Polizeistation Synagoge Lübeck

Polizeistation Synagoge Lübeck is listed as a police and authorities location at St.-Annen-Straße 11-13, 23552 Lübeck. It is the police container positioned in the front garden of the Lübeck Synagogue, where it has stood since a series of fires was started at the synagogue in 1994.

The stop is included in the Nosferatu Lübeck Ghost Hunt, where the container and the synagogue's exterior are considered together.

Why is there a police container outside the Lübeck Synagogue?

The container is there to protect the Lübeck Synagogue after the 1994 fires. Since then, police have been installed outside the synagogue, watching the site 365 days and nights in three shifts.

That makes the container a specific part of the synagogue's documented history in Lübeck. It is not an unrelated police facility beside the building: its presence continues the protection put in place after the fires.

What did the Lübeck Synagogue look like before its facade was changed?

The Lübeck Synagogue once had a beautiful Moorish facade, described in the tour material as resembling the grand synagogue in Berlin. The Nazis replaced that Moorish facade with the red brick facade visible today.

At Polizeistation Synagoge Lübeck, the police container therefore stands beside a building whose exterior has already been changed by the site's history. The red brick facade is the result of that replacement, rather than the synagogue's original appearance.

What should you notice at Polizeistation Synagoge Lübeck?

Notice two connected features: the synagogue's red brick facade and the police container in its front garden. The facade records the replacement of the earlier Moorish design by the Nazis, while the container reflects the synagogue's continuing protection after the series of fires in 1994.

You can examine this place as stop 9 of 13 in the Nosferatu Lübeck Ghost Hunt. The location's address is St.-Annen-Straße 11-13, 23552 Lübeck.
