Roeckstrasse
The Roeckstraße is a street in Lübeck district of St. Gertrud .
Roeckstraße, which was laid out as an avenue as early as the 18th century, is of historical importance as part of the earlier pilgrimage route to the Wunderblutkirche in Bad Wilsnack (Brandenburg). The Kleverschusskreuz , a wayside cross from 1436, which showed believers the way from the city of Lübeck to the Wilsnack pilgrimage church , reminds of this to this day . At the end of the 19th century, Julia Mann , widow of the merchant Thomas Johann Heinrich Mann , lived in the street with her children. Her son, the Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature, Thomas Mann , erected a literary monument in the house at Roeckstrasse 7 in Buddenbrooks . It is the last residence of Hanno and Gerda Buddenbrook.
The street has been named after the former mayor of Lübeck, Karl Ludwig Roeck, since 1869 .
location
The Roeckstraße leads from the Burgfeld in front of the castle gate to the east to a fork in the former military roads to Wismar and the Mark Brandenburg. Today they are called Arnimstrasse and Marlistrasse. Roeckstraße is located on the north bank of the Wakenitz, which has been dammed since the Middle Ages . Part of the street forms the southern border of the Lübeck city park .
history
Until the end of the gate barrier in Lübeck, the area north of the lower Wakenitz was used for horticultural purposes, primarily for growing hops. The street was not settled until the early 19th century, when wealthy citizens built summer houses outside the old town island. The oldest surviving summer house at number 4 was built in 1827. Buildings 2, 11, 14, 26, 34 and 36 are also still recognizable as a summer house. The summer house on the corner lot No. 2 / Täuferstraße is used today by the Evangelical Free Church Community of Lübeck ( Baptists ) . Julia Mann lived at Roeckstraße 7 from 1891 to 1892 before the family moved to Munich.

The beer jug that was on property 18 has not been preserved . It already existed in 1522 and belonged to the Holy Spirit Hospital until 1790 . Restaurants outside the city, which were still within easy walking distance, were among the popular excursion destinations for the crowded old town. The Prahlsche Badeanstalt , founded in 1841, was also located on Roeckstrasse . Older, however, was the Kreidemannsche Anstalt upstream on the west bank, which opened in 1799 and was replaced in 1899 by the still existing outdoor pool on the Falkenwiese .
The Lübeck Yacht Club has one of its clubhouses on a small peninsula at Roeckstrasse 54 ; the ice ass guild, founded in 1969, organizes the ice ass regatta here every December .

present
The development of Roeckstraße in the 21st century is characterized by villas with spacious gardens above the Wakenitz, semi-detached houses and a few new buildings from the 20th century. The development has been protected by the first and oldest Lübeck conservation statute since 1984 . Because of the proximity to the Lübeck court house with the district and regional court as well as the labor court in Neustraße, law firms opened in Roeckstraße; There are also a large number of medical practices here. The area between Roeckstrasse, Krügerstrasse and Heiligen-Geist-Kamp, which was used by Lübeck's city traffic as a tram and bus depot, has been renovated and redesigned with densely populated buildings. At the former tram depot there is still the former guard and the war memorial for the trams who died in World War I.
