In 1825, the royal Hanoverian architect Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves was commissioned to build two gatehouses at the Georgengarten for a garden palace to be built for the Hanoverian court marshal Georg von Wangenheim. The palace was never built. Only the two gatehouses remained as so-called cavalier houses. The villa at today's Jägerstrasse 15 was reserved for servants. No. 16 was to serve as a horse stable. The horse stable was converted into a residential building in the 19th century. Today the classicist villas are privately owned and house apartments and offices.

The gatehouses in the Georgengarten, also called Kavaliershäuser and individually referred to as the Cavalierhaus or Laves-Villa in the Georgengarten, are a listed ensemble from the first half of the 19th century in the northern part of Hanover in the Georgengarten at the addresses Jägerstraße 15 and Jägerstraße 16.

The two villas were originally planned as gatehouses as one of the two summer residences of the nobility along the way to the Electoral Brunswick-Lüneburg summer residence in Herrenhausen.

While the eastern building was intended for servants' quarters, Laves originally planned the western garden building as horse stables, with brick groined vaults on stone pillars on the ground floor, in which the three-aisled hall originally contained lunette windows. At first only the house was called Cavalierhaus, later both houses were meant.
