Neues Haus Entrance Portal

At the beginning of the Electorate of Hanover, the New House was built on the edge of the Eilenriede in 1712, originally as a quarantine station on the Schiffgraben to prevent the spread of the plague. Around a century later, the two-storey half-timbered building was part of a "wreath of inns and excursion restaurants that were located between the city and the surrounding area at the Landwehr towers and timber maintenance stations." Kingdom of Hanover soon played a summer theater and the first enclosures for the later Hanover Adventure Zoo had been set up.

In March 2019, the former Emmich-Platz was renamed Platz Neues Haus.

It's nice that the city has rebuilt and preserved the entrance portal of the New House at this point. It is reminiscent of the heyday when the New House on the edge of Eilenriede was THE place to go.
