In case of old age, either an assistant or (regularly since the 17th century) a second city physician with the right of succession to support the incumbent was appointed. The office was introduced in the Free Imperial Cities under the Roman-German King Sigismund in 1426. The first reliable mention of a city physician in Lübeck comes from the year 1476. From 1574 to 1762 the official residence of the city physician was in the physics building , the preserved corner house at Königstrasse 43 / Dr. Julius-Leber-Strasse. The Stadtphysici belonged to the familia Senatus , were entitled to a seat in the council chairs in the Marienkirche and a corresponding burial.
