Course and meaning
The (Rippen-) Straße begins at a crossroads with the Breite Straße , the pedestrian zone, and then runs at a right angle to it to the east to the Elbe-Lübeck Canal . The extension to the west towards the Trave , which also begins in the Breite Straße, is the Mengstraße with the Marienkirche and the Buddenbrookhaus . The intersection on Breite Straße is also the geographical center of the world cultural heritage of the old town island. This point is of historical importance because the medieval districts of Jakobi, Marien, Marien-Magdalenen and Johannis quarters meet here. At the same time, it is the topographically highest point on the hill on Lübeck's old town island.
The street used to be called Johannisstraße because in the lower part, near the Elbe-Lübeck Canal, there is the former St. Johannis monastery , which today houses the Johanneum grammar school . There are also two Turkish fruit and vegetable shops on the street.
The street on which the old trade union building (now the Ordnungsamt) and the editorial offices of the social democratic Lübecker Volksbote were located was renamed in honor of the Reichstag member and resistance fighter Julius Leber after the Second World War.
At 7 p.m. on the evening of November 5, 1918, a meeting of the soldiers' council took place in the union building, chaired by Hans Zeitz and his deputy W. Rethfeldt. Then closed trains of soldiers and sailors left to occupy the post office, the train station and the barracks, to disarm the officers and to intern those higher in charge in the "Hotel International", Am Bahnhof 17 . The fact that the situation relaxed again in the course of the next day was evident from the fact that rail traffic, which had been suspended due to the station occupation, was resumed.
