Schmiedestrasse (Lübeck)
The Schmiedestraße is a city road in Lübeck .
description
The Schmiedestraße, which is not straight but curved, connects the Klingenberg with the Holstenstraße , where it runs along the choir of the Petrikirche . Until the Second World War, this part of the choir was called Hinter St. Petri .
history
The street, first mentioned in a document in 1307 as Platea fabrorum ( Latin , street of the forge ) and since 1367 called Smedestrate , was named after the blacksmiths whose church was St. Petri and who also had their office here . This name lasted over the following centuries: in 1367 it was called Smedestrate in Low German , and in 1457 Grote Smedestrate .
In 1852 Schmiedestrasse near St. Petri was officially set as the name, in contrast to the then Kleine Schmiedestrasse known as Kupferschmiedestrasse . However, in 1884 the street name was changed to the one that is still valid today.
architecture
Until the Second World War , it was lined on both sides by numerous brick Gothic gabled houses, most of which had been given new plastered facades in the classicist style in the course of the 19th century . One of the exceptions was house number 20, which had retained its Gothic gable.
During the British air raid on Lübeck on March 29, 1942 , the historic structure was destroyed. The reconstruction after the Second World War took place in the form of modern functional buildings. In the present the street is characterized by a parking garage , the new building of a hotel and the still existing Gothic choir of the Petrikirche.
