history

View of the Shepherd's Pond (1926)

The name does not derive from the people or the land of Israel , but is a further development of the medieval name Yrsahelestorp . This name can already be found in the chronicle of the Lübeck Franciscan Detmar from the year 1385 (Old High German yrsa "to err, to get lost"; helen "secretly"). This fits in well with the remote location far outside the Lübeck city walls in the middle of a forest. Bruno Warendorp is named as the sole landowner of Israelsdorf in 1354. The estate changed hands several times until it fell to the city of Lübeck in 1513. In the Lübeck combing book (1316-1338) listed as israhelestorpe with 16 houses.

Despite the original German origin of the name, the settlement was renamed Walddorf during the time of National Socialist rule (1933–1945). The Israelsdorfer Allee leading there from Lübeck was renamed Travemünder Allee and still bears this name today.

The leasing of 1780/1781

In the topographical work The Free and Hanseatic City of Lübeck from 1890 information is given about Israel village and the history of the village, which the city associated Feldmark finally in 1781 leasehold was laid. The protocol of their memorials and votorum of the four major and all associated offices shows that on August 4, 1780, the vote in pto. des Guths Israelstorff was put into liquidation.

The Lübeck advertisements reported on August 19 that for every bushel arable, garden. Wiesen- und Waldgrundes 3 Lübische Marks had been fixed and October 2nd was decided as the liquidation date .

On September 28, the bourgeois colleges and offices rejected this decision and instead voted for a one-year term and thus against the long-term lease. of the good.

On June 29, 1781, the Senate announced how much the same happened or. Approve hereditary and temporary lease of the Israelsdorf estate and associated land and the lease was completed.

There were many foreign towns in which, according to the announcement in the Lübeck advertisements of September 9, 1780, the leasing conditions were laid out. Schleswig , Rostock and Güstrow are only mentioned here as the most distant cities.

In the following decades, the specialty of the associated liquor license for coffee developed into a profitable business in the form of excursion restaurants, such as the Israelsdorfer Forsthalle, which made Israelsdorf a popular local recreation area for townspeople among Lübeck residents.

Lustholz

In the years 1763 to 1765, the forest northeast of Israelsdorf was opened up for recreational purposes by Lübeck's Higher Court Procurator Laban at his own expense. As a result, the striking star-shaped complex was created with eight circular promenade paths and a central roundabout as an extension of today's Hasselbruchweg . To the northeast, a path led into the now no longer existing wood named Fischerhorst on the Trave. Hedges, seating and small shelters rounded off the facility. This facility was not accepted by the Lübeckers and fell into disrepair during Laban's lifetime . As far as we know today, the Lustholz in Israelsdorf was the first specifically designed recreational forest in Lübeck.

Katharinenwiese

Memorial stone Katharineum

Katharinenwiese is located on the southern edge of Israelsdorf (directly on the B 75 ) . From 1920 to 1970 it served as the venue for the annual Katharineum school festivals . The highlight of this event was the legendary Primaner pentathlon .

A memorial stone for the victims of the war was originally on the Katharineumswiese . However, since this did not offer a worthy setting for this in the eyes of the Katharineer , negotiations with the cemetery administration and, with their approval, transferred to the Lübeck cemetery of honor. This memorial stone of the Katharineum is now in a somewhat hidden location. A designation of origin is missing; however, the symbol of the school (sword and wheel) can be clearly identified. The inscription reads:

"Our dead / in memory / the youth / for reflection and admonition / AD 1950"

Today the meadow is operated as a well-frequented forest playground by the city of Lübeck. In the year 2000 the association Kinderschutz-Zentrum Lübeck carried out a comprehensive redesign with the help of sponsorship money.

Military historical episode

With the establishment of the Lübeck Military Department on April 1, 1834, the accommodation of the Lübeck soldiers was reorganized. The cavalry experienced something special : from October 1, 1835, they were housed on the Israelsdorf estate. A riding arena and a parade ground were even created. The city did not have the money to build permanent barracks. In 1848 the Federal Assembly decided to reorganize the Federal Army ; the Lübeck contingent then no longer had to provide cavalry. The small cavalry department in Israelsdorf with a sergeant and 14 riders was left there until 1852 as a land dragon (i.e. carrying out police duties). After 17 years, the function of Israelsdorf as a military base ended.
