history

The consumer association for Lübeck and the surrounding area , which has existed since 1904 , already had two department stores, in Breite Straße 35 for the clothing department and in Königstraße 111 for the manufactories department , within the Hanseatic city. In 1929, the architects expressed in a full-page report on at that time in the building located "department store of new consumer association Luebeck and its environs e. G. mb H. ”in which the two aforementioned department stores were to be merged in 1930.

The Lübeck cooperative movement had developed at that time and, as it was said, was at the beginning of a new era . At the advantageous crossroads , on the other side of the Klingenberg , a department store should be built. The members of the cooperative should find all cooperative products in it.

The Lübeck construction company , the largest and most modern construction company in the city, was commissioned with the construction of the building according to the plans of the architects " Runge und Lentschow ".

After 1927 the plots 24, a listed multi-storey gabled house from the 15th century with a facade redesigned in the 18th century in which the Lübeck common labor cooperative exhibited its furniture , and 26, a classicist house from the 19th century the paper shop of the same name owned by the late Georg Hohenschild in Sandstrasse , the consumer association organized a competition in January 1928 on those properties in connection with the association's own workshop at Schmiedestrasse 8 to build a department store. The consumer association's request for the houses to be demolished , even the listed building, was granted beforehand .

Its result already showed that the planned area would not be able to accommodate the required space. For this reason, the corner house at Sandstrasse 28 / Schmiedestrasse 2 was acquired for plaster and fashion goods from C. Bodendiek . As this is still not proved sufficient to also acquired the restoration "Lübeck Bierstube" harboring plots Schmiedestraße Nos. 4 and 6. Up to the completion of the new Eckgrundstücks according to the stages regular land extension also changed the building program to the working design several times.

The department store of the consumer association now had 7 floors .

  2. ground floor
  3. 1st floor
  4. 2nd Floor
  5. 3rd floor

  7. 2nd attic

In May 1933 the consumer cooperatives and their central organizations of the NSDAP into line and disbanded by. It continued to exist as a consumer cooperative and was finally liquidated in 1935 . The J. Schartl KG with Joseph Schartl as managing director took over the now for the department store at Klingenberg converted warehouse.

The war-damaged department store (far left) after 1942

During the British air raid on Lübeck on March 29, 1942 , the department store burned down completely, as you can see in the photo. In contrast to the almost completely destroyed surrounding older buildings, however, the walls of the facade were preserved. The building was restored in the post-war period . The department store was enlarged by the new building on the opposite of Schmiedestrasse in place of the Hotel Stadt Hamburg, which had also been destroyed, and was connected to it above the street.

Until the 1960s , the building served its original purpose as a department store, before the floors were divided up for use as offices, restaurants and apartments. To this day, however, a supermarket of the follow-up organization of the consumer association for Lübeck and the surrounding area occupies large parts of the ground floor.

In 1989 the six-storey clinker brick building with its pronounced vertical structure was placed under monument protection . The list of monuments lists it under number 965. Only the exterior of the building is under monument protection, especially the facade facing Sandstrasse and Schmiedestrasse, but not the part facing the courtyard. One reason for this is the redesign of the ground floor by the supermarket. The Schmiedestraße rises sharply from the Sandstraße. The ground floor is shared within the market. In level moving walkways , customers and their shopping carts reach the lower ground floor half a floor below or the upper ground floor half a floor higher . The latter is the entire ground floor of the neighboring building at Schmiedestrasse 10-18 on Schmiedestrasse level there .

Entrances, atriums, stairs and elevators

A small free courtyard area was arranged in the rear corner in order to obtain the largest possible sales area. The otherwise necessary air space was created by a large inner atrium connecting them . The main staircase was on Schmiedestrasse, a secondary staircase after Sandstrasse towards Borneweg & Co. In the middle of Sandstrasse was the main shop entrance , whereas the emergency exits were connected to the stairwells and a special staff entrance with a bicycle lane was created on Schmiedestrasse were.

The car entrance for the loading area was also located on Schmiedestrasse . In addition to the stairs, there were two elevators on the main staircase for staff traffic . Furthermore, a special freight elevator was installed for the transport of goods .

Basement

Here, lounge , cloakroom and washrooms for female and male staff were clearly arranged . There were also rooms for storing bicycles and the necessary toilet facilities. A built-in converter station provided the electrical power. In addition to storage rooms, there was also a room for coal and heating as well as for the elevator motors .

ground floor

In addition to the entrances, stairwells, elevators and the loading area, the ground floor contained the large sales hall . A special decoration corridor had been arranged to serve the shop windows , which offered an opportunity to inspect the goods facing the street . It contained the departments: clothing fabrics , aprons , handkerchiefs , stockings , gloves , woolen goods , haberdashery , jerseys and knitting .

First floor

With the exception of the stairs, elevators and atria, the entire area of ​​the first floor served as a sales area for the women's clothing store. Fitting rooms were appropriately integrated and toilets were available. The second floor was like the first, only it was used for men's clothing and the footwear department . The third floor contained household goods , bedsteads , carpets and curtains .

Attic

The top floors are in the form of a double stacked floor . The offices , warehouses and workshops were located in the lower attic .

The second attic floor standing on this is again heavily stepped down on both street fronts. As the main room with its 20 street-side window seats , it offered a large, light refreshment room with a view of the then old street scene.

For a generous Restaurationsbetrieb required kitchens - and economic areas were this affiliated.

Exterior architecture and streetscape

Brick expressionism

At that time it was not easy to tactfully add modern buildings of completely different dimensions to the old street scene with the typical gabled houses without destroying the old that remained. Still, it seemed inappropriate to the new time in wrong-conceived Homeland Security backdrop architecture to operate, especially as some classic facades of already a larger horizontal scale on Klingberg brick Expressionismuses bore within them. The exterior design as a closed structure was the result of the interior space requirements .

The ground floor brought in his pfeilergeteiltem glass belt , the merchandise display for the road express. Three floors of inner sales rooms were built above it. The central window axes form continuous oriel extensions , each of which is framed on the front by broadly mounted wall structures , thus holding the oriel architecture together to form a verticalism in both streets.

In line with the use of the building, a strong horizontal closure was also architecturally expressed.

On this substructure , the 1st and 2nd attic storeys are now staggered back with the continuous windows . The latter, with its pillar-split glass wall for the refreshment room, was to become a panorama of the cityscape to be viewed from here. For this reason, it had also found a slightly fading conclusion architecturally. In addition to an effectively affixed business advertisement, the final main cornice in its soffit had radiant light contours in the dark . The outside front had mixed colored iron melting - clinker . In some places they are enlivened by blue-gold burned ceramic plastic . The metalwork is made of copper and bronze .

Interior design

The reinforced concrete supporting structure with its planed ceilings was already so stretched that the large interior space with its four atrium columns was spacious and flooded with light. Particular importance was attached to the fact that the construction , purpose and form merged into one unit. The continuous open atrium served as an architecturally connecting main motif. Particular importance was attached to the cozy effect of the refreshment room. The consumer association endeavored through its architects to create a modern , functional and artistically integrated department store in every way .
