Marstall (Lübeck)
The Marstall in Lübeck was first mentioned in 1298. Its remaining buildings around the Marstallhof between the castle monastery and the castle gate are part of the Lübeck city fortifications and are listed as part of the world heritage of Lübeck's old town. They are used today as a youth center.
history
From the Middle Ages to modern times, the Marstallhof was the guard of the Lübeck law enforcement officers, known as the cavalry in the Middle Ages . The stables were subordinate to two councilors, the stables lords or lords of the stables , and were run by a captain under their supervision. In addition to stables for the horses, the royal stables also included a forge and, until the Lauerhof JVA was built in 1909, the city's prison. While the Marstallschmiede with its renaissance facade on Grosse Burgstrasse was demolished in 1894 for the neo-Gothic new building of the courthouse, the gate building above the entrance to the Marstallhof has been preserved. The remaining buildings of the Marstall connect to the west of the castle gate.
