Die Eiche, Cultural heritage warehouse in Lübeck's Old City, Germany

The seven-story brick warehouse Die Eiche stands at An der Untertrave 34, featuring large windows for natural light and air circulation throughout the structure.

Built in 1873 by Thomas Johann Heinrich Mann as a grain storage facility, the warehouse played a central role in Lübeck's trading activities near the Hanseatic port.

The building appears in Thomas Mann's novel Buddenbrooks, connecting the architectural heritage with German literature through the Nobel Prize winner's narrative.

Die Eiche now functions as a columbarium, offering multiple types of memorial spaces and a ceremonial hall for various gatherings and cultural events.

The warehouse combines its protected architectural status with a modern purpose, serving as a memorial site where urns are stored within historical grain storage walls.
