Gothmund
Gothmund is a fishing settlement on the Trave , between Lübeck and Travemünde , not far from the Herrentunnel . Today, the area, together with the Karlshof and Israelsdorf districts, is part of the Lübeck-St. Gertrud . In the Varendorf map from 1796 the place is called Goodmund .
history
The Gothmund fishermen are mentioned for the first time in 1502 in a minutes of the Lübeck council meeting: de vischere to deme Godmunde, tegen Symesen awer liggende (The fishermen in Gothmund are opposite Siems) and in 1585 received their own rights in the first general fishing regulations. The settlement originally served as a stopover to shorten the long return journey on the Trave to the ports of Lübeck for fishermen coming from the Baltic Sea . The natural protective harbor is separated from the Trave by a belt of reeds. At first there were only simple cottages (shelters) for short stays, later permanent houses were built. An example of the historical fishermen's cottages is set up in the Schleswig-Holstein open-air museum in Molfsee near Kiel . The settlement was badly damaged by the Baltic storm flood on November 13, 1872; in a fire in 1893 almost half of all houses were destroyed.
Current condition
The thatched fishermen's houses can now be viewed through a path that leads through the settlement. The houses at Fischerweg 10 to 18 are listed as historical monuments. The settlement itself is car-free. In the natural shelter there are still some actively used fishing boats. The Schellbruch nature reserve begins immediately to the west of the settlement . The place is on the Treidelstieg of the Trave, from which the sailing ships used to be towed when the wind was unfavorable.

Artist colony
In the mid-1880s, the first artists came to Gothmund to process motifs from the fishing village on the Trave, and the small Gothmund artists' colony was created . One of the first was the Hamburg painter Ernst Eitner ( Fischerhäuser in Gothmund ), who adapted the style of French Impressionism . Carl Malchin , Gustav Wendling , Andreas Dirks , Arthur Illies , Christian Rohlfs ( houses under thatch behind trees, Gothmund , 1899) and others joined them at times .
