Johannisstrasse 20
Johannisstrasse 20 , also known as Nöltingsches Haus , was a Lübeck patrician house that was demolished in 1904 and was particularly famous for its interior remodeling by Carl Julius Milde around 1835 and its function as the center of literary life in Lübeck during the Geibel period.
history
The high-gabled patrician house, the stepped gable of which still showed the original alternation of glazed and unglazed bricks, probably came from the 14th century. It was located almost in the geographical center of the city opposite the Löwen-Apotheke house on the corner of Johannisstrasse (today: Dr.-Julius-Leber-Strasse) and Königstrasse 48 , a prominent intersection in the urban fabric, on whose other sides Emperor Charles IV . and his wife were housed.
Around 1300 the property belonged to the Lübeck bromold Ulicke, who sold it to the Ridinck brothers in 1303. In 1355 it passed to the merchant and councilor Holt von Alen. Mrs. Elisabeth Gildehusen from Gotland acquired it in 1369 and transferred it to her son.
Jordan Pleskow , who also owned a share in the building opposite today's Löwenapotheke, bought the house in 1386. But in 1400 he sold it on to Tidemann Druge. It changed hands often in the 15th and 16th centuries. Among them were the councilors Hermann von Alen , Nicolaus Robele , Ludeke Bere , Mauritius Loft and, in the 16th century, Anton Holtscho .
The Syndicus Joachim Carstens bought the house in 1649. He lived in the house for 25 years until his death and bequeathed it to his children. His son, Nicolaus Carstens, was a captain in Mölln and then the mayor Joachim Lothar (Lüder) Carstens, who died in 1727, lived in the house. This 80 years was the longest time the house has been owned by a family.
In 1753 it was advertised for sale in the "Schütting" . It is mentioned that there is running artificial water in the courtyard , a stable for four horses, a small garden and five cellars, one of which is vaulted.
On February 21, 1829, it was bought by a co-owner of the Nölting trading house, Christian Adolf Nölting , who expanded it inside in 1835 and 1836. The plans for this were drawn up by the Hamburg architect Johann Friedrich Lauenburg (April 28, 1809– January 24, 1835), the execution was carried out by the architect Alexander Gascard after his death, with Carl Julius Milde being responsible for the artistic design . Mildes wall paintings are influenced by Pompeian frescoes, which Nölting learned to appreciate on his travels. Together with his wife Henriette, he turned Nöltingsche Haus into a literary and artistic center. Milde moved in here in 1839 and lived in a room on the ground floor facing the garden until his death. Emanuel Geibel was a frequent guest, as was Theodor Storm during his school days at the Katharineum in Lübeck . From December 1849 to May 1850, Jenny Lind lived in Nölting's house, where she signed the contract for her legendary concert tour to the USA.

After Nölting's death, Consul Paul Eduard Nölting in Hamburg became the owner of the house. Shortly after 1900 he sold it to the businessman Detlef Jacob von Schack , who had it torn down in 1904. Around 1900 the "Association of Art Friends" tried to save the house. This project failed because the necessary funds could not be raised. Only one of the rooms Milde had painted could be expanded beforehand; it was donated to the Hamburg Museum of Art and Crafts and rebuilt there as a mild room . The antique-style hanging chandelier modeled by Milde and a painted wall niche came into the possession of the Lübeck museum.
The office building built by Schack was demolished in 1929 for a planned but not realized extension of the Karstadt department store . Today the new Karstadt building erected in 1995 stands here.
