Lübeck Cathedral
The Lübeck Cathedral (also cathedral to Lübeck ) is the first major Backsteinkirchbau on the Baltic Sea and around 130 meters in length, one of the longest brick churches. The cathedral was consecrated in 1247 . Patrons of the Protestant Church are the Saints John the Baptist and Blasius (as in the Brunswick Cathedral ), Maria and Nikolaus .
Building history
In 1173, Heinrich the Lion, the founder, laid the foundation stone of the cathedral as a cathedral for the Diocese of Lübeck , after the bishopric of Oldenburg in Holstein had been relocated here under Bishop Gerold in 1160 . The church was consecrated as the episcopal church of John the Baptist and the parish church of St. Nicholas.
The then Romanesque cathedral was completed around 1230 and converted into a Gothic hall church from 1266 to 1335 by raising the side aisles to about the height of the central nave (to around 20 meters). Also in the mid-14th century took place the extension of the building structure through the establishment of a purely Gothic East chors under Bishop Henry II. Bochholt (1317-1341). This turned an amount of 28,000 marks on the 1341 completed choir in the middle of it also a remarkable grave plate made of brass is buried that the ore caster Hans Apengeter attributed. This construction measure doubled the length of the cathedral. After the completion of the Gothic choir, the Romanesque apse was torn down to the foundations . The difference between the two construction phases can also be clearly recognized by laypeople in the church: the older part is supported by massive, rectangular pillars , the younger Gothic choir by slimmer, round pillars .
Until the Reformation, the cathedral chapter was subordinate to the bishop and not the city council . In the course of the Reformation, the cathedral was jointly owned by the city and the cathedral chapter until 1803 and then became the sole property of the city when the cathedral chapter was dissolved. The Lübeck Cathedral Monastery became the museum location of the Museum am Dom at the end of the 19th century .
Over the centuries, the cathedral was damaged more frequently by weather and storms due to its free location on the water between Obertrave and Mühlenteich. In 1611 the northern spire had to be replaced, in 1648 a “ button and weather valve were thrown into the mill pond”, and around 1766 the small side towers were removed.
World wars
For the duration of its existence from 1897-1919, the cathedral was the garrison church of the Lübeck regiment .
Wilhelm Stahl accompanied the festive service for the dedication of the memorial at the organ , according to a design by Asmus Jessen , red clay tablets bore the over 800 names of the fallen in black, the cathedral parish on Death Sunday , November 23, 1924. The main pastor Christian Reimpell , who left the following year , could No longer hold this due to illness. The sermon was held by Pastor Herrmann Balcke. At the entrance of the ambulatory where the panels were located, the third pastor, Franz Linde, awaited the congregation after the sermon. After its unveiling , he handed it over to Hermann Julius Hartwig as a representative of the church council . The choir of the Oberrealschule zum Dom sang and Pastor Linde blessed the memorial afterwards.
After several bombs fell in the neighborhood during the heavy air raid on Lübeck on Palm Sunday from March 28th to 29th 1942 , in which one fifth of Lübeck city center was destroyed, the eastern vault in the high choir collapsed and the high altar was destroyed from 1696. The fire in the neighboring cathedral museum spread to the roof of the cathedral. Towards noon on Palm Sunday the spiers fell off; the organ of the Walcker company from 1893 behind the prospectus of the Arp Schnitger organ from 1699 fell into flames. However, relatively large parts of the interior such as the triumphal cross and almost all medieval winged altars were saved. As a result of the war, the unsecured gable of the north transept collapsed in 1946 , buried the paradise porch under itself and almost completely destroyed it.
The medieval cloister on the south side of the church connects with the structure of the Museum for Nature and Environment and the archive of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck .
Reconstruction after 1945
The reconstruction took a few decades, as the priorities here were more on the reconstruction of the Lübeck Marienkirche . First the towers and the western part of the church were repaired, followed by the east choir and finally the paradise vestibule on the north side of the cathedral. The reconstruction, supervised by Friedhelm Grundmann and Horst Sandtmann , was not completed until 1982.
Like all of the towers in Lübeck's main churches that were rebuilt after the war , the spiers received a substructure made of lightweight concrete after the medieval foundations of the two towers had been hydraulically raised and reinforced.
Dimensions
The length of the cathedral is 131 meters; it is one of the longest church buildings in Germany. With its tower height of almost 115 meters, the cathedral is the second tallest church building in Schleswig-Holstein. The vault height is 20 meters.
Furnishing
The cathedral was and is the most richly furnished church in Lübeck after the Marienkirche . With regard to the stone sarcophagi in its grave chapels, the cathedral in Lübeck occupies a prominent position.
Triumphal cross
In the cathedral is the striking 17 meter high triumphal cross by the Lübeck artist Bernt Notke , which dominates the nave . It was donated by the Lübeck bishop Albert II. Krummendiek and erected in the nave in 1477. In the case of this central work of art, too, it was not until the 20th century that the art-historical assignment to artist and workshop was possible. The preacher Zietz remarks only briefly in his account around 1820:
“In front of the choir, a large, curled wooden cross with several kneeling and standing figures hovers on a transom. Bishop Albert von Crumedyk had it put there in 1477, he died in 1489 November. Thereby he perpetuated his portrait, together with a Magdalena, under which figure, according to legend, his co-sleeper is represented; a lot of diligence in the execution was proven by the artist. "
This classification of Notke's work as hard work changed vividly in the course of the 19th century, and the art historian Grautoff, who was critical of the church, remarks:
"The most important monument of this time is the Triumphal Cross in the cathedral donated by Bishop Albert Crummedyk in 1477, the most excellent testimony to the well-trained skills of the Lübeck artists, which unfortunately, like many other art monuments in the cathedral, was very badly spoiled by unskillful restoration in 1894."
baptism
The bronze Fünte by Lorenz Grove from 1455 replaced the old stone Fünte made of limestone from the Swedish island of Gotland , which is now in the church of Klein Wesenberg . Until 1942, the baptism stood in front of the organ in the west of the church near the entrance, which used to be the traditional location of baptismal fonts in churches. When it was rebuilt after the Second World War, it was moved to a baptistery redesigned by Sandtmann and Grundmann between the rood screen and the east choir.
pulpit
The Renaissance - pulpit was donated in 1586 by the then minister Dionysius Schünemann and by the Flemish Steinmetz Hans Fleming built. It rises above a pedestal, which is carried by a statue of Moses . The pulpit is decorated with seven alabaster reliefs depicting scenes from the life of Jesus, all of which were made by the Flemish sculptor Willem van den Broeck . The sound cover with a statue of the risen Christ dates from 1570, the staircase was renewed in 1731 in the late Baroque style. A special work of art is the wrought iron grille in intricate shapes, which was donated in 1572 by the brotherhood of the Stecknitz drivers .
Rood screen with church clock
The carvings for the exterior cladding of the rood screen were also created by Bernt Notke. It is a foundation of the mayor of Lübeck Andreas Geverdes , which was completed in 1477 together with the triumphal cross. The model was the rood screen in Magdeburg Cathedral , Geverde's original hometown. The four statues show the cathedral's cartridge ; from north to south there are Saints Nicholas , Mary , John the Baptist and Blasius .
The church clock at the south end of the rood screen dates from 1628.
Winged altars
The famous altar by Hans Memling from the Greveraden Chapel in the north aisle has been in the Middle Ages collection of the Museum of Art and Cultural History in St. Anne's Monastery since the Second World War .
However, there are more winged altars in Lübeck Cathedral that are worth seeing. The altar of the Canonical Times of Day on the south side of the Triumphal Cross dates from the first third of the 15th century; on the basis of the hymn Patris sapientia he connects the seven hours of the day with events from the Passion of Christ.
Panel paintings
In addition to numerous portraits, there are two large-format panel paintings in the cathedral , both of which date from the 17th century. One shows Saint Christopher (1665) and hangs over the portal that leads from the north aisle into the Paradise porch. The other, the lamentation of Jesus Christ to the ungrateful world , is dated to the end of the 17th century; It shows Jesus Christ, who approaches the viewer and refers him to the New Testament opened in John 14, combined with the inscription that has become known as the Lübeck Cathedral saying :
I am the light - you do not see me.
I am the way - you don't walk me.
The truth - you don't believe me.
Life - they don't look for me.
I am rich - I am not asked.
I am noble - I am not served.
The most beautiful - you don't love me.
I am Merciful - I am not trusted.
I am Almighty - I am not feared.
I am a teacher - I am not followed.
you will be damned - do not deny me.
Stained glass
All of the cathedral's glass windows were destroyed in 1942 and were given simple, diamond-shaped lead glazing made of opaque glass during the reconstruction . Professor Alexander Linnemann from Frankfurt designed and built two windows for the cathedral around 1900. Only the west window, now freely visible due to the destruction of the organ, was artistically designed by Lothar Quinte in 1963/64.
Funerary chapels
After the Reformation, the numerous side chapels of the cathedral became funerary chapels for the members of the cathedral chapter . The located in the south aisle chapels grave is found from the Baroque period by said in Copenhagen based Flemish sculptor Thomas Quellinus created Tomb of the Danish Chancellor Johann Hugo von Lente . Also in the south aisle is the burial chapel of the Gottorfish statesman Magnus von Wedderkop and his wife.
The tomb of Prince-Bishop August Friedrich († 1705) and his wife Christina, also created by Quellinus, is located in the Marientidenkapelle from 1445 at the eastern end of the high choir . The new prince-bishop's burial chapel was built for his successors until 1747 under the supervision of the Eutinian court architect Johann Christian Löwen , known as Lewon .
By dividing the old sacristy in the eastern half and extending it to the north, a two-bay room was created. It is open to the north aisle of the cathedral with a sandstone portal created by Hieronymus Hassenberg . The room is spanned by a barrel vault , the rococo stucco decor of which is believed to have originated from the Eutin court sculptor Johann Georg Moser . In each of the two vaults there is a circular field with a tondo on canvas; the northern picture, which showed God the Father enthroned, is lost; the southern one shows the risen Christ in a version that was heavily painted over in 1869.
The chapel was completely restored in 1985/1986. The older coffins were created by the court sculptor Theodor Schlichting (around 1680–1746). Prince-Bishop Christian August († 1726) and his wife Albertine Friederike († 1755), the daughter of Margrave Friedrich zu Baden-Durlach , rest in the chapel ; Prince-Bishop Karl († 1727); Prince-Bishop Friedrich August , first ruling Duke of Oldenburg († 1785), and his wife, Ulrike Friederike Wilhelmine von Hessen-Kassel († 1787), and Duke Peter Friedrich Wilhelm (Oldenburg) († 1823).
The burial chapel of the von Berkentin family was located under the north tower. Christian August von Berkentin and his daughter Louise von Plessen , among others , were buried here. Since the destruction caused by the air raid on Lübeck in World War II, her sandstone sarcophagi have been together with the rest of her family in the south-easternmost ambulatory chapel of the cathedral.
In 1737, the future Provost Jacob Levin von Plessen bought a room (actually a corridor) in the south of the choir near the Rochus Chapel and had it converted into a burial chapel for himself and his family. He had the room, closed by an iron lattice door, decorated with a rococo cartridge with his coat of arms. This is placed on the star of the Order of St. Anne and surrounded by its motto Amantibus iustitiam pietatem fidem . During the reconstruction after the Second World War, the cartouche and Plessen's sandstone sarcophagus were set up together with the Berkentin coffins.
Among other things there is a sandstone epitaph by the Flemish sculptor Robert Coppens from 1597 for the Novgorod driver and businessman Albert Schilling († 1574) with a relief of the Entombment of Christ in alabaster, signed with the monogram "RC", and an elaborate alabaster epitaph for the Dean of the cathedral chapter Ludwig Pincier (1616).
Bells
A cathedral bell from 1315, the oldest datable bell in the region, was given to the museum in 1912 and is now on display in the Katharinenkirche .
Six church bells hang in the towers, all of which, except for the historic bell 5 , were cast in Sinn by the Rincker bell and art foundry in 1965 . The bells hang on cranked yokes in the steel bell cage, and the bells have counterweight clappers. When the tower renovation is complete (presumably 2023), a wooden belfry with wooden yokes will be planned. In 2011, the Lübeck-Lauenburg church district put an audio file of the cathedral bells online.

Former bells
The cathedral's pulse bell, cast by Dietrich Strahlborn in 1745, was the largest bell in Lübeck until it was destroyed in 1942; it had a diameter of 2.32 m and a weight of approx. 8000 kg.
The Maria Bell, which was cast in 1390 and destroyed in World War II and was then the second largest , had rare, art-historically significant bell carvings , which are honored in a work by the art historian Ingrid Schulze in a separate chapter.
Church music
The community is firmly integrated into Lübeck's musical life. Thanks to long-time cantor and organist Uwe Röhl (1925–2005), the cathedral is the venue for the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival . His successor until February 2018 was Hartmut Rohmeyer . The cathedral choir, founded in 1948 by the church musician Erwin Zillinger as successor to Wilhelm Stahl , regularly performs large oratorios .
Former Schnitger organ
Until 1942 there was a large organ in the westwork of the cathedral, which was based on an instrument that was built by Arp Schnitger between 1696 and 1699 . The three-manual instrument was built with 45 registers. It was Schnitger's largest plant in Schleswig-Holstein. The construction management was held by his master craftsman Hans Hantelmann ; the Lübeck carver Johann Jakob Budde created the prospectus with lavish decor, crowning and side figures and sweeping carvings. Because of the conceptual similarities with the Hamburg Jacobi organ , it is assumed that a Hamburg elevation was used for the cathedral organ. The organ was approved by Dieterich Buxtehude and the cathedral organist Johann Jacob Nordtmann. Handel and Mattheson played the new organ in 1703, probably also Johann Sebastian Bach in 1705 .
In 1892 and 1893, the company EF Walcker replaced the organ, but kept the historical prospectus. Schnitger's console was expanded in the course of this and came to the St. Anne's Museum and in this way escaped the organ's destruction in 1942. The oak principal 8 ′ of the chest was retained as a register and is now playable in a house organ. In addition to two metal pipes from the interior, which are now in the St. Anne's Museum, two register bars with the register names have been preserved. These bars made of blackened walnut wood with lettering made of gold bronze are 59 cm wide and 3.8 cm high. These register bars show that seven registers were once arranged horizontally on the left and right of the play area. With these register bars, technical conclusions and the position of the registers on the wind chests of the main work and the Rückpositiv can also be made indirectly. The arrangement of seven stops next to each other corresponds to the organ of St. Jakobi in Hamburg .
The bar that has been preserved for the main work was to the left of the manual keyboards and names the register names: Tremulant - Quintaden 16 f. - Spitz floit 8f. - Rohrfloit 4 f. - Nasat 3 f. - Trommet 16 f. - Trommet 8 f.
The surviving bar of the Rückpositiv was to the right of the manual keyboards and names the register names: Ventiel Pedal - Ventiel Rügpositiv - Dulcian 16 f. - Scharff - Sexquialt - Octav 4 f. - Gedact 8 f.
In 2002 a symposium was held together with the Lübeck University of Music on the subject of the reconstruction of the Arp Schnitger organ from 1699. As a result, such a reconstruction was considered technically feasible, but was rejected mainly for monument conservation reasons. The discussion that followed was controversial for years. Initially, representatives who advocated building a new organ that were based on the sound and design of the Schnitger organ, but presented formally independently and as an additive building measure of the 21st century, predominated.
In 2012 the parish council decided on an award-winning design that provides for extensive reconstruction. The prospect , which was destroyed in 1942, was copied in 2000 in the Swedish Örgryte New Church with the help of the Göteborg Organ Art Center using old photographs and scale information . These experiences should benefit the new organ, which is planned in the westwork on a lettner-like arch.
The original disposition is only attested in 1822 by the organ builder Theodor Vogt:

Cathedral organ
Today's cathedral organ was built in 1970 by the Danish organ builder Marcussen & Søn from Aabenraa . The instrument was not placed in the westwork, where the large Schnitger organ was located until 1942, but was built on the wall of the north aisle because the westwork was to be kept free. The simple, symmetrical prospectus with a classic arrangement of works was designed by the Hamburg architect Friedhelm Grundmann . The slider chest instrument has 47 registers and two auxiliary registers on three manuals and pedal. The game actions are mechanical, the stop actions are electric.

Baroque organ
Next to it is a baroque organ by Biaggio di Rosa from 1777 in the cathedral, which is the property of the Lübeck University of Music . The instrument is movable and has ten stops on a manual and attached pedal. In 2000, the factory was repaired by Jürgen Ahrend . The historical substance is exceptionally well preserved without any loss of register. The organ has a pitch of a 1 = 415 Hz (a semitone lower than usual today) and a mid-tone tuning , which makes it particularly suitable for the performance of Renaissance and Baroque music.

Luther beech
To commemorate the 700th anniversary of the cathedral (1873), an offshoot of the Luther beech from the Luther monument (Steinbach) arrived in Lübeck near Bad Liebenstein in Thuringia and was planted in the cathedral cemetery.
Legends
Main article in Wikisource : s: Dom zu Lübeck # Sagen
The cathedral is the site of several legends, including the legend of the founding of the cathedral , which is depicted in a two-part mural in the south aisle, and the legend of the rose of Canon Rabundus, which was included in Ludwig Bechstein's German book of legends , but was passed down by Erasmus Francisci as early as 1695 .
Cathedral and parish today
The cathedral had been one of the three episcopal churches of the North Elbian Church since 1978 , the last bishop of the Holstein-Lübeck district was Bärbel Wartenberg-Potter from 2001 to 2008 . For a time, the cathedral was then intended to be the preaching place of the owner of the new leading episcopal office of the North Elbe Church, which was to be occupied in 2009. In the course of the merger negotiations for the North Church in February 2009, however, this occupation was waived and it was decided that the seat of a regional bishop of the new church would be Schwerin; According to the constitution of the North Church, the Lübeck Cathedral is, alongside the Schwerin Cathedral, an equal place of preaching for the regional bishop / bishop at the moment Kristina Kühnbaum-Schmidt .

St. Johannis on the sand
The predecessor church of the cathedral was Lübeck's first church, St. Johann auf dem Sande , located in the direction of the Trave in front of the cathedral , which was roughly at the site of today's building yard . This church was consecrated by Vizelin in 1150 , but after the relocation of the diocese from Oldenburg to Lübeck it was no longer sufficient for the bishops' love of splendor, which is why the decision to build the cathedral in the immediate vicinity was made. The gable of this church collapsed in 1648, four years later the church of St. Johannis auf dem Sande was completely demolished.
Funeral ceremonies
Citizens of high standing receive their last service here. Until 1937 these were then directed through the city to Gottesacker ( Burgtor- or Ehrenfriedhof ). Among them were Ernst von Heynitz , Curt von Morgen and Willy Rohr .
Although Lübeck lost its statehood in 1937, such services are still held here today. The mourned, such as B. Uwe Barschel , but are no longer necessarily buried in Lübeck.
