Karlshof (Lübeck)
Karlshof is a district of the St. Gertrud district of Lübeck .
history
The origin of this settlement goes back to the parceling and leasing of the Israelsdorfer Feldmark in 1781. Of the 15 parcels, parcels 1 to 8 form the core of Israelsdorf and parcels 9 to 15 that of Karlshof. In between lies the Schellbruch forest and the Medebek brook. The name goes back to the Russian consul general and merchant in Lübeck Karl von Schlözer (1780–1859), who leased four parcels of land from the city of Lübeck in 1845 and 1850 to acquire a farm there erect (lots 9 to 12). He received permission to call this settlement Karlshof . The original farm was on plot No. 9 (Travemünder Allee / corner of Am Schellbruch). The street name Hofweg is a reminder of those times. The Karlshof community center stands around this point today . Schlözer himself lived in his summer house in Israelsdorf (Waldstrasse / corner of Buchenweg). The farm was sold to the city of Lübeck on May 6, 1898, and from 1900 it was used as the official residence of the city forester. Schlözer's sister Dorothea von Schlözer was the first woman in Germany to obtain a doctorate.
Settlement history
The first development plan was drawn up in 1910 and only included the street Am Schellbruch . After the First World War , Karlshof was opened up by the settlement movement from 1920 and developed as a residential district. In particular, the Lübeck non-profit settlement cooperative built more than 100 settlement houses in Karlshof between 1920 and 1928 . Today, Karlshof is a suburban settlement in Lübeck that continued to be heavily built with single-family houses in the 1950s. In the upper Forstmeisterweg, upper Torneiweg and Hertzweg, the housing association Neue Heimat built several apartment blocks in the 1950s. The houses in Hertzweg and several apartment blocks in Luisenstraße were demolished in 2017 and replaced with new buildings. The settlement is located in the northeast of Lübeck on Travemünder Allee and borders the Israelsdorf district in the northeast .
church
The Evangelical Lutheran Church belongs to the Karlshof settlement. St Stephen's Church (consecrated 1956) and kindergarten on the Holzvogtweg / corner of Dornierstrasse.
school
In 1966, the Lauerholz elementary school was opened at the end of Holzvogtweg and the end of Dornierstraße . The original Lauerholz elementary school was from 1950 to 1966 at the end of the street An der Hülshorst, at the corner of Glashüttenweg, in a former industrial building of the North German Dornier works, later the state calibration office was housed here. The branch in Israelsdorf belongs to the former Lauerholz elementary school as well as to today's elementary school.
Buildings and land of particular importance
Airfield on Travemünder Allee
Before the First World War, the Lübeck airfield was located in Karlshof from 1912 in the area of today's sports fields on Travemünder Allee. In 1912 the airships LZ 11 "Viktoria Luise" and LZ 13 "Hansa" landed here , for 1913 an orientation flight for powered aircraft to Schwerin and Wismar is reported and in 1914 the landing site becomes a military airfield. The Karlshof airfield was operated from 1912 to 1919. After the completion of the Lübeck-Blankensee airfield in 1917, flight operations were gradually relocated there. In memory of this time, the streets around the airfield were named after important aviation pioneers (see there).
At the Hülshorst / Am Schellbruch
From 1941 to 1989 (demolition) a 70,000 m³ and 52 m high gas tank ( gasometer ) stood here, which was built in Glashüttenweg to supply the armaments industry.
Hofweg 11a
The Karlshof community center was built on this property from 1963 to 1966, largely in-house and with the help of donations.
Glashüttenweg / Am Wasserbau
From 1907 building on the banks of the Trave and construction of the state shipyard . Today the building yard of the Lübeck Waterways and Shipping Office.
Glashüttenweg 31
The armaments company Berlin-Lübecker Maschinenfabrik was operated on this property from 1934 to 1945 . Later extensions were made to the properties Glashüttenweg 29 (Hannemann company) and Glashüttenweg 33-35 (F building).
Glashüttenweg 44-48
In 1937, a military apprenticeship home and an aviation preschool was built on Glashüttenweg, which was then renamed Curt-Helm-Straße. The apprentices employed by the aircraft works on Glashüttenweg were housed here. In the same house they received their theoretical lessons and additional practical instructions. The barracks-like accommodation and a military-like drill, as was customary at the time with the Hitler Youth, were intended to ensure discipline and order in the community in accordance with the Führer principles applicable at the time.
The arrangement of the buildings and outdoor facilities has remained almost unchanged to this day. An L-shaped adjoining building is connected to an L-shaped building on the street An der Hülshorst on what was originally a two-storey main building on Glashüttenweg. The large courtyard behind it is flanked on two sides by the buildings.
The accommodation for the apprentices was on the upper floor of the main building and the classrooms and laboratories on the ground floor. The high attic was used for sports exercises.
The dining room and kitchen were located in the one-storey building with a basement. The conclusion was a two-storey caretaker's apartment. During the war, the outbuilding in the dining room area was destroyed by a bomb. After removing the rubble, a barrack was built on the cellar ceiling to replace the lost dining room. The imprint of the gable from the destroyed outbuilding is still visible on the main building today.
After the end of the war, the Glashüttenweg got its original name back. In May 1945, the British military first moved into the building. From 1950 the Lauerholz elementary school of Karlshof was located here. After the school had left the building at the end of 1966, the Lübeck Weights and Measures Office moved into the ground floor including the barracks in January 1967 and the trade supervisory office moved into the rooms on the upper floor. A caretaker took over the apartment in the remaining part of the former outbuilding.
With the move to the then federally owned property on Glashüttenweg, both offices seemed to have found a permanent location and a renewed change of location would no longer be necessary for the foreseeable future. After the state of Schleswig-Holstein had taken over the property and building from the federal property administration, the barrack was removed in 1973, a concrete ceiling was placed on the foundations of the outbuilding and a test hall for the calibration office was built on it. At the same time, the courtyard was paved so that it could also be used by heavy vehicles. By expanding the attic in 1980, additional office space was created for the trade inspectorate. The building was completely refurbished in 1990.
Because the need for space on Glashüttenweg could no longer be satisfied at the trade supervisory office, it moved to another location at the end of 1996. The rooms that became vacant were occupied by tax investigators for a number of years. The Waterways and Shipping Office then used most of the premises temporarily to renovate their own building.
After the creation of the calibration office north through the merging of the calibration administrations of Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the previous calibration office in Lübeck became a "branch office" of the calibration office north on January 1, 2004. This left its location on Glashüttenweg in August 2011 and moved to Bad Schwartau. Since then there has been no more calibration authority in Lübeck.
After a long period of vacancy, the Lübeck District Court has been using the building since September 2015 for the duration of the renovation of its own building.
Nurseries in Karlshof
The history of the nurseries goes back to the gardener Wilhelm Rose (1843–1909), who in 1869 acquired the 11 hectare plot No. 13 between Travemünder Allee and Torneiweg. He built the Wilhelmshof on the current property at Travemünder Allee 51 and ran the Wilhelmshöfer tree nurseries on the land . After his death, the business was greatly reduced and continued as the Richard Rose nursery (access via the Dornierstrasse 15 / 15a property) and the Macheit nursery (Travemünder Allee 53). The latter still exists today.
Sports facilities
On the Travemünder Allee between Zeppelinstraße and Jungborn, at the location of the first Lübeck airfield since 1919, there are municipal soccer fields of the Phönix Lübeck club (founded in 1903) and since 1926 the "Lübecker SV von 1913" and "Lübecker Sportverein Gut Heil" facilities from 1876 "including gymnastics and tennis hall as well as some tennis courts.
Street names
In the original (northeast) part, the street names are reminiscent of the Wilhelminian era ( Schlözerstraße , Hofweg).
Further to the west (in the middle part) there are forestry names (Forstmeisterweg, Jägersteig, Wildhüterweg, Holzvogtweg).
Important physicists / natural scientists were honored in the western outskirts (Albert-Einstein-Straße, Max-Planck-Straße, Celsiusweg, Fahrenheitweg, Heisenbergweg).
The names of important aviation pioneers can be found on the southern edge (Dornierstrasse, Eckenerstrasse, Zeppelinstrasse, Lilienthalstrasse). The street Torneiweg goes back to the field name tourneysveld , which was already in use in the Middle Ages , which can be interpreted as a reference to an old tournament venue . A map from 1910 shows the field name Auf dem Torney for the free area between Torneiweg and Glashüttenweg.
The street Glashüttenweg goes back to a factory of the same name, which existed here from 1841 to around 1871. Since the 16th century, this route was called down to the Travelodge way to Treidelhütte as the property of on the 1,882 separate Teerhofsinsel Treidelmeisters was.
Industry
In the 1970s, the street Glashüttenweg opened up the new industrial area An der Hülshorst / Niels-Bohr-Ring, in which mechanical engineering and packaging industries settled. In particular, the companies Wepa (corrugated cardboard and paper factory) and H. & J. Brüggen KG (cereals, mueslis and other grain products) in the upper Glashüttenweg as well as the Lubeca company, later Schmalbach-Lubeca (sheet metal and plastic packaging of all kinds) offered Hundreds of jobs. The industrial area on Glashüttenweg and Hafenstrasse now houses a high-bay warehouse for the Brüggen company , the local headquarters of the wind energy manufacturer Vestas , the headquarters of the Junge confectionery and numerous service providers in the boiler house of Henry Koch's former shipyard .
present
Today this area covers an area of approx. 1 km². The population of Karlshof / Israelsdorf / Gothmund has decreased from approx. 6800 (1989) to approx. 5900 (2018).
