Lastadie (Lübeck)
The Lastadie is a street in Lübeck .
location
The Lastadie is located on the Wall Peninsula , on the western bank of the Trave opposite the street An der Untertrave . In its current form, it connects Marienstraße at the swing bridge with Willy-Brandt-Allee , into which it joins after running in a southerly direction through a bend at a right angle just before the music and congress hall .
history
The name is first mentioned in 1548 as Lastaye ; Lastadige is documented in 1572 , Grosse Lastadie in 1614 and Laststade in 1666 . The current spelling was officially established in 1852.
The name Lastadie , which was originally used to describe the shipbuilding and equipment areas on the banks of the Trave, has been used with changing references over the centuries. For most of its existence it referred to the area of the Wall Peninsula used for the construction and equipping of ships, which was subject to fluctuations in its expansion, but at times encompassed the entire length of the peninsula from the Holstentor to its northern tip. As a street name, the name was only understood since the middle of the 19th century, and initially only parallel to the actual meaning, as long as shipyards were still located on the Wall Peninsula.
The northern section of the Lastadie, above the swing bridge built in 1893, lost its name - which was not a street name here either - in 1899 in favor of the new name Behnkai in honor of Senator Heinrich Theodor Behn , who had made a name for himself in the expansion of the port; in the southern part the name was already no longer in use at that time, as the old shipbuilding sites had disappeared due to the railway systems of the old main station . Accordingly, the Lastadie was removed from the Lübeck address book in 1894.
After the old train station was demolished in 1934, a new street, starting at Holstentorplatz and running parallel to the street Auf der Wallhalbinsel , was built, which was about 250 meters long and was named Lastadie. It opened up the commercial operations and the freight yard that were located on the site of the old main station.
In the course of the complete redesign of the Wall Peninsula at the beginning of the 1990s , when the remaining railway tracks and operations for the construction of a hotel and the music and congress hall were removed, the Lastadie was also lifted. Most of the street disappeared, a small section was added to the new course of the street Auf der Wallhalbinsel , which was also renamed Willy-Brandt-Allee . The name Lastadie was not lost, however, but was assigned to the slightly relocated previous street Am Holstenhafen near the swing bridge, which now forms today's Lastadie.
Buildings
The Lastadie was the location of two buildings that are no longer preserved: The Dröge and the Gießhaus , both of which were completely demolished in 1886 in order to expand the port.
