Kalkhof (Hamburg)
The Kalkhof was a municipal facility in changing locations in Hamburg . Today a street in the Neustadt district bears this name.
history
The Kalkhof was built on the wall frame in the middle of the 14th century . As a municipal facility, it was used to store facilities that the private and public construction industry needed for the production of lime materials . This included lime kilns and Göpel mills . The sales and distribution point as well as the offices of the Kalkschreiber were also located here. A lime kiln built decades earlier was located near the Kalkhof. When a new facility started operating, the Kalkhof was given the name "Alter Kalkhof" in 1616. After the Kornhaus was built, a new Kalkhof was built near the Dammtor . This had a direct connection to the Alster . Lime delivered by ship from Segeberg could thus be landed directly.
The Kalkhof ceased operations at the end of the 18th century. The reason for this was the cheaper, ready-burned Lüneburg lime . In 1826/27, today's Hamburg State Opera was built on the site of the Kalkhof . The lime ditch that was no longer needed was filled in and the Fehlandtstrasse was relocated on it.
Street
“Kalkhof” is now a 180 meter long street west of the Inner Alster near the Hamburg State Opera in Hamburg-Neustadt. The street was renamed in 1922 from “Schwiegerstraße” to “Kalkhof”.
