Dachenhausenpalais

In 1814, the Palais was the residence and official seat of Johann Friedrich Kaufmann, the court bailiff and mayor of Calenberger Neustadt. From 1814 to 1830, it was the seat of the von der Decken families, then until 1843 the residence of Kielmannsegge and Landdrost Friedrich Wilhelm von Dachenhausen, after whom the house was named.

In 1856, Louis Ephraim Meyer acquired the Palais and established the business premises for the Ephraim Meyer & Sohn bank here. Until 1862, Land Rabbi Samuel Ephraim Meyer also lived and officiated here.

After the collapse of the bank in 1926, the Women's Association for Poverty and Sickness Care, as the sponsor of the Friederikenstift, acquired the Palais. Plans for demolition and new construction failed due to objections from monument preservation. In 1950, the Women's Association rented the house to the Evangelical-Lutheran State Church of Hanover, which established the official residence for State Bishop Hanns Lilje there. From 1968, institutions of the Friederikenstift used the building. For a time, it was also the seat of the Office for Building and Art Preservation of the Hanoverian State Church.
