location

history

The Wehdehof bears its name after the Wehde , the pastorate of the Marienkirche, proven since the 13th century . The large property belonging to the Wehde was originally considered the Wehdehof . The rear gardens, rear houses and corridors belonging to the surrounding houses were largely removed in 1895 to make room for the new market hall built within the block. The market hall, like almost the entire city block, was destroyed in the bombing raid in 1942 .

During the reconstruction, two parking garages were created in the newly created inner courtyard of the block in 1963, surrounded by a series of ground-level open-air parking spaces with resident parking rights: the St. Marien parking garage and the Karstadt parking garage, which belonged to the Karstadt department store on Breiten Straße. The main driveway, which also gave the parking garage its address, was a passage on the ground floor of the Fünfhausen 3a building. Although there are only access, development and service routes for the parking garage, parking lots and delivery areas within the block courtyard, these traffic areas were officially under the In summary , the name Wehdehof is dedicated as a street , which is also listed accordingly in the city's official street directory.

Debate about redevelopment

At the end of January 2010, the two parking garages in the Wehdehof were closed due to urgent repair work. However, due to the high need for renovation, a new building was planned. A plan approved by the Design Advisory Board in 2011 envisaged the replacement of the dilapidated multi-storey car park with almost 600 spaces with a new glass-framed building with 430 spaces. After several renegotiations and taking into account the residents' parking rights, the citizenship approved a building with 800 spaces and an extension right up to the back wall of the property in Mengstraße in 2015. This led to objections from those in favor of a planned literary museum in and around the Buddenbrookhaus .
