center.

The building belongs to a group of significant residential structures and shows typical features of 19th-century German architecture. Its facade and layout reflect how wealthy families lived and built their homes during that era.

The building stands on Davenstedter Straße and is easily accessible to view from outside, with residential units now in private ownership. Visitors can examine the exterior architecture and explore the surrounding area while the interior remains private residential space.

The building originally served as a police station before being converted into residential units while maintaining its protected monument status. This transformation shows how historic structures can be adapted for new purposes while preserving their architectural character.
