Civic Gardens (Lübeck)
The community gardens are a small park in Lübeck's old town , which, by agreement of the owners, is designed as a sculpture park according to a coordinated concept and is largely open to the public.
Gardens as a park
The Lübeck public gardens are located behind the classical ensemble at Königstraße 3-11 and connect the Heiligen-Geist-Hospital to the east of Königstraße through the gardens to the rear to the garden wings of the Behnhaus Museum (No. 11). The garden of the Holy Spirit Hospital is reminiscent of a monastery garden . The other gardens are based on the classicism era , but are furnished with modern sculptures and have been accessible to visitors since 1981 by a cross path with passages through walls and fences, which connects the individual house gardens to form a closed park. The park in the middle of the city surprises with the calm it conveys. The path allows a view of the back of representative town houses in the world cultural heritage of the old town with their typical wing buildings in the garden, which is unique for Lübeck. In the garden behind the Society for the promotion of community service , the bungalow of the sample home located Lübeck Knabenkantorei the architect Christoph Deecke from 1966. In the garden behind the museum Behnhaus is in the style of New Objectivity , the pavilion of the Lübeck Kunstverein, the Overbeck Society , a work by the architect Wilhelm Bräck from 1930.
The extension of the community gardens to the rear of the houses on Glockengießerstrasse is planned. However, it still requires the approval of some private owners of buildings on Königstrasse. At the Glockengießerstrasse, the rear courtyard of the Günter-Grass-Haus and the Willy-Brandt-Haus Lübeck at Königstrasse 21, including the garden at No. 19, are now connected at the back from the other side .
To the east, the community gardens are bounded by the wall to form a school area.
Sculptures in the community gardens
Behnhausgarten
The gilded Daphne (1930) by Renée Sintenis is made of bronze in the Behnhausgarten . The sculpture, which was the only one that was gilded by the artist, was cast by the art foundry Hermann Noack from Berlin-Friedenau and re-gilded by her in 1961. There is also a standing female figure (1980) by Klaus Kütemeier , a student of Gustav Seitz , made of black granite in the Behnhausgarten . One of Fritz Behn's works is the hissing leopard (1932), a bronze cast by C. Leyrers from Munich, which stands on a brick plinth. Georg Kolbe , a student of Louis Tuaillon , created the proclamation in 1924 , a replica of his memorial for fallen booksellers of the First World War in Leipzig. The bronze sculpture on a brick base that can be seen today is on loan from the Städtische Galerie Frankfurt am Main . It replaces the original sculpture, which was acquired in 1927 but removed in 1940 and is now in the Georg Kolbe Museum in Berlin.
Garden of the Charitable
The garden of the non-profit was regularly shaped by Lübeck garden architects: initially designed by Erwin Barth before the First World War , it was redesigned in 1924 by Harry Maasz and in 2002 by the office of Kühlert ter Balk . In this garden is the sculpture Grown Form (1983) by Peter Lei (* 1965 in Lübeck). Fallen Snow by the sculptor Bård Breivik (* 1948 in Bergen / Norway), a group sculpture made from Swedish basalt , was also made there in 1983 . The sculptures emerged from a sculpture symposium in 1983, as did Eva von Christa Baumgärtel (* 1947 in Kaufbeuren) made of Cotta sandstone from the Pirna area . The two terracotta figures on a brick plinth from 1970, playing the flute and listening to music by Marianne Brand, who was born in Gdansk in 1920 and later lived in Lübeck, were commissioned by the Prof. Paul Brockhaus Foundation in Lübeck.
