Here you are standing in front of the reconstructed Renaissance town house in which the famous philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz lived until his death in 1716. Unfortunately, the original house was destroyed during the Second World War.

The Leibnizhaus was originally a Renaissance town house in Hanover, built in 1499, named after the philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. He lived in the house from 1698 until his death in 1716.

The building was destroyed in an air raid on Hanover in 1943 during World War II. Between 1981 and 1983, a reconstructed new building was built elsewhere with a faithfully reproduced facade.

The former home of the scholar Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, built in 1499, was destroyed in an air raid on Hanover in 1943. The reconstruction took place 40 years later with the original facade at this point because the original location was no longer available.

The Leibnizhaus is named after the most important Baroque philosopher and scholar Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, who lived and worked in an apartment on the first floor from 1698 until his death in November 1716.

The Oscar Winter Fountain in front of the Leibnizhaus is also a nice photo opportunity. It is called the “wishing well” by the locals. A large ring is incorporated into the wrought iron grille around the mighty fountain bowl, which is said to make every wish come true when you turn it.
