Vereinsstrasse (Lübeck)
The club street is a transition of Lübeck .
location
The front building on Vereinsstraße is the building at Krähenstraße No. 24. The Vereinsstraße itself bears the number 22. The corridor, accessible through a gateway, runs in a south-westerly direction and merges seamlessly into the adjoining Behrends Hof , which faces Stavenstraße .
history
The Vereinsstraße is the youngest of Lübeck's residential corridors and, unlike most of the corridors and courtyards, does not date back to the Middle Ages , but was first created in the 19th century .
The area that it occupies was already listed as a desert site in the 15th century , i.e. unused due to circumstances that are no longer known. In 1559 the still undeveloped property became the property of the city, which in turn gave it to the neighboring Zerrenthien poor house. The poor house sold the site on in 1579, and three smaller houses were built (according to the house number system, Krahenstrasse 525, 526 and 529 JohQ., Valid from 1820 ).
In 1867 the non-profit building association acquired the site. The three houses were demolished and the new building that is still there today was erected. On the long plot behind, seven terraced houses were built in a simple brick construction, which were designed as contemporary workers' apartments and had nothing in common with the usual image of medieval gang stalls .
At the transition to Behrends Hof, behind the seventh row house, there was initially a connection to the adjoining Warnckes Gang (broken off in 1951; not to be confused with the corridor of the same name in Glockengießerstraße ), but this disappeared when two new corridors were built in Behrends Hof around 1892 and closed the vacant lot on Vereinsstraße.
The Vereinsstraße bears its name after the client, the non-profit building association. Its name is misleading because it is actually not a dedicated street and accordingly it is not listed in the official Lübeck street directory. Despite its name and the almost street-like width, Vereinsstraße is a residential corridor and thus, like the other corridors, publicly accessible private property. It is unusual that there is not a sign with the name of the corridor and its house number on the front building above the gateway, as is usual in Lübeck.
