Misburg-Anderten

The village structure around Meyers Garten underwent massive changes from 1880 onwards as a result of the expanding cement industry.

Marl pits, cement silos, conveyor belts and workers' families increasingly shaped the townscape. Anderten's farms, on the other hand, remained around the "Am Bache" square for longer, while the cement industry expanded west of it with the Jerusalem workers' housing estate.

Teutonia II cement plant

The Teutonia II cement works, formerly Germania, is located to the north of the freight bypass on Anderter Straße. In particular, the towering, complexly differentiated group of buildings (now closed) with silos and elevator towers gives an impression of the production process in which lime marl with admixtures is turned into cement by grinding, burning and grinding again.

Youth center

Germany’s first newly constructed youth center has stood at Anderter Straße 53 since 1927. It is an impressive example of the new functionalist architecture of the 1920s, in which architect Friedrich Fischer created a red-brick building complex based on its intended functions; it consisted of a three-story main building with rooms for clubs, a library, a savings bank, and two apartments. The cubic structure of the main building, set back six meters, is interrupted in layers by horizontal parapet bands, a feature accentuated by two balconies. Adjacent to the side is the gymnasium building, which served as a multipurpose hall and cinema. The building is a testament to the social commitment of the Social Democratic-led municipality, whose chairman, Gustav Bratke, became mayor of the city of Hannover in 1945.

Anderten lock

In 1916, during the war, the Mittellandkanal reached Misburg and Anderten, and has separated the two towns ever since. The Anderten Lock, formerly known as the “Hindenburg Lock,” was built between 1924 and 1928 and was Europe’s largest inland waterway lock at the time. Here in Anderten, the canal rises 14.70 m to its highest point of 65 m above sea level. The technical facility consists of two lock chambers measuring 214 x 12 m in length and width, with side chambers that collect and release 75% of the outflowing water. The twenty red valve houses and the control bridge give the lock an impressive architectural appearance.
