Moltkestraße

Moltkestraße is a street in the St. Jürgen district of Lübeck where buildings from various periods are visible. The architecture ranges from older structures to later additions that reflect the city's growth.

The street received its name from Prussian field marshal Helmuth von Moltke the Elder, whose military successes shaped Germany in the 1800s. The St. Jürgen district developed as a residential area outside the historic old town during the 1800s and 1900s.

The buildings show brick architecture typical of northern Hanseatic trading cities. You can see on the facades how construction styles evolved over centuries.

Several bus lines stop at various points along the street and connect it to the main train station. For pedestrians the street is easy to walk and offers insights into daily neighborhood life away from tourist centers.

Each building on this street has a separate entry in a German heritage registry documenting its own historical features. This detailed recording allows visitors to understand the differences between individual structures and their specific construction history.
