The list of abandoned buildings in Lübeck-Travemünde contains buildings in the Lübeck district of Travemünde that no longer exist.
The buildings are sorted according to street names and house numbers, whereby - except in exceptional cases - the current street layout and the house numbering scheme used today are used as a basis.
The Lübeck local group of friends of nature built their first house on the Priwall in 1923. In 1939, the property and building were expropriated because the entire Priwall fell to the testing site as a military restricted area and the house was demolished.
The racecourse, which opened in 1882 (the first races took place on August 5 and 6, 1882), was dismantled during the military use of the Priwall in 1940.
In 1904, a wooden stand that could be dismantled was purchased for the racecourse, which was no longer needed after the race course was removed in 1940.
For the new high-pressure water network, a 33 meter high water tower was built on the Kalvarienberg, above the entrance door of which was the Lübeck eagle and the year 1906. Although not originally intended for this purpose, the tower was also used as a viewing tower thanks to its surrounding gallery. After the renewal of the water network in the 1970s, the water tower had become superfluous; as there was no interested party to take over and continue as a lookout tower, it was demolished in 1977.

Redoubt
1811
1814
To protect the mouth of the Trave from British attacks, the French occupying forces had a fortress built at the far eastern end of the Leuchtenfeld at the confluence of the river in the Baltic Sea from April 1811, for which the residents of the area were used for forced labor. The fortification in the form of an irregular octagon of ramparts and a massive central building never saw combat operations and was mapped by a military engineer on March 30, 1814 on the order of the Swedish general Charles de Suremain and then sold for 800 Courantmarks for demolition.

Jump
1848
1867
With the outbreak of the Schleswig-Holstein War , the coast was placed in defense readiness by order of the German Confederation, as there was fear of an expansion of hostilities. On May 3rd, units of the Lübeck military were quartered in Travemünde and, among other things, they built a ski jump equipped with 16 guns on the Leuchtenfeld. An attack on Travemünde did not take place during the entire war. In 1853 the existing material was sold, only a few cannons remained in an unusable condition. The ski jump was left to decay, its ramparts were used as viewpoints for bathers in the years that followed. In 1867 the facility was leveled.

Coal yard
1834
1964
Since the steamships on the line to St. Petersburg, which opened in 1830, had to bunker coal in Travemünde, a provisional storage area for hard coal was initially designated on the Leuchtenfeld in 1832. In 1834 the coal yard was built on the Priwall as a permanent facility. The coal store became superfluous after the steamships were able to continue to Lübeck by expanding the Trave. From then on, the coal yard pavilion and the associated quay served as the ferry house and pier for the middle Priwall ferry. With the widening of the Travefahrwassers in 1963/64 the bank line had to be relocated back, whereby the buildings of the coal yard disappeared. The then newly built Kohlenhofkai for fishing cutters and private boats reminds of him .
The Hansa-Haus was originally built as a replacement for the Warmbadehaus which was destroyed in the Baltic storm flood in 1872 ; The bathrooms were on the first floor and the guest rooms on the upper floor. After a new hot bathing house was built next to the Kurhaus in 1884, the building was completely converted into a hotel and changed its name accordingly. In 1971 the Hansa Hotel was demolished for the construction of the Maritim Travemünde .
Außenallee 8
Lembke House
1824
1967
The Lübeck protonotary Christian Heinrich Lembke , co-founder of the seaside resort Travemünde, had this classicist summer house built by Joseph Christian Lillie as the first private villa of the baths . After a long vacancy, the house was burned on July 14, 1967 and destroyed.
Outer avenue 10
Car lovers ; originally a warm bath house , most recently the Kurhaus-Klause
1884
2004
Since the hot bathing facilities in the Hansa-Haus (see Außenallee 6) were too small, a separate new hot bathing house with 12 bathing cabins was built right next to the Kurhaus. After the completion of the new Warmbad in 1901, it was no longer needed and in 1914 it was converted into a hotel-restaurant with its own garages and aimed at the new guest segment of motorists; accordingly the name of the house was Autoliebchen . In the 1920s the building was expanded with a permanent garage extension and renamed Kurhaus-Klause after the Second World War . In 2004 it was demolished due to dilapidation as part of the modernization work on the Kurhaus; in its place there is now a parking lot.
Außenallee 10 (originally: Im Badegarten 178 )
Kurhaus or community center or dining house
1802
1912
The first Kurhaus in Travemünde was built according to a design by Joseph Christian Lillies . The originally smaller building was expanded twice in the course of the 19th century, thus achieving the structural condition that existed until it was demolished in favor of a new building.
The building next to the Kurhaus took the place of Lillie's Chinese Pavilion and housed a pastry shop, a reading room, a billiard room and guest rooms on the upper floor. It was demolished to make way for the construction of the new Kursaal.
Outer avenue 10
Lodging house
1804
1861
The thatched-roof lodge with the two projecting wings was built in typical local timber-framing and was located directly next to the arcade house and served as accommodation for up to 20 weak and sick bathers.
Outer avenue 10
Swiss house
1861/62
1960
The no longer up-to-date lodging house from 1804 was demolished in 1861 and replaced by a new building with a similar three-winged floor plan. For aesthetic considerations that were no longer comprehensible, the building was designed in a Swiss-Alpine style. In the winter of 1960 the Schweizerhaus was demolished together with the adjacent arcade house for the construction of the Kursaal, which in turn had to give way to a new hotel building in 2002.
Bandstand

The villa, which had only recently been built, was made available to the Imperial Navy by Hamburg merchants on January 27, 1915 as a rest home for submarine officers and was named Weddigenheim in honor of Otto Weddigen . After the First World War it was used as a residential building again. Since it was demolished in 1981, there has been no house with number 27 on Port Street.
The first beach station in a very simple timber and half-timbered construction was a temporary solution and was replaced after 11 years by the successor building that still exists today.

The restaurant at the end of today's Helldahl street was built in 1889 as a small half-timbered pavilion, added a veranda and coffee garden in 1900 and expanded again in 1905 during a fundamental renovation. On February 3, 1930, the building burned down completely in just 20 minutes.
The successor to the Seetempel , built in 1930 , a clinker brick building designed by Willy Glogner and Paul Vermehren in the New Objectivity style , had to give way to the construction of apartment houses in 1987.
The excursion restaurant was demolished because the need for renovation was too great, the replacement building was inaugurated on May 1, 2012 and opened for regular operation on May 20.
The address is actually Hermannshöhe 1 ; the access road was dedicated as a street in 1974 under the same name as the restaurant.
Until the completion of the new Kurhaus in 1914, the house originally housed the offices of the spa administration and the reading room for spa guests. It was then converted into a hotel under the name Fürstenhof . In 1959 it was demolished to make room for the new building of a seven-story hotel of the Eurotel group built in 1960/61 ; this building is now a condominium facility.

The massive building saw different uses over the decades: until the beginning of the war in 1939, it served as a rest home for the occupational health insurance fund for commercial employees. In September 1939 the Schlichting shipyard took over the house to accommodate shipyard workers. After the war ended in 1945 it was the temporary seat of the British military administration, from late 1945 to 1948 a hospital and from 1949 a hotel, which was named Hotel Stockholm in the 1950s . In 1972/73 the building was demolished and replaced by the construction of a considerably less voluminous residential building. The monumental statue of a pilot, which was integrated into the corner of the building, is now at the Travemünder pilot station.
The aircraft hangar at the Hanseatic Airport Lübeck-Travemünde , with a floor space of 60 × 60 meters and a height of 18 meters for the largest seaplanes at the time, was inaugurated on March 7, 1928 after a year of construction. Together with most of the other buildings on the airport grounds, which were used by the military during the Second World War, it was demolished in 1945-47.

Rönnau watermill (with associated bakery)
Undocumented; between 1263 and 1547 (the bakery was not built until the end of the 19th century)
1970
The miller at the time had the Rönnau windmill built on the same property in 1850 in order to be independent of the water supply. Despite the requirement of the Senate to demolish the water mill after the windmill was completed, both mills were operated in parallel for over half a century until the water mill was probably taken out of service around 1920. The watermill was demolished in 1970, but the windmill still exists today, restored on the outside and converted into a house on the inside.

The mill property belonging to the Rönnauer Mühle was operated by the millers as a restaurant and guesthouse from the second half of the 19th century. In 1970 the property was demolished along with all the outbuildings.

Beach pavilion
1882
1926
The first beach pavilion in Travemuende was designed by the then star architect Julius Grube from Lübeck . The two-story, octagonal wooden building housed a restaurant with 505 seats in the immediate vicinity of the beach. In the winter of 1926/27, the outdated and stylistically inappropriate building was demolished. The successor building was built elsewhere (Kaiserallee 30, see there), the original location was not rebuilt; Even today, a round square at the confluence of Bertlingstrasse with the beach promenade clearly shows where the old beach pavilion was.

1951
After the two old men's and women's seaside resorts had been destroyed by a storm surge in the previous year, the new building was erected in 1905 at the same location. It was damaged in a storm surge in the winter of 1910, repaired the following year and demolished as obsolete in 1951.
Hot bath house

The first hot bathing house of the seaside resort Travemünde, a half-timbered building directly on the beach, was so badly damaged in a storm surge in 1820 that it had to be demolished.
Hot bath house
1822
1872
In the same place as the previous building, a new hot bathing house was built according to plans by Joseph Christian Lillie in 1821/22; the classical building with a mansard roof and colonnades had eight bathrooms. During the flood of the Baltic Sea in 1872 , it was so badly damaged that it was necessary to demolish it. The successor was the Hansa-Haus , Außenallee 6 , which was completed in 1873 (see above).

Aqua top ; previously seawater swimming pool and lido center
1966/1973
2011
The seawater swimming pool was built on the Leuchtenfeld in 1964–66 ; it was very popular and reached the limits of its capacity just three years later. The approval for the construction of the Maritim Travemünde was finally granted because the hotel company undertook to build a considerably larger publicly accessible swimming pool. The existing swimming pool building (on the right, recognizable by the shiny metallic roof rhombuses) was included in the new complex, which was built from 1971 and went into operation in 1973 as a lido center . In 1989 extensive modernization work took place, combined with a renaming to Aqua Top . However, the renovations were poorly carried out, as became more and more evident in the following years: In 1998, with falling visitor numbers, annual maintenance grants of 3 million D-Marks were necessary. On January 1, 2004, the city closes the loss-making swimming pool, but due to ambiguities in ownership, disagreements about a possible reuse of the building and the question of whether it should not be better to wait until a replacement has been built, the demolition is only just beginning on January 14, 2011.

In 1910 the now outdated building was demolished and replaced by a new building that was inaugurated the following year. With the beginning of the First World War, the name was changed to Deutscher Kaiser , and the hotel is still under this name today.
