The Rabbit Mountain is a residential area and a former estate in Lübeck-St. Gertrud .

The Rabbit Mountain covers a peninsula on the eastern bank of the Wakenitz . The low, sandy hill it consists of provides good, dry ground. Bordering the Wakenitz river to the west, it is surrounded by larger bulges to the north and south, which approach each other so closely to the east that only a very narrow land connection remains there. The large, very flat lateral bulges of the Wakenitz, of which the southern one is called The Small Lake , arose in the 13th century when the river was dammed in the city. Until then, the hill of Rabbit Mountain was connected to the neighboring lands on both sides by low meadows. Louis Hellwig saw the peninsula as a possible location for the Lion City in 1890 ; it was contradicted by Wilhelm Brehmer with reference to the changed topographical conditions. The rabbit mountain was also discussed as the place of the Olausburg .

In the course of the Wakenitz, the Rabbit Mountain lies between the First and Second Fisherman's Houses and was connected to the First Fisherman's House by a ferry. Initially owned by the city, the Rabbit Mountain with the courtyard on it was sold by the city in 1684 to the iron merchant Johannes Widderich, the father of councilor Johann David Widderich , and has been in private ownership ever since. In the 18th century, the owners included the mayor Franz Bernhard Rodde , Hans Hinrich Schön and a captain Gerber. After many unsuccessful efforts, Hans Hinrich Schön received permission from the Lübeck offices to set up a grist mill for the production of amidam (starch) on the Rabbit Mountain . In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Lübeck Amidam was considered a special quality product throughout Europe.

In 1829 the area comprised 3360 square rods. There were 1 owner there. 1 burner, 1 ferryman, 3 workers. 3 houses, 6 households. 3 horses, 40 cows and oxen, 8 pigs. 1 oil mill , 1 amidam factory, 1 distillery . In terms of the church, Rabbitberg belonged to the Aegidienkirche like all of the living spaces on the Wakenitz .

1834-1836 which provided senior man of climber Bernhard Ludwig Nöltingk on the Kaninchenberg cast iron manufacture goods. Eduard Geffcken used the existing windmill from 1836 to 1848 for grinding pharmaceutical raw materials and products.

In 1851 the early industrial use ended. 17 people (1815: 22) now lived on the Rabbit Mountain, including the tenant. There were four residential and two farm buildings, four households and the windmill.

The current mansion was built in 1890. There was already a house there before, which is described as follows in 1822: The newly built, tasteful garden house with its white walls stands out under dark trees, shimmering brightly, surrounded by a pretty garden, and next to it the large windmill protrudes to create a picturesque connection.

In the second half of the 20th century, the Graf Kanitz family was the owner.
