Kapitelstrasse 7
The Chapter 7 street is a Grade I listed building in Kapitelstraße of Lübeck .
Property
The property was in the immunity district of the cathedral freedom of the Lübeck cathedral chapter and was first mentioned in 1323 as developed. His historic house number was Papenstrasse , Marien Quartier No. 916.
It had been owned by the cathedral chapter as a vicariate house since 1415 and, after the Reformation, was administered by the chapter for the owners of vicarages, who were now only grants and sinecurs . In the middle of the 18th century, the income was due to the mayor of Kiel, Jakob Noodt.
On September 1, 1755, the two Jesuit fathers commissioned with the Catholic pastoral care in Lübeck signed a lease agreement with the cathedral chapter, which turned the house into the community center of the Catholic mission with apartment and chapel. The lease allowed the priests to hold church services, but prohibited the decoration and enlargement of the chapel as well as any change in the external appearance of the house, which was not allowed to be recognizable as a chapel. The chapter confirmed the contract on September 15, 1755, also at the request of the Catholic Canon Johann Ferdinand von Elmendorff , Prince-Bishop Friedrich August . Elmendorff donated an altar for the chapel around 1763, the altarpiece of which, a painting of the birth of Jesus, has been preserved. Initially, the attendance of these fairs by city residents of Lübeck and the performance of official acts were subject to restrictions by the council. It was not until the French era of Lübeck that Catholics were granted freedom of belief through the incorporation of Lübeck into the French Empire in 1811, which the city council granted them after the French had left. The chapel in Kapitelstraße 7 was officially dedicated as a church to the Catholic community in Lübeck, which celebrated Holy Mass here until September 29, 1873. In 1865, the property on Kapitelstrasse 7 was transferred to the Catholic parish in Lübeck by the council, which had been the legal successor to the chapter since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . In 1873 the community acquired a larger cathedral curia on the parade , on which the provost church of the Sacred Heart was later built , and sold the property.
The confectioner Julius August Höppner lived here with his family from 1875 to 1902 . His son Hugo Höppner grew up here until 1887 and later became known as a painter and draftsman of Art Nouveau under the name Fidus .
Building
The street-side plastered facade of four axes under a hipped roof assigns the house to the classicism of the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The rear facade facing the courtyard is a Renaissance facade. The core of the house, however, dates back to the 14th century, so it is of Gothic origin. It has been a listed building since 1966 and was completely renovated in 1980.
