List of renamed streets in Lübeck

The list of renamed streets in Lübeck includes Lübeck streets whose names have been changed since officially established street names were introduced in 1852. Minor changes to the spelling to adapt to changed spelling practices and the like are not recorded here.

At the Hülshorst	1943	Hülshorstweg ([?] - 1943)

The renaming in August-Bebel-Straße cannot be found in the files of the civil engineering office. It is only recorded that in 1945 the previous name Moislinger Hauptstrasse was reintroduced; It is not possible to determine when the subsequent change was made. In the address book for 1951, however, the street is again listed as August-Bebel-Straße .
Outside avenue	1945	Außenallee ([?] - 1934) Horst-Wessel-Allee (1934–1945)	1934–1945 named after Horst Wessel . From the files of the civil engineering office it is not clear when the outer avenue originally got its name.

Fern rise	1950	Hop path ([?] - 1950)	The date of the original designation cannot be found in the civil engineering office files; not identical to the Farnstieg , which in the same year received the name Roggenstieg , which is still valid today (see below).

Geibelplatz	1936	Königstrasse (1852–1936); the renaming only affected a part	A small side area of Königstraße , which was not part of the actual course of the road, was given the new name Geibelplatz in 1936 in honor of Emanuel Geibel , as documented in the files of the civil engineering office .

In the block	1945	Hofweg (1945)	When the street in the Niendorf district was named, it was probably overlooked that a courtyard path had existed in the Karlshof district since the 1920s . Therefore, the name was changed to Im Block at short notice .

Mühlentorplatz	1953	Mühlentor (only unofficial; until 1933) Adolf-Hitler-Platz (1933–1938) (without name; 1938–1953)	The intersection at the Mühlenbrücke , Kronsford Allee and Ratzeburger Allee was recorded on city maps before 1933 as a mill gate , and the civil engineering office also used this designation; However, it was not an officially established name, officially the intersection was not separately dedicated and had no name. In 1933 it was declared a square and named after Adolf Hitler (together with the later St.-Jürgen-Platz in Travemünde , which was also named Adolf-Hitler-Platz in 1933, there were two places with this name in Lübeck from 1934), but lost this name in 1938 back to the renamed Holstentorplatz and was again nameless. It was not until the roundabout was built in 1953 that a specially named square was created here, until in 1938 the renamed Holstentorplatz became the sole bearer of the name.

Roggenstieg	1950	Farnstieg ([?] - 1950)	The date of the original designation cannot be found in the civil engineering office files; not identical to the Farnstieg , which in the same year received its name, which is still valid today, by renaming the Hopfenweg (see above).
Rönnauer Ring	1946	Richthofenring (1938–1946)	1938–1946 named after Manfred von Richthofen .
Schildstrasse	1884	Aegidienstraße (1852-1884); the renaming only affected a part	The Schildstraße was originally not considered a street in its own right, but for centuries it was considered part of the Aegidienstraße , which was forked into two arms . It was not until 1884 that the southern arm was declared an independent street and was given its name, which is still valid today.
Schlutuper Kirchstrasse	1938	Kirchstrasse ([?] - 1938)
Schrangen	1931	Alter Schrangen (1852–1931) / Kleiner Schrangen (1884–1931)	Today's Schrangen was created from the merging of two parallel streets that connected Breite Straße with Königstraße .

Spieringshorster Strasse	1946	Wolffstrasse (1940-1946)	1940–1946 named after Jacob Wolff . The naming of this street is an unexplained curiosity: like other newly laid streets in the Eichholz settlement in the Wesloe district, it was named after a fighter pilot of the First World War. However, the National Socialist city administration overlooked the fact that Jacob Wolff was a Jew. It is likely to be the only case in which a street was named after a Jew during the Third Reich.
St.-Jürgen-Platz	1938	Adolf-Hitler-Platz (1934–1938)	Together with Mühlentorplatz (see above), which was also later Adolf-Hitler-Platz in 1933, two squares with this name existed in Lübeck at the same time from 1934 until the renamed Holstentorplatz became the sole bearer of the name in 1938 .

Stockelsdorfer Strasse	1945	Dr.-Todt-Strasse ([?] - 1945)	Named after Fritz Todt before 1945 . It is unclear when the road that was newly laid out as the entrance to today's Lübeck-Zentrum junction on federal motorway 1 , opened on May 13, 1937, got its name. It is not mentioned in the files of the civil engineering office before 1945 and is not listed in the last address book from 1942. However, their renaming is expressly documented in 1945.
Stresemannstrasse	1945 [?]	Friedrich-Wilhelm-Strasse (1875–1929) Stresemannstrasse (1929–1933) Friedrich-Wilhelm-Strasse (1933–1945 [?])	1875–1929 and 1933–1945 [?] Named after Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, later Emperor Friedrich III. ; the date of the renaming in Stresemannstrasse after the end of the Third Reich cannot be found in the files of the civil engineering office.
Sudetenstrasse	1950	Mendelstrasse ([?] - 1950)	Before 1950 named after Gregor Mendel ; the date of the original designation cannot be found in the civil engineering office files.
Teutenbrink	1946	Propeller (1935-1946)
Torneiweg	1933 [?]	Torneiweg (1871–1933) At the port railway (1933 [?])	The renaming of the Torneiweg , named after the tournament field that was located in this area in earlier centuries, was documented by the civil engineering office in 1933, but seems to have been reversed after a short time or never been implemented. There is no evidence that the street ever actually had the new name, and even in the last Lübeck address book published in 1942 it is still listed as Torneiweg without any indication of a name change.
Travemünder Allee	1936	Israelsdorfer Allee (1869–1936)
Wakenitz wall	1884	At the Wall / In the Sack / At the Schafferei (1852–1884)	Today's Wakenitzmauer street was originally considered part of the An der Mauer street , with a short section roughly in the middle of the street called Im Sack and the northernmost end called Bei der Schafferei . In 1884 the street An der Mauer was divided into two streets; the southern section kept its name, the northern section was renamed Wakenitzmauer and was added to Im Sack and Bei der Schafferei .
Vogteistrasse	1938	Bahnhofstrasse ([?] - 1938)
Wakenitzufer	1946	Wakenitzufer (1902–1936) Skagerrakufer (1936-1946) Karl-Roß-Ufer (1946–1947)	1936–1946 named after the Battle of the Skagerrak ; 1946/47 named after Karl Ross .
Forest path (section)	1972	Grenzweg ([?] - 1972; not official)	By lengthening the forest path on the Priwall , the common but not officially dedicated designation Grenzweg for the affected section was expressly canceled.
Wallstrasse	1938	First Wallstrasse / Second Wallstrasse / Third Wallstrasse (1884–1938)
Willy-Brandt-Allee	1993	Lastadie (1934-1993)	The road laid out in 1934 is not identical to the Lastadie, which was in the same area but was closed in 1894 .
