Welfenschloss Stables

It was built in 1863–1867 during the reign of the last Hanoverian king, George V as the royal stables for the Welfenschloss palace.

[1] The main body of what was originally a four-winged complex is a mixture of Rundbogenstil (essentially a German Romanesque-revival style) and English Gothic.

The design of the stables is based on an idea by Christian Heinrich Tramm, the former court architect who had introduced the Rundbogenstil to Hanover but had died at the rather young age of 42 in 1861.

The south-east wing served as a cafeteria from 1922 to 1953, which was modernized in 1935 by the professor and architect Otto Fiederling and decorated with murals by Berthold Hellingrath.
