Mühlenstrasse 72 (Lübeck)
The building at Mühlenstrasse 72 is a listed, classicist city palace in Mühlenstrasse in Lübeck's old town .
Historically, the property initially belonged to the Lübeck bishop's court and was probably built on with farm buildings from the bishop's court since the Middle Ages. Today's buildings were built on their preserved cellars, consisting of two barrel vaults. The property was acquired in 1819 by the Lübeck councilor Ludwig Mentze , who had the building demolished in 1819/20 except for the basement ceiling. In 1820 he had a two-story classicist house with five axes listed for himself. The central portal is closed by a flat triangular gable. It is framed by two Ionic pilasters. Contrary to Björn Kommer's attribution to the architect Joseph Christian Lillie , however, Ilsabe von Bülow refuted a plan by Lillie with good arguments. In 1885 the house became the property of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck, which initially used it as the administrative seat of the city and country office . In 1942, a bomb-proof filing room ( bunker ) was built under the Hespeler City Planning Council . After the war, the house was used for various administrative purposes, first as a registry office , then for the water and harbor construction office. In the 2000s the building was privatized, renovated and now used as a doctor's practice. The house was listed in two stages in 1967 and 1995.
