The Haasenhof is a listed monastery courtyard on Dr.-Julius-Leber-Strasse in Lübeck's old town .

Haasenhof

The Haasenhof is a monastery that the widow of the wine merchant Johann Haase (* 1652 in Hamburg ; † January 22, 1711), Magdalena Elisabeth Haase (* April 20, 1673; † August 1733), née Bauert, had built as a foundation from 1725 . The Haasenhof was completed in 1729 and is located at Dr.-Julius-Leber-Straße 37-39. Until 1946 the address was Johannisstraße 37 , but Johannisstraße was renamed. Six needy merchant or shopkeeper widows, two needy brewer widows and two destitute sailor widows, all with their children if they had any, could be accepted. Three further apartments were intended for six virgins in need, each of whom could live in two apartments. All widows and virgins were supported every quarter with a sum of ten marks . On the street side of the street, the Haasenhof has two small, plastered gabled houses with tail gables and two two-storey rows of stalls with the numbers 1–6 and 8–13 in the courtyard. At the rear of the west wing, a little set back, there is still a single house, the master's house with master's room on the first floor.

Previously it was assumed that the Haasenhof was rebuilt after everything older on the property was demolished, but the dating of the historically and art-historically valuable wall paintings discovered during restoration work in 1999 showed that at least the house with the master's room must be older. Research showed this and it turned out that there had been some owners before. From 1615 to 1657 the house was owned by Hans Witte. It burned down and stood empty from 1657. From 1677 to 1681 it belonged to the widow Anna Busch, who married the preacher Thomas Carstens - son of the former owner of the neighboring house ( Johannisstrasse 20 , owned for 25 years from 1649), Syndikus Joachim Carstens . From 1681 to 1687 she is named as Thomas Carsten's widow Anna as the owner. She married the lawyer Johann Adolph Höltich in third marriage, who is then named as the house owner from 1687 to 1696. Probably only formally, because it is said that Anna Höltich left the house to her heirs (presumably possible children from previous marriages) in 1696 and that they in turn left it to Johann Adolph Höltich. The first named and known owner of a house at Dr.-Julius-Leber-Straße 37-39 was councilor and later mayor Tidemann Warendorp from 1344 to 1345.

The Haasenhof is the youngest of the Lübeck colleges and is now a listed building . It is on the list of cultural monuments in Lübeck's old town , which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in December 1987 .

Magdalena Elisabeth Haase also donated a new pulpit to the Maria Magdalenenkirche in 1732 . Nothing is known about the whereabouts of this pulpit. The inauguration sermon of the superintendent Johann Gottlob Carpzov, however, is still preserved in print and digitized. She lived at Alfstrasse 38 until her death . There is also a memorial plaque in the house. It has not yet been clarified whether she and her husband commissioned the paintings there, with scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses , in the hall of the side wing on the upper floor. But it is obvious. Magdalena Elisabeth Haase was buried on the north side in the Marienkirche .

Paintings

The oldest paintings in the Haasenhof are the baroque wall paintings discovered in 1999 in the mansion's house . Such extensive and well-preserved paintings are very rare in Schleswig-Holstein. So far there has been no comparable find. Three walls of the room are completely painted with a large-leaf tendril painting, which is identical in form and detail to the painting on the wooden beam ceiling of the room. It is considered to be historically and art-historically valuable. But it disappeared again behind the later paintings on wooden panels , which are considered to be just as historically and art-historically valuable and behind which they were previously.

The paintings on wooden panels from 1725 to 1729 were created by the painter JS Schmidt (in one source also JH Schmidt ). The wooden panels that belonged to the original room furnishings covered all the wall surfaces and, in terms of composition, formed individual pictures, which were surrounded by 15 cm wide frames painted as an imitation marble. The themes of the paintings are genre pictures that form a thematic whole in the individual rooms. A romantic landscape with representations of lyrical figures, imaginative plants and flowers as well as animals, mostly flying or sitting birds, served as the background. He used templates for the birds. Biblical scenes on the subject of charity such as Elijah and the widow of Zarpath , the Good Samaritan , the miracle of the increase in oil , Ruth with ears of wheat before Boaz , a man asks a wandering woman into the house and Caritas , an allegory , were the subject in the chief's room. A wall in the master's room was painted in marbled retrospectively in 1910 and does not come from JS Schmidt. The two portraits of Johann Haase and his wife Magdalena Elisabeth Haase also hang in the chief's room, which are probably not by JS Schmidt in terms of style and were painted before, during Johann Haase's lifetime.

Haasenhof location

The Haasenhof was often used as a filming location.

In 1976 the Christmas story No Evening Like Any Other was filmed here. Directed by Hermann Leitner , Hans Jura was responsible for the camera and as actors, among others, Heinz Rühmann (as Röder ), Sir Peter Ustinov (as Billy ), Ilsemarie Schnering (as Mathilde ), Eva Maria Bauer (as a customer) , Sabine Hennemann (as Lisa ) and Konstantin Probst (as a boy) do their best. For the film, two shutters of the Haasenhof (in the film shutters by Billy ) were painted with the colors of the Union Jack . The first broadcast was on December 24, 1976 on ZDF .
