Neues Haus: A Landmark Reborn
Discover Hanover's Neues Haus: Where history meets culture at the heart of the city, blending architectural heritage with vibrant university life and easy access to the Eilenriede forest.
The Neues Haus, or 'New House,' in Hanover, isn't a building but a significant public space steeped in history. Originally the site of an elegant concert café built in 1894, the area was transformed in 1970 with the construction of the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover (University of Music, Drama and Media). The iconic entrance arcades of the former café were preserved and relocated to Emmichplatz, which was then renamed Neues Haus in 2019. Today, it serves as a vibrant hub connecting the university with the city, hosting cultural events and offering a glimpse into Hanover's rich past. Visitors can appreciate the preserved architecture and explore the surrounding area, including the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover, known for its distinctive 'ear' shaped design when viewed from above.
