Georgenpalais

The construction of the palace took place between 1780 and 1782 under the direction of master builder Tänzel. Count Johann Ludwig von Wallmoden-Gimborn commissioned the building, thereby laying the foundation for what is now the Georgengarten. Initially known as the Wallmodenpalais, the property was sold to George III in 1817 to expand the royal gardens. From 1818, it bore the king's name. In 1921, the palace and garden became the property of the city of Hanover. After suffering damage in World War II, the Georgenpalais was taken over by the Wilhelm-Busch-Gesellschaft in 1949, with the western side wing requiring reconstruction. Today, it houses the Wilhelm Busch – German Museum for Caricature and Drawing Art.
