Dachenhausenpalais

The two-story building was constructed before 1800. In 1830, it underwent extensive renovation, during which it received its current Neoclassical stucco facade. In 1814, the palace served as the residence and official seat for Johann Friedrich Kaufmann, who was then the court bailiff and mayor of Calenberger Neustadt. Between 1814 and 1830, members of the von der Decken family resided in the property. Subsequently, until 1843, it was the residence of the Kielmannsegge family and of Landdrost Friedrich Wilhelm von Dachenhausen, after whom the palace is still named today. In 1856, Louis Ephraim Meyer acquired the palace and established the business premises for his banking house, Ephraim Meyer & Sohn, there. Until 1862, the district rabbi Samuel Ephraim Meyer also lived and officiated here. Following the collapse of the banking house in 1926, the Women's Association for Poor and Sick Care, which sponsors the Friederikenstift, acquired the palace.
