Marles Pit
The Marlesgrube is a street in Lübeck's old town .
location
The approximately 280 meter long Marlesgrube is located in the south-western part of the old town island, the Marien Quartier . It begins on the Klingenberg next to the confluence of the horse market and runs westwards down to the Trave , where the Kleine Kiesau first comes from the north , then the Düstere Querstraße from the south meets the street. Finally, on the banks of the Trave, the Marlesgrube joins the Obertrave and ends.
history
The Marlesgrube is first mentioned in a document in 1266 with the Latin name Fossa Marlevi . The origin and meaning of this name have not yet been clarified. It is believed that the street was named after a person who was important at the time, but no longer comprehensible today, named Marlef, Marten or Martel . Also Marsilio v. Hagen , councilor from 1256 to 1261, is considered to be a possible namesake. Another theory assumes a name after the Mecklenburg town of Marlow , although no corresponding connection to Lübecker Straße has yet been found.
In the period that followed, the street name was subject to multiple variations, misinterpretations and corruptions until the 19th century :
- 1289: Platea Marlovis (Marlov Street)
- 1338: Marlowesgrowe
- 1354: Marlevesgrove
- 1400: Marlesgrove
- 1401: Marlephi fossa
- 1421: Merlves fossa
- 1460: Malmesgrove
- 1476: Marloffgrowe
- 1506: Merlesgrove
- 1534: Marlissgrove
- 1601: Marlsgrowe
- 1610: Markesgrove
- 1630: Marquard Pit
- 1668: Marcusgrube
- 1677: Martelhsgrove
- 1695: Marlsgrube
- 1700: Mertensgrube
- 1786: Mardelsgrube
In 1852 Marlitzgrube was officially set as the street name, but in 1884 it was changed to the form Marlesgrube, which is still valid today .
Until well into the 20th century , the Marlesgrube had a closed historical development, which was completely destroyed in the bombing of March 29, 1942 in the eastern half of the street. Buildings from the post-war period dominate the scene there, so that in this area the overall impression of the street no longer corresponds to the historically evolved situation. In the western section up to the Obertrave, however, the houses from several centuries have largely been preserved.
