Luba belt
The Luba belt is a medieval belt with reference to the oldest legendary history of Lübeck .
The leather belt, 125 cm long and 8 cm wide, densely covered with iron fittings that are riveted through the leather, was a relic of the fishermen's office in Lübeck until the 19th century. It was traditionally created once a year by the fisherman's elder man for morning language and has been on loan from the Gothmund fishermen in Lübeck's museum collection since 1882 and is stored in the St. Annen Museum . The Lübeck local researcher Johannes Warnke assigned it to the end of the 14th century. The belt refers to the pre-founding history of the city of Lübeck and the existing Bucu castle at this place , which is said to have been freed from the legendary figure of the fisherman Luba by List from a siege by Budivoj , a son of the Nakonid Gottschalk . The legend was first put down in writing by the Lübeck chronicler Heinrich Rehbein in the 16th century and runs through the Lübeck chronicle as well as through the history of the Lübeck fisherman's office. The representations are inconsistent, it is also reported that the belt was shown around in a bowl during the annual morning speech in the Gasthaus to dem Drakensteen . This inn was opposite the Lübeck town hall in the Breiten Straße with the old house number Joh. Q. 953 , today no. 77. The jug was named to the Drakensteen since 1442 at the latest and was used by the fishermen's office as well as by other Lübeck craft offices for meetings as an office building utilized. It was named after Wilhelm Brehmer from 1377 to 1704. Warnke sees in the name a reference to the medieval custom of the dragon stitch , which still lives on in Furth in the forest today , but was probably lost from memory in Lübeck due to the Reformation . He also referred to the Drakenfeest in Beesel on the Maas , where the dragon on the dragon stone awaits its death stab. The property at Breite Straße 77 was newly built over the medieval cellars in 1820/1830 with a classicist commercial building and has been a listed building since 1994.
