Roeck and the fine arts
Through friends such as Friedrich Overbeck and Theodor Rehbenitz as well as more extensive acquaintances such as Peter von Cornelius, Roeck was already closely related to the art of his time as a student at Heidelberg University. He himself was by no means an untalented dilettante in the enlightening sense and the archive of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck keeps a portfolio of drawings mostly by his hand, most of which have not yet been published. Influenced by Carl Friedrich von Rumohr's ideas, Roeck campaigned for monument protection in Germany early on . In Lübeck, the first legal provisions were passed in 1818. On the administrative side, Roeck was one of the saviors of the art treasures of the Maria Magdalen Church in the castle monastery in Lübeck. During his life he built up a small art collection, which on his death fell into the Lübeck collections of the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities . Some of them are still part of the collections of the St. Anne's Museum in Lübeck.
