Am Kleinen Felde 28, building in Hannover, Germany
Am Kleinen Felde 28 is a former fire station in Hannover's Nord district, built between 1897 and 1900 and now protected as an architectural monument. The two-story brick structure shows neorenaissance elements with decorative roof features and originally housed firefighting equipment and living quarters for firefighters.
The building was designed and constructed between 1897 and 1900 by architect Otto Ruprecht as a modern fire station with garage and living quarters. Around 1902, it housed one of the city's first motorized fire engines, marking an important shift to motorized emergency response.
The building takes its name from the street where it stands. Today, young people from the neighborhood use the place as a gathering spot where they play, create art, and participate in activities.
The building is easily accessible by public transportation, with bus stops and train stations nearby in the Nord district. Today it functions as a youth center with regular opening hours on weekdays for visitors of all ages.
A fascinating detail is an old metal cover from the Lindener iron and steel works from around 1899 that still lies in the entrance area today. This artifact connects the site to Hannover's industrial past and reveals the neighborhood's historical economic ties.
