The core of the Guttempler Logenhaus in Flensburg consists of an 18th century building. Since the beginning of the 20th century it served as a box house for the Flensburg Guttempler . The building at Schloßstraße 35 is one of the city's cultural monuments today .

history

Establishment and original use

The building was built in 1772/73 on a garden site near Duburg , which had previously been auctioned , as the summer house of the bailiff Count von Haxthausen . Shortly afterwards, in 1779, it was acquired by master shipbuilder Johann Sörensen Halkier. It served this as a summer residence "Catharinenlust". Inside the building, a large hall has been preserved from this period, which is characterized by an ornate wall structure with wall panels and wall paintings with mythological figures from Roman antiquity. The stucco work in the hall may have been by Francesco Antonio Tadey .

In 1886 the state technical school for machinists of sea steamers, the first school of its kind in Prussia, moved to Schloßstraße 35, probably the house in question. Teaching began on October 1st of that year. The school in question was attached to the Navigation School in September 1933 .

Conversion to the Guttempler lodge house

In 1851, the Order of the Good Templars was founded in the United States to combat alcoholism (see abstinence movement ). The order spread in the following years in England and Scandinavia. The first German lodge was founded in Hamburg in 1873, but it only existed for a few years. In the 1880s, the good templars, coming from Scandinavia, also spread in northern Schleswig . In 1883 the "Pioneers" lodge was founded in Hadersleben . The first permanent establishment within the borders of today's Germany finally succeeded in 1887 in Flensburg. On October 9th of the year the lodge "Digynia" was founded there. The first Guttempler office was located at Vereinsstrasse 27. In 1905/06, master mason Carl Schulz converted the building into a lodge house for the Guttemplerverein. He added a stairwell extension on the east side and a tower-like extension on the southern entrance side to the two-story building, which also has a very high basement. At the same time, the building received a new plastered facade.

Directly to the south of the Logenhaus, in Burgstrasse , there was obviously a second building that belonged to the Guttempler that they called “Logenheim IOGT”. It is unclear when this was built or acquired. After the Second World War, this second building served as a movie theater called the "Burg Theater" and subsequently as a supermarket. In the 1980s the Guttempler Logenhaus was at least partially used by a ballet school. The Guttempler still used the lodge house in part until the beginning of the new millennium. After the ballet school moved away, the “Schapptüch” social department store (owned by Martinstift ) took over their premises in the box house and the neighboring supermarket.

The current headquarters of the Flensburger Guttempler, at Apenrader Straße 62a.

today

Today's Flensburg Guttemplergemeinschaft "Freischar" bought a former post office building in Apenrader Straße 62a in 2005 , where they have met every week since then. The old corner building on Burgstrasse and Schloßstrasse was recently used as an advice center for alcoholics of the Good Templar Order. Recently the building has served various purposes. The “WTEO Martial Arts Academy Flensburg” is currently located there.
