Lübeck house names

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lübeck house names were used to identify buildings until the Lübeck house numbers were introduced in 1796. Since the city was founded, the individual houses had their own names, which were, however, subject to changes and not regulated or permanently fixed. Until the end of the 19th century, individual distinctive house names were used parallel to the numbering.
