The St. Anne Street is a street of Lübeck .

location

The approximately 260 meter long St.-Annen-Straße in the south-eastern part of the old town island ( Johannis Quartier ) begins at the Aegidienkirche at the junction of Aegidienstraße , Balauerfohr and Stavenstraße . It borders the Aegidienkirchhof . St.-Annen-Straße runs in a south-westerly direction and shortly after its beginning, at the foot of the Aegidienkirche, it is crossed by Schildstraße, which turns into Weberstraße . The block between Stavenstrasse and Weberstrasse houses the Aegidienhof Lübeck , a social housing project in listed buildings, including the Michaeliskonvent . Behind the St. Annen monastery , today the St. Annen Museum Quarter , Düvekenstraße joins from the south , before St.-Annen-Straße meets Mühlenstraße after another 50 meters and ends.

history

The northern section of today's St.-Annen-Straße, between Stavenstraße and Weberstraße, was originally named after the Aegidienkirche since the Middle Ages . The Low German designation By sunte Ilgen and the Latin counterpart Apud sanctum Egidium are documented from 1464 .

The southern part from Weberstraße to Mühlenstraße is referred to in a document from 1318 as Vicus, quo itur ad plateam molendionorum (Inhabited street that leads to Mühlenstraße). In 1366 the name Parva platea, qua itur ad sanctum Egidium (small road that leads to St. Aegidien) is found. Since the Tisenhusen family , who owned and inhabited the property with today's house number 13 from 1368 to 1433, belonged to the knighthood , the new name Platea militis (1438) was created for the southern section of the street , which is used in the German form Ridderstraße from 1460 .

After the construction of the St. Anne's Monastery in the years 1502 to 1515, the new common name St.-Annen-Straße , which was finally officially established in 1884, became common for the entire street between Stavenstraße and Mühlenstraße .

During the air raid on Lübeck on March 29, 1942 , the street was spared from destruction, so that it still has a closed historical street scene to this day.
