Balauerfohr
Balauerfohr is a street in the old town of Lübeck .
location
The approximately 130 meter long street is located in the south-eastern part of the old town island ( Johannis Quartier ) and runs approximately in a south-north direction. It begins at the chorus of Aegidienkirche at the junction of Aegidienstraße , St. Anne Street and Stavenstraße . Halfway through the route , it is crossed by Wahmstrasse , which turns into Krähenstrasse here , and ends at Hüxstrasse with the start of Schlumacherstrasse . Wahmstrasse and Krähenstrasse have only been a continuous street since they were rebuilt in the 1950s. The previous course can still be read on the south side of Krähenstraße. The straightening and relocation of the Krähenstraße to the north was made possible by extensive destruction at the corner of Krähenstraße and Balauerfohr by an air mine during the air raid on March 29, 1942 .
history
The section between Hüxstraße and Wahmstraße, like the other parts of the Balauerfohr, was considered a separate street in the Middle Ages and was named Dwerstrate inter plateas huxorum et aurigarum (cross street between Hüxstraße and Wahmstraße) in documents. Between 1449 and 1577 the northern part was considered to be part of Schlumacherstraße and was called Salunenmakerstrate accordingly .
The central part at the meeting point with Wahmstrasse and Krähenstrasse was referred to in documents as platea transversalis ex opposito platea aurigarum (crossing road opposite Wahmstrasse), the southern part as inter plateas cornicum et Noe (between Krähenstrasse and Stavenstrasse) or Kreienstrate .
Monks and nuns of the Brigittenorder , who had lived in the village of Bälau until 1428 , which was the property of the Marienwohlde monastery , acquired a farm near the intersection with Wahmstrasse in 1431. The name of the street after the previous residence of the members of the order soon became popular. In the Lübeck Niederstadtbuch the name Balauwervorde is first recorded for 1440 . Other variants used in documents in the following centuries are Balouvervort (1458), Ballewervort (1460), Balauwervorth (1580), Balauwer Vorde (1584), Balowervorde (1589), Ballouwerforth (1608), Balvervor (1614) and Balauer Föhrde (1751) . The current name has been officially established since 1852.
