Large building yard
The Große Bauhof is a street in Lübeck's old town .
location
The square-like large building yard is located in the southwest part of the old town island, the Marien Quartier . It forms an irregular square about 80 meters diagonal in diameter, the northern boundary of which is the Hartengrube and which is closed off in the south by the small building yard . The east side is completely taken up by the long facade of the armory . The northeast corner of the large building yard meets the meeting point of the parade and cathedral cemetery together with the Hartengrube , the southeast corner merges below the cathedral towers at the confluence of the small building yard with the Mühlendamm . At the southwest corner, the Effengrube joins the large building yard.
history
Today's large building yard was first mentioned in a document in 1263 with the Latin name Apud sanctum Nicolaum ( near St. Nikolaus , i.e. the Lübeck Cathedral ). In the following years its name changed frequently:
- 1295: Sub monte prope capellam Sancti Johannis (below the hill by the St. John's chapel, i.e. St. Johann on the sand )
- 1318: Sub monte Sancti Nicolai (Below the hill of St. Nicholas)
- 1473: Tegen der Sagekulen over (opposite the saw pit, i.e. the place where the urban timber was sawed to size )
- 1608: Up St. Johans Barge (On the mountain of St. Johann)
- 1700: saw pit
- 1787: The Sagekuhl (The Sawmill)
Since the square has been used by the neighboring municipal building yard to cut up the tree trunks since the Middle Ages , it was officially named in 1852 and given its name, which is still valid today.
About three-quarters of the historic development on the edge of the large building yard was destroyed in the bombing raid on March 29, 1942 , when the burning spiers of the cathedral fell down and destroyed the houses.
