geography

Cleverbrück is the most south-westerly district of Bad Schwartau and comprises the area southwest of the Clever Au , north of the Tremser Teich and Lübeck Landgraben (which form the border with Lübeck ) and east of the local border with Stockelsdorf .

The center of Cleverbrück was formed by the triangular "Schmuckplatz" at a fork in the road - today "Björnsen-Platz".

history

Cleverbrück was founded in 1904 by J. Ferdinand Björnsen as an upscale residential area " Villenkolonie Cleverbrück" (on land previously used for agriculture) and systematically advertised. In such an advertisement, the villa colony was also referred to as the garden city . A brochure from 1910 described it as a garden city bordering Bad Schwartau, five kilometers from Lübeck.

The district is located on the land of the former village of Cleve (part of the former large community of Rensefeld ), which ceased to exist (at the latest) with the acquisition of the last two Clever Hufen by Ferdinand Björnsen after 1897. The street names Cleverhofer Weg and Clever Tannen still remind of these times .

On March 17, 1904, the construction of a bridge over the Clever Au began . It was around this time that Ferdinand Björnsen developed the plan for the establishment of the Cleverbrück villa colony on the southeastern part of his country. For the selection of the location of the villa colony, the quiet location on a slope rising to the north, southeast of a forest, with a view of Lübeck across the Lübeck Landgraben and the Tremser pond was decisive.

After the development plan was available in 1906, the site was developed and built - around 26 houses had been built by 1909, 55 houses by 1914. The First World War led to an interruption of the settlement. After its end, development was only slowly resumed.

In 1934 the rural community of Rensefeld was dissolved and Rensefeld and ( inter alia) Cleverbrück were incorporated into the city of Schwartau .

Surname

The name is derived from the former village of Cleve - the name of the Clever Au , the "Clever Landmark" , is also derived from the name of the village . The name is the origin of the naming of numerous streets in today's Cleverbrück.

The continuing education schools have always been located outside Cleverbrück.
