Lodge house Flensburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nordergraben 23

The Logenhaus Flensburg is located on the Museumsberg in Flensburg at Nordergraben 23. The cultural monument is used today for the Freemasonry of Flensburg .

It was built between 1902 and 1903. The client was the Freemasons scoring Loge "Wilhelm for Nordic loyalty". The plans come from the lodge brother Magnus Schlichting from Neumünster . One of the founders was the shipowner Heinrich Schuldt. The foundation stone was laid on June 24, 1902, St. John's Day , which plays a role in Freemasonry. In previous years, the Flensburg lodges had met in the neighboring “Bellevue” garden restaurant. Shortly afterwards, the Flensburg Guttempler Logenhaus was built in Schloßstraße, but it has nothing to do with the Freemasons, but with the so-called Good Templars .

The Gestapo occupied the house in 1934; it was later sold to the city. This was followed by uses as a warehouse, as a local museum, as an air raid shelter during the air raids on Flensburg and as a police headquarters in 1946–47 (cf. Flensburg Police Department ). The house was transferred back in December 1950 with further partial use by the city, the use as a museum ended in 1955. In 1974 it was handed over to the Great State Lodge of the Freemasons of Germany because of the cost burden.
