The Kleine Bauhof is a street in Lübeck's old town .

location

The small building yard is around 150 meters long and is located near the southern tip of the old town island, in the Marien Quartier . It begins at the foot of the cathedral towers when the Mühlendamm meets the south-east corner of the large building yard , at the southern edge of which the small building yard initially runs westwards and then bends vertically to the south at the confluence of the Effengrube . After a good 60 meters, the road makes another bend and now leads west again, now remarkably wide, until it meets the southern end of the Obertrave on the banks of the Trave and ends.

history

The small building yard was first mentioned in a document in 1459 with the Low German name Up dem Buhowe (on the building yard). The name is derived from the municipal building yard which has been located here since the middle of the 13th century , a place that was primarily used to store building materials for urban buildings. Bowhöff is recorded as a name in 1629 , and in 1852 the street name that is still valid today was officially established. To distinguish it from the large building yard , which was previously known as the saw pit , which was also named at the time, the addition of small was added to the street .

The eastern section of the small building yard, which runs towards the cathedral on the southern edge of the square-like large building yard, was only slammed into the street after the Second World War , in which the historic buildings standing here were destroyed by the flaming cathedral spiers . This part was previously part of the large building yard.

The area of ​​the eponymous municipal building yard is still used today by the building administration of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck and is the seat of the transport department.
