Tips

The Ihme-Zentrum in Hanover is a monumental building complex in the Linden-Mitte district, located directly on the Ihme River. It was conceived in the 1970s as a visionary project for a "city within a city" – with apartments, offices, shops, and its own infrastructure on multiple levels.

Architecturally influenced by Brutalism, the center consists of four residential high-rise buildings with over 800 apartments, a spacious basement with commercial space, and a two-story underground parking garage. The idea was to densify urban life while simultaneously decoupling it from car traffic – with bridges, ramps, and traffic-free interior areas.

Despite its central location and original vision, the Ihme-Zentrum is today a symbol of failed urban planning.

Once an opportunity for many people to live along the Ihme, today it is an investment property to the detriment of tenants and people from Hanover.
