Lübsche Trade
The Lübsche Trade is a medieval trade route between the Hanseatic city of Lübeck and Dithmarschen .
History and course
The Lübsche Trade was particularly popular in the 14th century. It served to Lübeck merchants as a connection to the ports on the west coast, and the large markets in Heide , Meldorf and Husum , on the other hand after a corresponding contract with Lübeck the Hanse 1468-1558 associated free farmers from Dithmar as a way to markets of the Baltic Sea region. It also served as an army road against the Dithmarscher.
In Itzehoe , the Lübsche Trade (corresponds to today's B 206 on this section of the route ) crossed the Ochsenweg (corresponds to today's B 77 ).
Due to the overbuilding with modern traffic routes, the exact course through Holstein can only be traced in a few places today. For the Aukrug area , local history researcher Georg Reimer was able to clarify the historical course: The Trade came as a sandy path from Bad Segeberg and Neumünster via Ehndorf to Bünzen . What is certain is that the trade passed below the watermill in Bünzen and then on via Homfeld , Meezen , Altenjahn to Reher . From there there was a branch to Hohenwestedt . It is known that a Lübeck team was plundered in Meezen in 1557. There is a memorial stone at the confluence with the federal highway 430 (coordinates: 54 ° 4 ′ 1.6 ″ N , 9 ° 44 ′ 17.2 ″ E ).
