Lübeck regalia
The Lübeck regalia is the official clothing of the pastors of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lübeck or the Lübeck part of the Lübeck-Lauenburg parish of the north church .
The Lübeck regalia, together with the closely related Hamburg regalia, is a special regional form of the gown . It differs from this in its two-part structure ( lower and upper habit ), the cut and the ruff ( millstone collar ) instead of the beef .
The Unterhabit (old name: Summar ) is a tightly cut gown in the manner of a cassock , buttoned at the front with 17 covered buttons, which symbolically remind of the 10 commandments and the seven petitions of the Our Father .
The upper habit is the result of the open Renaissance cloak of the scholars and dignitaries , the Schaube , and essentially corresponds to the so-called Spanish costume of the senators of the Hanseatic cities . These include the trim with velvet braids, the deeply pleated back, pompous sleeves and the white linen, ruffle neck. In contrast to the Hamburg regalia, the velvet borders of the Lübeck regalia are smooth and without decorations; there is also a cloth strap on the chest.
Even if it is used almost exclusively in worship today, the regalia (like the robe) is not a liturgical garment in the true sense, but a class and official costume created from the dressing-up clothing .
