Character of the district
Herrenwyk is a predominantly industrial embossed district of Lübeck. Until the 1990s, the blast furnace, Flender Werft and the fishing industry workers filled this neighborhood. The over the Trave leading Mr. Bridge, the largest bascule bridge in Europe, was part of the appearance Herrenwyks. With industrialization, extensive housing estates were created, which can be visited around the iron road today.
The buildings, built during the blast furnace plant, used for other purposes today. So the casino is now a retirement home. The former bath house, which was visited by the inhabitants Herrenwyks whose houses did not have bathrooms, office purposes.
Industry Museum History Workshop Herrenwyk
Is the Industrial Museum History Workshop Herrenwyk, a lovingly decorated small museum with many exhibits from the former blast furnace plant at the intersection Kokerstrasse / Bakery Street. There is a documentation on the living conditions of the workers, a merchant store, a blacksmith shop with tools and a forging hammer, the production of submarine parts and of one-man submarines. In a separate room, the industrial enterprises in Lübeck be shown on a map that occupied in World War II forced laborers, on another board, the bearing of the forced laborers.
Former warehouse
Important for the district Herrenwyk after the Second World War were the refugee camp Flender I, II and III and the Nicholas camp. In these camps, about 18,000 refugees from the former eastern territories were housed. Many of them found their first job in the Flender Werft or in the fishing industry. The already as a slave labor camp on the island at present Mr. Herren Tunnel built by the SS " Camp On Jam" was used in the summer of 1947 for Polish Displaced Persons, which were attributed in part against her will in their home. Which brought to Germany the Exodus passengers were in the autumn of 1947 there, as in the camp Pöppendorf in Waldhusener forest, by the British military government housed that had been applied as illegal immigrants on July 18, 1947 about 20 kilometers from Gaza by the British.
After the repeal of the camp was solidified in the men's island a colony garden to a small residential estate on leased land.
Flender Werft
Founded in 1917, bankruptcy in October 2002
The Flender Werft was founded in 1917. The original plan was only the construction of floating docks; very quickly but then began the construction of ships and submarines. In the 1950s, the Flender Werft counted with up to 4000 employees the largest employers in Lübeck. Due to the shipbuilding crisis, the workforce had to be reduced more and more. Nevertheless, kept the yard until they took over with the construction of two high-speed ferries to the Greek Superfast Ferries and in October 2002 had to apply for bankruptcy. 800 remaining jobs were gone. The last ship was the Norröna for the Faroe Islands. This ended the 120 - year history of the iron and steel shipbuilding in Lübeck. The Flender Werft has been deleted permanently from the commercial register in 2006. The buildings mostly demolished and the site is now used by the shipping company Lehmann for the ferry service in the Eastern Bloc countries.
Hochofenwerk
Founded in 1905, bankruptcy in 1981
Until the early 1990s, the district was Herrenwyk location of a large steelworks. The waste in this blast furnace top gas was burned by a power plant in Lübeck- Herrenwyk. The foundation stone for the factory was laid on 7 November 1905 and commissioned in August 1907 in operation. From 1905 coined Moritz Neumark ( 1866-1943 ), the fortunes of the company until he was forced in 1934 because of his Jewish origin, resign as general manager and sole director. 1937 Friedrich Flick took over the work in 1954 was converted into the metal smelters Lübeck AG, from 1958 GmbH. After a bankruptcy in 1981, the factory was demolished and leveled in 1992. The site was managed by the established on April 20, 1982 New metal smelters Lübeck GmbH, which also no longer exists since 1991. 2009 was the last building of the company, built in the 1978 42 -meter high cooling tower demolished. The area will use the port operator Lehmann KG Park and maneuvering space for trailers.

Power plants
Commissioning in 1911, demolition in 1990
On June 11, 1911, the powerhouse of the Northwest German power stations AG NWK went next to the blast furnace plant in Lübeck- Herrenwyk in operation. A second power plant followed in 1942 in Lübeck- Siems. Both power plants that belonged to the last Preussen Elektra (now E.ON ), were decommissioned in the early 1990s and is now demolished.
Converter station
Instead of the power plant, the converter station of Baltic Cable HVDC was built, which was started in 1994. From the converter station Herrenwyk is a 380 kV line to the substation Lübeck- Siems, which ends there. This conductor is not connected as a single 380 kV line in Germany directly with the other lines of this voltage level. Although since 1990 to continue to Schwerin is planned, this project has not been implemented for environmental reasons. On the grounds of the converter station is also a 110-/20-kV-Umspannwerk which is fed via two coming from the substation Lübeck- Siems 110 kV circuits. These circuits are on the lowest cross beam of the overhead line substation Lübeck- Siems, representing a combined 380-/110-kV-Freileitung mounted. A transformer for coupling the 380 - kV level with the 110- kV level was not found on the site of the converter station in Lübeck- Herrenwyk. Because of the lack of connection of the converter station in Lübeck- Herrenwyk to the Central European 380 kV network, the Baltic Cable could not be operated at the maximum power output of 600 megawatts, but only with a maximum of 372 megawatts by the year 2004. This year, one conceived and erbauter by Siemens static var compensator was put into operation (SVC ) in Lübeck- Siems and installed a 220 kV underground substation to Lübeck- Bargerbrück, whereby a transfer of 600 MW is now possible.
Mr. Bridge and Tunnel
Mr Bridge: Construction in 1960, demolition as of September 2005
The Lord Bridge was a bascule bridge with four steel valves. Its construction was begun on 1 September 1960. With their approach bridges and the actual bascule bridge they came to a length of about 550 meters, the width of the deck slab was 27 meters and the width between piers 62 meters. With a maximum height for the boat trip from 22 meters many vehicles could pass the bridge without an opening.
Due to the many defects and immensely high repair and maintenance costs, Mr. Bridge was demolished in September 2005 and replaced by the toll Herrentunnel.
