Eduard Schlöbcke
Eduard Schlöbcke (born August 17, 1852 in Winsen (Luhe) , † March 19, 1936 in Lüneburg ) was a German architect and Prussian construction officer . He is considered to be the savior of the Lüneburg Kalkberg natural monument , a gypsum hat that was partially dismantled by 1921.
Life
Schlöbcke was the son of a watchmaker and attended the Johanneum Lüneburg during his school days . Already as a schoolboy he gave a speech at the graduation ceremony in which he called for the "cessation of overexploitation on the Kalkberg " and its maintenance.
From 1873 he studied architecture at the Polytechnic School in Hanover , in 1878 he graduated with the first state examination. From 1879 to 1880 he did his military service as a one-year volunteer , in the following years he worked in Weichersbach , Mottgers , Magdeburg , Neuruppin and Hamburg . In 1884 he became a member of the Bauhütte zum white sheet association in Hanover. From 1887 to 1895 he was an assistant at the Technical University of Hanover, which has since emerged from the Polytechnic School, and it was only during this time that he passed the second state examination in 1892. He stayed at the Technical University, where he taught as a private lecturer in architectural drawing and medieval ornamentation from 1895 to 1902 .
In 1902 Schlöbcke switched from teaching at the university to the state building administration, he was appointed as a district building inspector to the board of the Prussian Building Inspectorate in Celle . In 1907 he was transferred to Lüneburg in the same position and one year later promoted to the building or government and building councilor. Even before introduction of the age limit , he was in 1921 at the age of 69 years in the retirement staggered.
Eduard Schlöbcke tried to preserve the Kalkberg as a natural monument during his service in Lüneburg, but especially during his retirement. In 1928 he published a book called The Kalkbergführer . After the gypsum mining stopped in 1923, Schlöbcke set up paths and stairs as well as a lookout point on the top of the mountain. He succeeded in making Lüneburg's highest point (56 m higher than the surrounding area) the first nature reserve in the Lüneburg administrative district in 1932 .
On his 80th birthday in 1932, the city of Lüneburg began building the Schlöbcke fountain at the main entrance to the Kalkberg with a bronze bust depicting him and a plaque. Apparently fallen out of favor with the NSDAP , from 1933 it became quiet around him. His death in 1936 was hardly appreciated, and the late inauguration of the memorial fountain in the same year took place without representatives of the Nazi authorities. After the bust was twice the victim of vandalism , it was taken to the nature museum in 1964. The fountain is preserved without them.
