Orangery Herrenhausen

Historic event venue in Hanover

The Herrenhausen Orangery is one of the most important venues in Hanover. Originally built in 1723, it was used to overwinter sensitive potted plants. Today it offers a varied cultural programme in a historic setting.

Historical development of the Herrenhausen Orangery

The Orangery was built between 1720 and 1723 according to plans by Johann Christian Boehme. It was given its neoclassical façade in 1819 by the court architect Georg Ludwig Laves. Originally designed as a wintering house for orange trees and other frost-sensitive plants, it was used for this purpose until 1969. Since then, it has been used as a venue for concerts, lectures and exhibitions.

Utilisation and events

With a capacity of 405 seats in rows, the Orangerie Herrenhausen offers space for various events. It is a central venue for the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, where international artists perform. Concerts, lectures and exhibitions are also regularly held here.

Approach and location

The Orangery is located at Herrenhäuser Straße 3a, 30419 Hanover, directly next to the Great Garden. It is easily accessible by public transport: From the "Kröpcke" stop, you can get to the "Herrenhäuser Gärten" stop in around 10 minutes on tram lines 4 (towards Stöcken) or 5 (towards Garbsen). For car drivers, there is a visitor car park nearby for a fee.
