location
The approx. 220 meter long Engelswisch is located in the northwestern part of the old town island, the Marien-Magdalenen Quartier . It runs in a wide curve and connects the Große Altefähre with the Engelsgrube , into which it joins opposite the Schwönekenquerstraße . From the Engelswisch, the Petersilienstraße and the Alsheide branch off one after the other in the direction of the Trave .
history
The street was first mentioned in documents in 1294 as Goldoghenstrate , named after the Goldoge councilor family who owned land in this area in the 13th century . This naming persists with variations over a long period of time (1321 Platea Goldoghen , 1366 Goldowenstrate , 1407 Goldoweschenstrate , 1414 Platea Goldowen , 1419 Platea Goldenow , 1465 Goldouwerstrate , 1513 Goldenouwerstrate , 1574 Goldingerstrate and Goldemanstrate ).
Already in the 14th century a name was used in parallel: In 1364 the name Platea dicta Wisch (street, called Wisch) was found, the Low German word Wisch for meadow referring to the lowland that stretched west of the street to the bank of the Trave. In 1398 this name was then English Wisch , like the name of the Angel's Pit, derived from the nearby berths of the merchant ships going to England on the Trave. This name, too , was modified again and again over the following centuries (1404 Pratum anglicum , 1428 Goldoghenstrate, otherwise called de engelsche Wisch , 1458 Engelsche Wisch ).
At the end of the 16th century, the name derived from the Goldoge family was completely out of use. In 1759 the name was Engelswiese , and in 1852 the current name was officially established.

Since the Engelswisch was not affected by the air raid in March 1942 , it still has a closed, historically evolved street scene to this day.

Former warehouse of the Hans Wilcken brewery
The Wilkenschen Speicher in Engelswisch 15-21 was in 1981 one of the largest urban redevelopment projects in Block 96 of Lübeck's old town, which includes the area on the western side of the road from Engelswisch with the building block to Kleiner Burgstraße and Koberg . Here the mirror-inverted former hall houses nos. 17 and 19 with their Renaissance stepped gables from the 16th century, which were used as breweries from 1555 to 1972 (most recently by the Hans Wilcken brewery ), were demolished behind the façade and a new gymnasium was built Replaced for the Ernestin School on lots 15–21. So while the facades 17-21 were preserved for Engelswisch, the new facade no. 15 and behind it a uniform new structure, which is based on the building structure of the old structure and whose rear facades were redesigned based on historical forms.
Former bakery no.65
The traufständige building with a small half-timbered dormer above the portal since the beginning of the 14th century Backhaus been and was used as a bakery until 1964th The substance is determined by brick Gothic and Renaissance . The use as a bakery is noteworthy in that according to the Lübeck fire protection regulations as a result of the city fires of the 13th century, bakehouses were actually only permitted on corner properties in order to facilitate fire fighting. In the course of the renovation, the oldest commercial oven in Lübeck was excavated on the property and dates back to 1307. The excavated foundation of the oven was preserved in a surrounding concrete ring in the course of the renovation of the house, as the floor level in Engelswisch has increased by 3 meters since the 13th century due to embankments. Since the renovation of the house in 1983 by the architect Helmut Riemann , it has been used as the Engelswisch artists' center. In 2015, Dr. Thomas Jacob the building. Since then, it has housed holiday apartments and a yoga studio.
