Society for the promotion of charitable activities

Kulenkamp became a member of the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities as early as 1891 .

Kulenkamp worked on the improvement of the cemetery art , the establishment of a building advice center, the redesign of the Lübeck museum system , the definition of the building alignment lines in the inner city , the design of public facilities and decorative places, as well as the difficult path for a monument protection law . He often commented on this in the Lübeckische Blätter .

In 1907 Kulenkamp joined the Association for Lübeck History and Archeology .

At the meeting of the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities on November 10, 1896, Kulenkamp was elected to the office of secretary on the board. On March 13, 1900, he resigned from the secretary to the circle of chiefs. The lawyer Fehling was elected to the company's board of directors on March 31, 1903 in place of the resigning Kulenkamp.

From 1909 to 1913 he was also a member of the Geographical Society . From 1911 he was also a member of the Association for the Care of Released Prisoners and the Morally Neglected .

His suggestion for the artistic decoration of the teachers' seminar with stone drawings should be exemplary for the newer school buildings .

Association of art lovers

View before 1908

He was at home in the world of fine arts from an early age and soon after joining the Association of Art Friends in 1891 he became its soul . An extraordinary consultation evening was held on October 21, 1901. Gustav Schaumann , the second chairman of the association, announced that Krüger, the previous chairman, was leaving his office due to health reasons. In choosing his successor, Kulenkamp was unanimously chosen. Until 1908 he was to lead the fate of the association. During this time he put the association at the service of practical art tasks and in this way had an art- educational influence on it. First of all, through the facade competition, he provided proof that the traditional Lübeck construction method , if properly developed, can definitely be combined with the requirements of modern life and traffic . An important provision of the new building regulations , for which Kulenkamp advocated, emphasized the impending preservation of the cityscape. This was followed by the ideas competition to obtain a development plan for the streets and squares between the Holstentor and Lindenplatz and the competition for the design of the new buildings at the Burgtor . While the solution of the first project was still pending when he died, he was able to address the pleasant cityscape of the latter as his own work. It was thanks to his energetic efforts that he was able to show the castle gate as early as 1908 to the Monument Preservation Day held in Lübeck and to the German Federation for Homeland Security , to which he had belonged since 1907, without the additions that had disfigured it for so long .

Another artistic act was connected with hard struggles. The city was “liberated” from Uechtritz's Kaiser Wilhelm monument . His contribution to this was undeniable. Kulenkamp was granted recognition by being appointed to the new commission for building regulations for an imperial monument.

The association for art lovers became a member of the Federation for Homeland Security under Kulenkamp's leadership . However, it soon emerged that a local Lübeck branch of the federal government had to be set up for the more extensive tasks of homeland security. When his statutory term of office at the Verein für Kunstfreunde expired in 1908, he made his experience as deputy chairman available to the new association, and there, too, earned merit in protecting his homeland against the destruction and spoiling of it. As early as 1912, he was called back to the board of the Association of Art Friends .

Following the joint meeting of the Association for Homeland Security with the Association for Art Friends on November 13, 1913, Kulenkamp brought that point back into the focus of public interest with his lecture on the design of the Holstentorplatz .

In January 1914, Kulenkamp was re-elected to the association's board for the election to supplement the board for the resigning Schlodtmann.

Kulenkamp also had many connections to art outside the country. He cultivated this on his travels to the meetings of the Association for Monument Preservation and the Federation for Homeland Security .

The art life in Lübeck should also benefit from Kulenkamp's personal friendship with Lichtwark .

family

Kulenkamp was married to Natalia Ignazia Silvia, née Mannhardt, a daughter of Julius Mannhardt .

They had three children. Maria Mercedes Helene (born May 8, 1895 in Lübeck; † May 13, 1985) published the obituary notices as Helene in 1915 . As early as 1914 she had registered for the voluntary military health service at the Red Cross . Against the wishes of her parents, she trained as a nurse there .
