Fischstrasse 7-9
The house at Fischstrasse 7-9 is a former building in Lübeck's old town .
history
In 1646 Hermann Segebade acquired the building at Fischstrasse No. 7 (according to old counting No. 97), and in 1662 he bought the neighboring house No. 9 (old No. 98). Since then, both plots have been in one hand, but initially kept their separate development.
In 1747 the owner at the time, councilor Hermann Brüning , sold both houses to the merchant Hermann Wilhelm Behncke . At a point in time that can no longer be determined precisely, Behncke had a new building erected instead of the two existing individual buildings, which occupied both properties. While the entry of the change of ownership in the Oberstadtbuch in 1747 clearly mentions two houses, a later note dated April 23, 1782 on the occasion of a loan repayment shows that it was now a single building. However, it was not expressly stated when the new building was erected in the meantime.
It is certain that the two original detached houses still existed in 1772, because in that year Behncke temporarily offered them for sale for unknown reasons, estimating 15,000 Lübische Marks for the larger house No. 9 and 7,000 marks for No. 7. However, he revised his intention to sell and the buildings remained in his possession. The new building therefore originated between 1772 and 1782.
After Behncke's death in 1784, the newly built house passed into the possession of his younger son Hermann Wilhelm Behncke the Elder by will. J., who sold it to his older brother in 1793, the future mayor Stephan Hinrich Behncke . He sold the house to Johann David Reddelin in 1819 . Reddelin's son sold it to the wine merchant Karl Gustav Bruhns in 1865 , and in 1873 it became the property of Johann Gottfried Kriete . In 1880 it was auctioned off to a Hamburg resident , from whom the Lübeck guild Bauhütte bought it in 1889 and made it their guild house.
In 1933 the Lübecker Spar- und Anleihekasse bought the house and at the beginning of 1934 left it to the Lübeck Section of the Steel Helmet , thus the SA , which gave it the name Franz-Seldte-Haus . The building was destroyed in the air raid on March 29, 1942 ; A new building was erected in its place in 1964, which in turn was demolished in 2016 to make room for the redesign of the founding district.
architecture
The 15-meter-wide facade , although it was built quite late in the 18th century, was rather conservative in design and still visibly baroque ; The unknown master builder used stylistic elements of the closer Rococo only very cautiously, for example in the two portals.
The fact that the house had two separate entrances, each with its own staircase , was a reference to its origins in two individual buildings. This was also demonstrated by other architectural elements: the ground floor and first floor were where the previous houses adjoined, almost completely divided by a partition wall that was in place until renovations in the late 19th century. The two rear wings of the old houses had remained unchanged during the new construction, which means that the building unusually had two courtyard wings and two courtyards. The wing of No. 9 was only demolished in 1911; of the other, only the basement from the 16th or 17th century remained. The cellars of the two older houses had remained almost unchanged when the new building was built.
Of the original interior of the house, only the large front room and an adjoining room on the first floor were preserved in 1934, which took up the entire front of the street. The hall was 9.90 meters long and 5.40 meters wide, had five large windows and was artfully decorated in Louis-seize style with occasional touches of Rococo. The two-lined adjoining room was unadorned , with the exception of a few rococo decorations in the corners of the stucco ceiling .
