Good Strecknitz

The estate of Strecknitz has been part of the territory of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck since the Middle Ages and has been gradually settled since the beginning of the 20th century. It is named after the stream Strecknitz, which runs along its southern border and has been part of the Lübeck landwehr since 1300 coming from Krummesse.
The first documentary mention in 1248 identifies the estate of Strecknitz as municipal property, which has been repeatedly leased to changing tenants based on documentation at least since 1339. The rents from such enterprises were then left as benefices to other councilors and mayors, who were otherwise acting in an honorary capacity. Thus, the usufruct of the estate of Strecknitz was granted for life to one of the usually four simultaneously serving mayors. Among those beneficiaries were the mayors Heinrich Plönnies, Johann Lüdinghusen, Jakob Bording, Heinrich Wedemhof, and Otto Brokes in succession. In 1662, Mayor Gotthard von Höveln leased the estate from the financially hard-hit city burdened by the Thirty Years' War, with which he soon fell out. During this time, there was severe conflict between the flourishing estate economy in Holstein and the regulated guilds in the cities over the bönhasen, meaning the free competition of craft services not subjected to regulation, which were provided in the vicinity of the estates and offered to the townspeople at correspondingly lower prices. Höveln relinquished the lease of Strecknitz in 1668, a year before his great scandal with Lübeck. The city initially leased the operation and then sold it in 1685 due to acute financial distress for only 28,900 courant marks to merchant Daniel von Melle. He soon resold the estate at a profit and turned it into a "Walzengut," as they say in Holstein and Mecklenburg, meaning an enterprise that was frequently transshipped and thus always on the move. However, the management continued to be mostly carried out by tenants.
