The Brokes family owned half of the Lübschen Gut Krempelsdorf for six generations . The previous owner was the mayor of Lübeck, Heinrich Brockes II , an uncle of Christian. Christian Brokes became a member of the patrician circle society , which had reached a degenerative late phase, and was ennobled by Emperor Leopold II , both in 1773. In 1786 he built the Krempelsdorf mansion at the gates of the city, today as the parish hall of the Paul-Gerhard- Community used. The Krempelsdorf estate could not be held by the Brokes family, around 1792 the von Witzendorff family, along with the von Albedyll family, are documented as owners. Christian von Brokes lived in the house Johannisstrasse 5 in Lübeck in 1798 , that is, in a central location in Lübeck's old town and the Lübeck address book from 1798 gives him the job title "Patrician".
