Stoffershorst
Stoffershorst was one of the Wakenitzhorste (settlement sites) along the Wakenitz between the Ratzeburger See and Lübeck .
location
Stoffershorst was located on the east bank of the Wakenitz, directly opposite Absalonshorst and about 6.9 km as the crow flies from the center of the city center. From the land, Stoffershorst was accessible via a path that led to Herrnburg , about 1 km to the north .
history
The origins of this fisherman's nest are not known. Around 1750, the Wakenitz fisherman Johann Friedrich Möller (* 1712; † 1751) lived there, from whom the oldest documented name Möllers Buden Horst was derived. The Horst received its final name from Hans Georg Christopher called Stoffers (* 1781, † 1860), who had been the owner since 1814.
Since the entire eastern bank of the Wakenitz between Rothenhusen and the Landgraben belonged to Schattin , which in turn had been a Lübeck exclave since 1300 , Stoffershorst was on Lübeck territory. Ecclesiastically it was assigned to St. Aegidien , but throughout its existence the residents mostly preferred to visit the Herrburg village church , which is much closer .
In 1909 the old fisherman's cottage was replaced by a newly built house and a separate barn; In the following year, Stoffershorst was sold to the gardener Carl Niemann (* 1879; † 1955), who no longer operated fishing, but wanted to use the associated property for agriculture. However, the yields on the unsuitable land remained low, which is why Niemann initially intended to resell it, but then set up an inn with guest rooms .
Due to the Greater Hamburg Law of 1937, Lübeck lost the areas east of the Wakenitz, and thus also Schattin and Stoffershorst, to the state of Mecklenburg . In 1945 the Soviet occupying power claimed the building and land; the Niemann family moved into an uninhabited weekend house across from Nädlershorst and fled to Lübeck in 1947. In 1961, Stoffershorst was razed by the border troops of the GDR , so that nothing remains today. Today it lies in the nature reserve Wakenitzniederung .
Up until the Second World War , Stoffershorst was a popular place for excursions and a landing stage for excursion boats on regular services on the Wakenitz; after 1945 Absalonshorst, who had previously been insignificant in this regard, took over this role.
