On the site of today's capitol high-rise at schwarzer bären in hannover-linden, the royal hanoverian court architect georg ludwig friedrich laves built his first villa, right on the ihme bridge at the entrance to what was planned as a villa suburb before industrialization and later became the industrial town of linden. After the construction of the - current - laveshaus, the first villa was used by the august söhlmann leather factory from around 1833 and was the site of the installation of the first steam engine in the kingdom of hannover - even before georg egestorff. The villa later served as a "photographic studio" for various photographers. Here in the picture you can see one of the older predecessors of today's benno ohnesorg bridge, in the background the chimneys of the mechanical weaving mill. Date: circa 1890.
