history

The property belonged to the patrician courts on the medieval Ritterstrasse . It is mentioned for the first time in 1291 in the Upper Town Register as de frigido cellario edificia domus vocate Kolde Kelre , a house built over a cold store . In 1341 a new building on the square of the house with the cellar and a previously undeveloped area is documented. The Kolde Kelr , first mentioned in 1291, has been preserved under the northern side wing to this day. This house was not directly on the street, but set back like the Brömserhof in Schildstraße . Over the centuries, the owners were mainly Lübeck patrician families and Holstein nobles: Bertram Vorrade , Tidemann Vorrade , von Morum, von Cölln, von der Bruges, Morkerke, Warendorp , Gloxin, Reventlow , Brömse and Wickede .

It was not until 1580/81, after the dendrochronological dating of the roof structure, that today's broad eaves house on the street front was built. The builder Marx Bockmeier went bankrupt in 1585. the house came to the head of the cathedral . In 1600 the city mint master Statius Wessel acquired the house and added the southern wing to it; his daughter Catharina († 1627) married the council secretary Johann Feldhusen in 1619 , who became the sole owner in 1623. In 1632 it went to the Council Syndicate Joachim Carstens . In 1650 Thomas Wetken, from a Hamburg patrician family and owner of the Trenthorst estate , bought the house. His son of the same name, Major Thomas Wetken, had the Dornse equipped with the stucco ceiling in 1715 by the Hamburg plasterer Christian Hein based on models by Crispin de Passe the Younger . In the middle of the 18th century, the mayor Bernhard von Wickede owned the house. A room with stucco lustro decoration (around 1750) has been preserved in the side wing from this period . Around 1790 it received its current facade and was rebuilt inside. The presumed client was the businessman and operator of a soap factory, Daniel Friedrich Lehmann, who had the house reinsured in 1793. From 1798 it was the Lübeck residence of the Holstein landowner and Lübeck canon Wulf Heinrich von Thienen . After his death in 1809, his servant Heinrich Storm lived in the house until 1817, when Senator Ludwig Mentze bought it.

Orthopedic Institute Dr. Leithoff

Plan of the institute from 1832; St.-Annen-Str. is on the left, so the plan is not north .

In 1820 Matthias Ludwig Leithoff acquired the houses at St.-Annen-Straße 2, 4 and 6 to expand his orthopedic institute. Founded in 1818, it was based around the corner in the former Brömserhof Palace at Schildstrasse 12-14, today the seat of the cultural administration of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. There Leithoff achieved such good success with innovative healing methods and self-invented machines, especially with children, that this first institute of its kind in Germany soon gained European reputation and made Leithoff known beyond the borders of the country. In 1825 he built a dining room behind the right wing; In the courtyard a building for bathtubs was built in 1835, which was demolished again in 1852 - Leithoff's institute was closed after his death in 1846.

At that time the pastor Carl Geibel (1803-1863), a son of Johannes Geibel and brother of Emanuel Geibel, lived in the house . In 1835 he was deposed by the government as pastor of the Reformed Congregation in Braunschweig because of his revealing interpretation of the Bible, which had caused unrest in the congregation. Since then, he and his wife have run a boarding school in Lübeck.

Jenisch free school

Inscription plaque above the portal

In 1872 the house became the seat of the Jenisch free school . This went back to the educational work of Margaretha Elisabeth Jenisch and the foundation she set up in 1829. The school was previously housed in the corner building Hartengrube  1 / Großer Bauhof . She took in needy girls from the age of eight until confirmation , with the aim that they could then earn their own living as servants . At the end of the 19th century, a new side wing was built for the school operation, which established the connection between the front building and the dining room from 1825. Presumably at the same time the right thorn in the front building was enlarged to the full house depth.

The school auditorium received the organ donated by Hamburg Senator Jenisch in 1839, adorned with the gilded family coat of arms. It was still there in 1925. In the head room (the room with the stucco ceiling) there were portraits of the head of the foundation from the Plessing, Curtius, Gütschow and Overbeck families, as well as an oil painting by the founder "in old costume".

The foundation ran into financial difficulties at the beginning of the 20th century; After inflation had destroyed the foundation's assets (except for the property), the school, with more than 300 students, had to close in March 1923. The building was given to the Hanseatic City of Lübeck for use for school purposes. Now, in the foundation building, teaching courses for training young girls to become nannies , combined with the kindergarten and the seminar for kindergarten teachers, as well as lessons for vocational students have been set up.

Later the Lübeck language healing school moved into the building.

Hotel Management School

After the language healing school moved out in 1994, the building could be converted with the help of school building funds, the German Foundation for Monument Protection and the Possehl Foundation for the purposes of the Lübeck hotel management school founded in 1992. In 1998 the school, which bears the name of the Lübeck gastrosophist Carl Friedrich von Rumohr (1785–1843), moved into the premises. The building has five classrooms, a computer room and a teaching and experimental kitchen. The Dornse with the stucco ceiling can be used as a demo restaurant.

The property is still owned by the Jenisch School Foundation.
