Invitation to monument preservation: Stargasse is now protected!

Significant events are on the program in Lübeck on Thursday, December 4th, 2025. At 5 p.m., the Monument Preservation Department of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck invites you to an information event in the Gärtnergasse-Weberkoppel e.V. community center. V. a. The focus is on the inclusion of the Stargasse street in the list of monuments, which will be of great interest to many residents. hl-live.de reports that the event is aimed at both interested residents and citizens of the Hanseatic city and is intended to help clarify fundamental questions about monument preservation.

The Stargasse in particular, which is characterized by its uniformly arranged residential buildings, will be illuminated during the event. This settlement was created around 1925, during the settlement of the Gärtnergassen district, which at that time benefited families who suffered from the consequences of the First World War. This not only shows a piece of history, but also the urban development character of Lübeck from the time of the Weimar Republic - a cultural asset worth protecting that must also be viewed in the larger context of urban development and housing policy.

Preservation of monuments on site

The Lübeck Monument Preservation Office, a state agency, takes care of the protection and maintenance of architectural monuments. Its task is to preserve and promote the city's cultural identity, as can be found at ortsdienst.de. It also explains that monument conservators are not only responsible for inventorying monuments, but also for their maintenance and preservation in order to safeguard the valuable evidence of Lübeck's history.

Monument preservation includes a wide range of measures - from restoration and renovation to the reconstruction of historical parts. It is also important that the substance of the monuments is preserved through continuous use. These goals are also supported by authorities and institutions at the federal state level, which create legal frameworks to protect and preserve cultural monuments. wikipedia.de highlights that the first modern monument protection law was passed in Germany as early as 1902, which laid the foundation for institutionalized protection of historical heritage.

The Stargasse as a monument

The monument value of Stargasse lies not only in its historical arrangement, but also in its function as an example of simple living conditions in the Lübeck suburb of St. Jürgen in the early 20th century. Both social and economic developments that are important for the city's history become clear here. The event on December 4th not only represents an informative exchange on questions of monument preservation, but also invites you to rediscover your own surroundings and their history.

Participation in this exciting event is free of charge and registration in advance is not required - another good reason to come by and exchange ideas with other citizens interested in cultural history. Be there when Stargasse takes a new place on the monument list and the value of our history is highlighted!
