The House

The middle row house Stübekamp 75 was - like the other houses on Stübekamp - completed between 1935 and 1939. It is part of the Frank'schen settlement in Klein Borstel , a district of Hamburg-Ohlsdorf. A total of 550 terraced houses belong to the settlement. In 1981 they were placed under environmental protection, in April 2011 under monument protection .
The settlement was developed and built for socially disadvantaged families by the free democratic social reformer and architect Paul Frank . With the exception of the end row houses, all houses had the same floor plan.
The simple brick buildings stand on an area of four by seven meters each. The ground floor was intended for the living room and kitchen. The ceiling height is around 2.20 meters. A narrow, steep staircase led to the upper floor with bedroom and children's room. A ladder and trapdoor led to the uninsulated attic. In the basement was the simple bathroom with toilet and metal sink. Bathtub or shower were not provided. The external design of the houses is still prescribed today: right down to the paintwork for house doors, windows and railings. Eternit flower boxes are mandatory. Awnings may only be attached to the rear.
The 4 meter wide gardens should serve the self-sufficiency of the residents. Cherry trees were planted in front of all houses. When the trees die, new ones are planted to this day.
The residents

After the accidental death of her husband, the carpenter Walter Lühr, the single Minna Lühr (* 1901) moved into Stübekamp around 1936. She supported herself and her little son Reinhard (* 1934) by working from home as a tailor for the children's fashion store Hamburger Kinderstube . In 1927 Minna Lühr joined the SPD .
She could afford the terraced house because of a special legal construction with which the houses were intended: permanent right of residence . After that, the residents did not become owners of the houses, but they could not be terminated by the settlement company, the permanent right of residence could be inherited and was recorded in the land register. Instead of rent, a small fee had to be paid. In particularly bad times, a sleeper at Lührs contributed to the income. That was not unusual at the time. Bad times began, for example, when the Hamburg nursery received fewer and fewer orders during the war and had to close. The seamstress kept her head above water with odd jobs and, like all neighbors, grew potatoes and vegetables in the garden. The settlement remained largely undamaged during the war.
Son Reinhard completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter and became a member of the SPD. At the end of the fifties he met his future wife Gerti from Cuxhaven (born December 22, 1934), who was a ward helper at the Ochsenzoll hospital , while having tea at the Tomfort Hotel . She moved into the row house on Stübekamp. The move was straightforward: their belongings could be transported by bike. At that time the pimping paragraph still applied . After that, for example, parents were also criminally guilty of allowing their children to have contact with possible sexual partners in their parents' home . Reinhard and Gerti therefore initially lived on different floors. They married civilly. The couple stayed in Stübekamp even after their son Mathias was born in May 1965. Minna Lühr left the housekeeping to her daughter-in-law, who had meanwhile also joined the SPD.

Reinhard Lühr modernized the small row house, built a tiled bathroom in the basement and a loft. At the Paul Hammers company he was promoted to construction manager, specializing in the renovation of old buildings.
Political
Minna Lühr did not seek a position in her party, but took part regularly. She carried leaflets for the local association into old age, participated in the working group of social democratic women and the workers' welfare . In the 1971/72 state election campaign, his son Reinhard made posters for the local association. With other Kleinborstelern he campaigned for the preservation of the Frank'schen settlement and in June 1972 became a member of the local committee Fuhlsbüttel of the district assembly Hamburg-Nord . In 1993 the family fought in a citizens' initiative to keep the post office in Klein Borstel. Mathias became the family's first high school graduate.
In the 1970s, after a major political controversy, the settlement society managed to ensure that the row houses, which were unprofitable for them, could be bought by the residents and also resold. For a long time Reinhard Lühr fought against the change in a citizens' initiative. Most of the Klein-Borsteler bought their house.
The last few years

When Minna Lühr celebrated her 80th birthday, there was space for over 80 guests in the narrow terraced house garden. In addition to friends and neighbors, Hamburg's First Mayor and other political celebrities also congratulated.
In 1995 the steep staircase of the Minna Lühr house was fatal. She fell and died as a result. Her son died in 2001.
